We stayed here on the last few days of our honeymoon. Even though we mentioned to the receptionist that it was our honeymoon they gave us a room with twin beds despite the fact that we booked a...

We stood two nights in Bergen end of July. The weather was VERY HOT, 33 degrees Celsius, more like Ibiza, Mykoonos or Miami then Norway. The old First Marin was pumping up the heat 23 hours a day....

Very nice and more traditional hotel. The room was small but clean and i loved the wooden flooring. Good location right on Bryggen and a short walk to the centre of town. Lots of bars and restuarants...

We asked for a quiet view room - this hotel does not have "quiet" view rooms, as we found out, being placed over a restaurant. However, our view was the best view I've ever had in a hotel - 3rd floor...

Large comfortable room #229 with good natural light and nice harbor view at slight angle. I took my suitcase to room myself since since I was in rush to shower and meet friends and I did not want to...

I normally choose this hotel when going to Bergen - nice location, nice service, god breakfast, good bar, good common areas. The hotel configuration is strange (you pass from rooms to restaurants and...

Don't bother over new year

We stayed 30 Dec to 2 Jan. There seemed to be a skeleton staff only. The restaurant was closed - which was not mentioned when we booked. Not usually a problem, but since almost nothing else was...

My husband and my two children, ages 15 and 17, have just returned from The First Hotel Marin in Bergen. It was horrible!! We told them we had a fjord pass and they quoted us a discounted rate by...

Nightclub-related noise disturbs sleep

Although the First Hotel is nicely located, it leaves much to be desired if you value a good night's sleep. Do not accept a room facing the neon sign "ExOdus," as it is a nightclub (this is the side...
