The staff here were fantastic. So friendly and helpful. Breakfast was always fresh with plenty of choice. It is very conveniently located. The bus station, shops, Bryggen and the Floibanen funicular are all within a 10 to 15 minute walk. The rooms are a little dated but this is a minor issue. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay.

Great rooms, great location in the center of the city, outstanding breakfast with all Norwegian specialties, including brown cheese, blackcurrant jam, salmon, porridge. Always cold water. and croissants available in the lobby. Came during warmest part of the year, so was a little warm in the rooms without air conditioner with just open window

Room was very functional, but the glass shower door was loose and did not stay in a position to stop water from leaking on to the bathroom floor. Very friendly staff and one of the most amazing Hotel breakfast buffets I have ever had! Definitely recommend!

Overall we are very satisfied of this hotel. It was very convenient, quiet and very close to the shops and touristic attractions of Bergen. During inchecking we did not have the most enthousiastic staff member. During our stay we noticed that this luckely was an exception. The other staff were friendly and helpful.

Property was clean. Breakfast had good variety. A lot of hotels in Norway don't have AC. There was a heat wave when we were there but unfortunately, the hotel ran out of fans so the temperature in the room at night was barely survivable. We were at the back of the hotel and our room was overlooking a courtyard of an adjacent apartment building housing students. The students were very noisy during the weekend.

Staff was very accommodating and provided two more pillow and a sheet. Room was too hot and we had no way to cool it. Sleeping with a quilt on was too hot but just a sheet was perfect. The location was ideal being near the harbor and many tourist attractions. The breakfast buffet had everything we could want. Thank you!

The hotel is a bit outdated, but the breakfast was excellent with a great variety of fresh options. Unfortunately, the room had no air conditioning, which was uncomfortable during this hot July. The windows barely opened, and leaving them ajar brought in a lot of street noise, making it hard to sleep. Great breakfast, but not ideal for hot summer nights.
