This hotel is 10 minutes walk from the centre. Much of the way is pedestrianised.
The area close to the hotel was not quite as smart as the areas closer to the centre, but OK.
The hotel is on a hill, so our third floor room at the back was actually ground level.
The room was clean but very small, considering it cost a bit over £100 per night.
Perhaps six meters by four, including shower and toilet.
I bumped myself off the furniture continually.
But once I was wedged in, it provided all that was required.
The great feature of this hotel is inexpensive eating. Outside its often £20 and upwards for a main course.
At the hotel you get a free breakfast buffet, free tea and coffee on comfy sofas in the lobby, free waffles from about 4pm, coffee to go during the week and best of all a buffet for £6 from 6 until 9pm. The buffet includes a large selection of salad/fish/bread/meat cheese etc and A hot dish. The hot dish seemed much more inventive during the week, whereas at the weekend it was pasta tubes in tomato sauce Friday and Saturday. But all in all an amazing saving.
Note that alcohol is no cheaper in the hotel, so that a beer or glass of wine will cost almost as much as the buffet.
There is a minibar in the room with space to cool some of your own stuff.
Movies £14. Fortunately much of Norse television is played in the original English with Norse subtitles.
There was no noise in the hotel and the staff all speak very good English.
A taxi to this hotel from the airport cost £25 during the week.
For some reason a taxi back to the airport on Sunday cost £45.
The meter said Tariff 3, but I don't know if it was to do with picking up from a hotel, Sunday, or being ordered by the reception staff.
The FlyBussen stops are 20 minutes walk away, but perhaps it would have been worth the walk, even in the rain.
Bergen was well worth seeing and the Norway in a Nutshell tour fabulous. We put off ordering the Nutshell until the afternoon before, so as to only book if good weather was forecast. The forecast in the tourist office proved reliable.
Small problems included - lack of public toilets and 45p charge in shopping mall toilets.
Cyclists seem to be allowed to ride on the pavement, but do so at high speed to the dismay of the pedestrians.
Cost of taxis, food and drink.
Best things - Fiords and the Floybannen funicular, which for £6 transports you to delightful views, forest and lakes.
