Overall, it was a pleasant stay！ Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very nice.The bathtub and bathroom sink tended to get clogged, which was a bit inconvenient, but apart from that everything was good.

Good location for public transport. Room was adequate for a short stay, could benefit from Aircon but accept that our stay was during exceptionally hot weather. Breakfast was exceptional!

Friendly staff, fantastic breakfast. Only concern was room door locks… unique to Norway.. should be instructions in room on how to use… need to scan your card against lock when leaving… came back one day to fund my door wide open… Convenient location… would stay here again.

Outstanding breakfast buffet. Front desk staff were always helpful and attentive to details. Plenty of hot water and good pressure in the shower. Very comfortable bed.

Hotel rooms themselves are relatively basic (and reminded me of student accommodation). It’s well located for visiting Bergen though, and I really appreciated access to a gym two minutes away (which opens from 6am). Gluten free breakfast options were also excellent

The breakfast was delicious. It is conveniently located to walk to many attractions. Our room was quite small, even by European standards, but clean and suitable. The bed was just ok.

Room was very functional, but the glass shower door was loose and did not stay in a position to stop water from leaking on to the bathroom floor. Very friendly staff and one of the most amazing Hotel breakfast buffets I have ever had! Definitely recommend!

As a solo traveler, the room had enough room for one. Good thing I was one. My stay was wonderful. The staff were always so polite and helpful; a real joy. Breakfast was healthy, plentiful, and delicious. I always felt safe, everything was clean, and my room was quiet if I closed the window. (There was a slight industrial noise outside all night, but a closed window took care of it.) Never before have I given a hotel high stars for eco-friendly, but this one deserved it. Well done!

Great rooms, great location in the center of the city, outstanding breakfast with all Norwegian specialties, including brown cheese, blackcurrant jam, salmon, porridge. Always cold water. and croissants available in the lobby. Came during warmest part of the year, so was a little warm in the rooms without air conditioner with just open window

Overall we are very satisfied of this hotel. It was very convenient, quiet and very close to the shops and touristic attractions of Bergen. During inchecking we did not have the most enthousiastic staff member. During our stay we noticed that this luckely was an exception. The other staff were friendly and helpful.

Staff was very accommodating and provided two more pillow and a sheet. Room was too hot and we had no way to cool it. Sleeping with a quilt on was too hot but just a sheet was perfect. The location was ideal being near the harbor and many tourist attractions. The breakfast buffet had everything we could want. Thank you!
