We stayed here for just 1 night (we were to take the fjord1 cruise to Flam the next day from Bergen) the rooms were very very small, outdated. The cupboard was right in the middle of the passage next to the bed. There was hardly any space for even 2 people to lay down their luggage and walk around. The... More

Location and view was great. Except from that the room did not look very nice. Old and outdated...but clean. I didn't try the restaurant or breakfast so cannot comment on that. More

The location of this hotel is excellent. Your are placed in the middle of central Bergen. We had an excellent view to fisketorget, Bryggen and Fløien. The reception area is nice. Room standard is average. When we came, our room was not ready until 3 pm, but the staff was very helpful and service minded. Accessing the hotel by car... More

We had a room on the seventh floor, which I understand was recently renovated, but if you rely on the "professional photos" floating around out there, you are going to be sorely... More

The reception area has been totally refurbished and is now very nice, actually the best part of the hotel. The corridors are probably the worst with blue carpets, old maritime... More

Like any hotel in Norway, you don't get much for your money. The rooms are tired and old, but they are quite large and the friendly staff put two portable beds in place for the kids. The bathroom is very small and not ventilated. Being charged 140 NOK to watch the tennis on a 20 year old 16" TV seemed... More

very expensive; not worth the money I paid; Beware the toilet: when seated, my knees reached the wall in front of the toilet. there is no cupboard in the room except few simple wooden shelves. there were no tissue handkerchieves in the room or in what they called a bathroom. our room was made sloppily. stayed there from May 23rd...

A historical building in a prime location in the heart of Bergen...everything looks bold & beautiful outside. But almost everything is wrong inside. I was truly stunned that the hotel is so bare essentials inside - the small rooms have absolutely no amenities, only hand soap. There is no hair drier, no iron...there is no mini bar - just a... More
