I had a decent stay at the hotel, thanks to its great location in downtown Bergen, just a short walk from multiple attractions. The room was basic but came equipped with a thoughtful kitchen setup. However, the door lock was a bit dodgy, and some aspects of the room were done quite cheaply. The staff could be more responsive, particularly regarding refunds and parking recommendations, but they did offer a great breakfast suggestion nearby.

The hotel offers a wonderful stay with its spacious apartment-style rooms, perfect for families or longer stays. The cheerful and helpful staff made our experience even better, and the location couldn't be more convenient, right in the middle of all the action in Bergen.
