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 wait for porter. However, almost wish I had waited since I had to go up and down a couple of flights... more

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 other rooms...) but when you get used to it it is quite interesting. My room this time was quite small, but always very confortable... Hope to be... more

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 open, it became an issue. Indeed some items were not available for breakfast because everything else in Bergen closes for the 'holiday season'.... more

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 email. We accepted their offer. When we checked out they wanted $500.00 a night twice the rate they had quoted us!!... more

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 of the building where the buses line up). Our experience was as follows: My sister and I had booked a room... more

I've stayed at the Hotel Marin previously a couple years back and had a decent time, but my most recent trip was very uncomfortable. It was Mid-June 2007 and the temperatures were up in the 80's during the day. I got one of the larger rooms, but came to find out that they are on the top floor with no... more

We had a number of problems during our stay at the First Hotel Marin, most notably when we checked in. We drove in late from Alesund (11:00pm), but had called ahead in the early afternoon to assure them we were still coming and to give a credit card number as guarantee. And then our troubles began. We're traveling with our... more

We stayed in this hotel in June 2007 and found it to be in a wonderful location, it was hot whilst we were there but had no problems with lack of air-con as we had a room at the rear, this also proved to be beneficial noise wise as it was very quiet. We had a nicely furnished room with... more

We stayed two nights (Thu and Fri) after arrival from US and had a corner room on upper floor opposite the harbour. Partying in the street prevented sleep until 4:30 am. Front desk seemed surprised we resented the situation. We will return to Bergen but never stay at the First again, or at any hotel close to the night clubs... more

We stayed for 3 nights at this hotel for the first time in Bergen in June 2007. It was our first time in the beautiful city of Bergen. The visit itself was memorable, but the hotel was quite a let-down in many ways. Firstly, there is NO air-conditioning in this hotel, hence if you are planning to stay in Bergen... more
