My boyfriend and I were on a tight budget during our trip to Bergen, so we stayed at the citybox for 2 nights in a double room, no bathroom. It was just what we needed! The rooms had clean floors, a great open window with a nice view of a courtyard outside, ikea matresses on the beds, ikea desk with... more

Bergen is the most expensive city i've ever been in, so paying 500 NOK a night was a relief. Citybox is in a very convenient location, just a 10 minute walk from the train/bus station. We made it there easily in the dark in the rain having never been there before. There is a self check-in terminal once you get... more

Booked a Thurs and Monday night via the hotel's web site. Original booking was for double with shared facilities but then en-suite became available so amended booking. Seems their reservation system couldn't cope. Check in is via self-service terminal in lobby. Luckily reception was staffed and very helpful in resolving problem. On 2nd check following Monday, all went as expected.... more

There is a reason that Citybox is able to charge 600 NOK for a private room with Bathroom in a city where that price could easily be double or triple. Citybox provides a barebones of services and provides very basic ammenities. They do it without sacrficing cleanliness etc though. I personally would take that and use the 50 pounds/100 USD... more

Spent two nights here. Very close to bus station and easy walk to town centre. Bergen is stupendously, epically, eye wateringly expensive so a room with a bathroom for the equivalent of £50 is really a very low price. District is ordinary residential - didn't feel in any way unsafe. Check in OK, cards worked in locks fine (some people... more

We were looking for an inexpensive and convenient place to stay in Bergen and ended up at CityBox. It is one of the least expensive places to stay downtown and it is less than a 10 minute walk from where the Airport Bus (Flybussen) drops you off. It is fairly close to the main area of activities, Fish Market &... more

I booked at the citybox via internet for a double room in August. When I arrived I tried to keep the keys in the "computer box" at the entrance. I digit the code they gave me when I booked but it was wrong! I wasn't able to go inside because the front door opened only with the code. The terrible... more

Highly recommendable. If you are not after luxury, but want a comfortable, clean and well-located accommodation - Citybox is just for you! The rooms are very clean, equipped with fridge and electrical stove. Downstairs, there are also recreation facilities with electrical teapot and a TV. Caretakers are very friendly and helpful. The self-check-in system is very easy. Located a couple... more

You get what you pay for with Citybox. Yes, it's simple and there's not many facilities like glasses and tea/coffee facilities, but the rooms are cheap for Bergen. It took around 5 minutes to walk from the bus station, and then around 12 minutes to walk to the fish market, so it's not that far from everything. There are several... more
