Comfortable and convenient
The hotel was very well located. The room was spacious and clean and as it had a small fridge, it would have just been perfect if they had included a kettle in the room.

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.

everything is awesome about this hotel!
We stayed for two nights at this hotel and loved everything about it. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the breakfast was amazing. You could tell the chefs put so much passion and love into the food because it tasted so delicious. The hotel’s location was also excellent. We were very happy during our stay and would absolutely book again when we return to Bergen.

Hotel was in a great location walkable to the fish market, restaurants and the train station. Helpful staff and excellent breakfast. Small refrigerator in the room was a plus. On the negative side the rooms were very small, hot and the hotel is on a busy corner so too loud to open the windows at night.

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.
