Rooms are spacious although wish they were more brightly lit. Breakfast was decent. It's walking distance to various cruises and the fish market so that's a big plus.

World Class. No complaints.

The staff here provided superior friendly service. The hotel is located in a perfect location, within walking distance of all of the major shopping, dining, and attractions of Bergen. The breakfast is unparalleled. Everything is so fresh and flavourful, and there are so many wonderful things to choose from to suit any pallette or diet. The entire experience was world class. No complaints! We will definitely be returning.

The Orion was in a beautiful spot by the water. Huge terrace to sit and have a drink. Breakfast was great with lots of variety. We ate twice at their restaurant. Menu didn't change. Prices were on par for Norway. There are other restaurants within walking distance for variety.

Ok hotel, great location

Location is great but the hotel is a bit tired, breakfast was very good. Rooms are on the small side. No lounge in the hotel. Really dislike that the new trend is shampoo and body wash as one and no conditioner.

Very convenient to Bryggen and other places around the port, easy walk to funicular Floyen. Close to meeting places for tours. We could walk in 5-10 minutes. While the room we stayed in was nice it was SO dark. The bathroom was bright but the room itself, although there were lamps it was still hard to see. Also the duvets common in European hotels were very hot with no lighter covers in the room. We might have been able to get a fan but only thought of it when ready for bed. We adjusted the thermostat as low as we could. Weather was a bit warm for Bergen. Breakfast had many choices and we were glad it was included. Fare to the airport was happily arranged by hotel at a set rate which was around $55.

This is a three star hotel at best. Rooms were overpriced for the size. Safe didn’t work. Stay here only if there are no other options .

Super clean beds and sheets. Super clean room. Super nice shower - wow! We had a business room with a large bathroom. The breakfast is excellent and included in your stay - save yourself $$$ for a family (Norway can pinch your wallet). Super friendly front desk - understaffed at times - you need to wait in line to ask a simple question. Super nice location. Large locked up parking lot ($$) right behind the hotel. Overall, a very nice European standard, making most of the hotels in the US look substandard and dirty if compared to this property. Worth my money.
