I stayed in the Marken Gjestehus located 5 minutes or so from the city centre. The location is good and the place is ok. Good value for price. This place is good for groups or travellers that want to cook their own food as they have all the needed facilities. For me it was just for staying cheap while I... more

I enjoyed my stay here. My friend and I had been backpacking for a few days, so it was nice to get to a comfortable and relaxing place after our trip. Staff were very helpful and everything was well thought out. I found the massive lockers (free) very useful as I had a lot of stuff with me and was... more

We've stayed here for 2 nights with 2 different rooms with private bathroom. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and decorated in green colour. 10 mins walk to fish market and not more than 5 mins to railway station. There is also a supremarket near the hostel. Kitchen in commone room is well-equipped. Free wi-fi in room is really wonderful! Staff... more

Marken Gjestehus has an excellent location a few blocks from the harbor or the train station. There is a pedestrian mall directly behind the hostel that has 2 grocery stores (the ICA has free internet) and several restaurants/bars. Staff speaks excellent English as was very friendly and helpful. Only real downside is that Kong Oscar's gate, the street that runs... more

If you're looking for a reasonably priced central location in Bergen, I can highly recommend Marken Gjestehus. I stayed for a couple of nights with a buddy from May 1-3 in a two person room with toilet. The room (437) we had was large enough for the two of us with a table, 3 chairs and a double-decker bunk bed.... more

I have stayed at Marken Gjestehus three times and I realize it is vastly overpriced. It cost me NOK 630 (USD 100) for one night - and that is the lowest you can get as a single traveller in one room. What you get? A bunk bed where you have to put on your linen yourself (and take them off... more

Shared bath (good hot water and pressure) and kitchen, the former clean, the latter in good order. Small room, average mattress and pillow (have... more

The pros: - Great centric location - Kind staff - Beautiful and clean - Very comfortable sofa in the lobby (Hey! I was able to sleep in it!) The cons: - Few staff - Poor administration - Beds are not numbered On September 2007, me and my wife stayed in Marken Gjestehus fortunately just for one night. After we paid... more

Stayed at the Marken Gjestehus for two nights and were quite pleased with it. Good location between the train and bus stations and the harbor. Close to a little pedestrian cafe street (which was surprisingly dead the whole time we were there). Never a wait for a toilet or shower. Very clean facilities. Good kitchen and dining room. Some of... more
