"Cheap" for Norway standards, this hotel has a very nice location, close to the station and Bryggen. Room was ok, bathroom aswell. Looks more like a guesthouse, since you pay at check-in and, when leaving, you just have to leave your key in a box.

Is exactly what the name says. The room is basic and little over used. Bathroom not the best. Clean with refrigerator and boiler for tea/coffe. Not breakfast. Free WiFi. The price of €130 is extreme but the lowest for the city unless you want to rent an apartment.

Location was pretty good- close walking distance to harbor, Bryggen, furnicular, fish market and other tourist attractions. We were placed on the 5th floor but the elevator only went up to the 4th floor so we had to carry our luggage up the stairs. While costs are generally high in Norway, this hotel was really more of a hostel with... More

This is one of the cheapest hotel rooms in the whole city centre and is good for what you get in comparison to other hotels around. Bergen is expensive, but of course you already know that if your reading this review! This has a kettle, good heating, tv, good wifi and a clean bed and bathroom. My room was quiet... More

Hotel is basic and nice, despite the shabby halls and entry way. Kettle and TV in room. Because of the 'cheap' price though, other people staying there and are party students so it's loud, but not the hotel's fault. Great location.

Fourth floor room facing street for one night. Booked online, no hassle check in, room clean, lots of hot water, free wifi with strong signal. Some street noise as it was a beautiful warm evening and we had windows open. Great location, easy to find on main street, minutes from nice restaurants, bars, fish market.

Convenient and well located hotel. I walked past the entrance twice hoping that I got it wrong. Bad signage near the entrance of a pub. Dirty or unkept entrance which makes you wonder what you are in for. The young staff are pleasant and efficient. From reading other reviews solo travellers get the same room in the attic. To get...

My single room in the attic is nothing like the photos - have to come up a dirty staircase to get to the room - as the lift only goes to the 4th floor. Lots of holes in the room walls from where screws used to be - wall paper/paint needs to be refreshed. Nowhere to put clothes. The 'broom... More

The hotel is not as basic as the name suggests, the rooms are modern and clean and the beds are comfortable. There was a fridge, TV and kettle in the room but no tea or coffee so it might be wise to pack some in your case! Just a short walk from the fish market and historic waterfront, the hotel... More

As a basic hotel it was fine.  However, our window opened WIDE directly onto the roof of the next building.  Either some bars or limit to the swing of the window would have been preferable. To warn you, they have music concerts in the bar on the first floor. The sound takes over if you are directly above them. AVOID... More
