Excellent location having walked from the ferry with lots of luggage. Train station was 5 minutes away and we were easily able to catch an early morning train. Also walked into town which only took a few minutes. Guesthouse owners were very pleasant, hospitable and helpful. The room was a good size to accomodate us (couple and one child) and... More

The building was very old but close to the station. The room was clean. The interior had a sense of beauty. There was a kitchen for common use. The rate was reasonable. The owner was a friendly, kind and beautiful woman. I enjoyed talking with the owner and other visitors at night. One couple of visitors from France served us... More

We spent three nights in this Hotel during last December. The room was pretty spacious and properly clean, the position very favourable to get to the city center by foot in a couple of minutes. After taking Flybusse from the Airport, once you get off at the stop they mention you, it takes not more than 5 minutes to reach... More

This guesthouse was excellent, my boyfriend and I stayed there for a couple of nights in December, and we highly recommend it! It is two minutes away from the main train-station, but not on a main road, so very quiet, incredibly easy to get to, and a short walk away from teh harbour.The house itself is lovely, the room we...

This guesthouse was great. The lady was very friendly and the location was really good from the centre of Bergen and the train station. You share a bathroom with some others, but it does have a heated floor! The guesthouse has its own cooking facilities, which is helpful as the food in Norway is very expensive.

We stayed at Skiven Guesthouse for 7 nights and that place positively surprised us. The guesthouse has good location, only few minutes walk to the harbour, Bryggen, city centre etc. The house is on small hill, in a nice area with a lot of beautiful, old houses. There are 4 rooms on the main floor, a shared bathroom (shower) and... More

Stayed at Skiven for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. As you probably know if you are reading this, Bergen is a VERY expensive city to stay in. However, this guesthouse is very reasonably priced (600Kr a night when I stayed) and having access to a kitchen also means you dont have to pay 200Kr+ for a pizza! Rooms... More

We liked it here very much as it is good value for expensive Bergen. There is a kitchen to make meals and the room we had was a great size. The hosts live separately upstairs so it is no problem to come and go as you please. The location is also very convenient to town.

My wife and I stayed at Skiven Guesthouse for 5 nights. I had a conference at the close by Hotel Grand Terminus (which was expensive and also booked up) so this location was suitable for us. There was only 1 English review and just a few photos of the property, so I was a bit nervous about staying at this... More
