the worst room i have even had during my years of travelling around the world, my view was looking into a dirty painted outside wall 3 metres from the window the sky was only visible buy looking up , resulting in no view which made the room dark. Maybe acceptable for a night but I was staying for 7 nights. Great breakfast and friendly staff

Hotel is in a great location. Within walking distance to the harbour and tram station. Staff all very cheery and helpful. Reception area very tidy and functional. Rooms are a bit of a disappointment. Clean but very dark and dated. Maybe would be better with a room that was sun facing. Breakfast was very nice.

Great location, close to everything. Hotel staff very helpful and kind. Comfortable beds and brilliant breakfast. We arrived early and they let us leave our bags so we could go and enjoy our time until check in. We had to check out before breakfast had started they let us pack our own takeaway breakfast which was perfect. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others

Great family hotel

We stayed for 2 nights at the end of a week skiing in Norway. The hotel had a great location in the city in easy reach of the light rail, train and bus routes. The family room was a great layout and very comfortable and clean. Staff were extremely helpful and their spoken English was great. The cleaners always spoke when we passed them in the corridor which was lovely. Breakfast was amazing - the best we have had in a city hotel in a long time. The restaurant atmosphere was calm and relaxed and we felt that the children were very much welcome in the hotel. There was a huge choice of cold and hot food as well as a good choice for vegan and gluten free diets. We made use of the 'to go' coffee cups at the end of breakfast to take out into the city before we left. Highly recommend, great value for money and would stay here again if we were to stop over night in Bergen in the future.

Location was excellent. Staff were mostly helpful. Rooms were terribly small and had only two plugs. One was at the desk at the foot of the bed, which was not helpful for plugging in a CPAP machine, the other was at floor level across from the bathroom. No plug near the bed.
