Centrally-located, yes--which is nice. Clean? No. Cheaper than nearby hotels? Not by much. Free WiFi? When it works--which isn't often (and that held true across four different wireless devices). The "TV Lounge" has no TV. Don't expect soap, hangers, or even cheap flatware in the kitchenette unit. Loud, poorly insulated, smoky, dim, cold...yuck! More

We were only in Bergen for a night and arrived really late. The CityBox was booked over the Internet based on price, locality and the ability to get there really late and do 'self check in' (something that sounded pretty interesting). The room was big, with a high ceiling and it was clean. The 'self check in' was interesting, an... More

I don't understand why this place is getting bad reviews. It's really quite alright. It's really close to the township, in a safe area, close to the bus station and the room was clean which is really all I'm after. The self check in is fantastic as it avoids human contact. The self locking rooms are also a bonus. A... More

The location is better than the price.Actually this horribly expensive compared with the value. My youth hostel during the university was cleaner than this " hotel", but anyway i would never call it a hotel. The magnet cards does not work.The idea is good to have an accomodation without staff to reduce the price but then i do not understand... More

I stayed at the City Box for one night last week. It was a "family room" that accommodates 4 people. My first fear was of the automated check-in procedure, but that went without a hitch. The key is having a credit card with a PIN number (uncommon for Americans). My other fear was of reports that key cards did not... More

The location was central but there seemed to be many dubious looking people hanging around the street where the hotel is located, especially around the supermarket across the road. This made the area seem unsafe. The check-in system was totally difficult to use - not a foreign system, I have used these types of machines before, but this was hard... More

I stayed here for 10 days during the festival season since it was literally the last hotel with rooms in Bergen and I got the last room in the hotel. What I will say: Staff is amazingly helpful and friendly. There we booked spots in the 10 days I needed and as soon as there was a cancellation they would... More

This was rated as a hotel on many hotel booking websites, the price was not cheap either. Compared to other travellers, Our check in was smooth, however one of our keycards didnt work, whilst the other could not open the door about half of the time. We had to swipe it about 5 times for it to work. We were... More

Stayed in Citybox twice on different days. Expect the room is worse than described Booking.com. Was all much better at this hotel. Very clean and comfortable rooms with shower and toilet in each. One room was the kitchen and very big. Citybox situated very well in the center of Bergen, near the railway station. All within walking distance. Nearby there... More

This hostel is unbelievably bad! Do not stay here if you want to sleep at night. The previous reviews about parties being held in the building (including constant yelling, screaming and shaking of walls) are true. I think it is unfair to be taking bookings from other unassuming guests & not regulating the incessant noise levels which seem to happen... More
