I was struck by howclean the hostel was. Conveniently located near the train station. Had a small problem with being forced to use a broken locker. Some people checked in late and left early but that's hostels. All in all had a nice rest here.

We got a room with private bath in the back of the hotel, which had it's own rear entrance in/out to Marken pedestrian street, and there's a grocery store right there. Elevator was convenient since the hotel is the whole 4th floor of a residential building. The room included a mini kitchen (only allowed to use the fridge and microwave),... More

I stayed here a few years ago now, in June 2007. The hostel is about 5 minutes from the train station and a short walk into Bergen itself, so the location is perfect. I slept in a room for four and I remember having a very enjoyable stay. The only problem I had while I was there was trying to... More

Apart from all the things mentioned already in previous reviews (great location, cheap (for Norwegian standards), clean) I would also like to point out that Marken hostel has a very nice, easy-going, hospitable and helpful staff. Many thanks especially to Guro who helped us a lot with our check-in online :)

This is very expensive compared to the large majority of the places I have stayed Europe, but for saying this is Scandinavia, it is quite cheap for what you actaully get. We stayed in a twin room with a private bathroom (this was the cheapest they had left when we booked with short notice) and it was very clean and... More

Since 2007, I do go to Bergen and Marken hostel. The hostel is very cheap, clean and practical. The proximity to the train station and the sights are fantastic. The staff is very nice. The kitchen is very good, so you can prepare something to eat favorably. A supermarket is located just 3 minutes. Wireless internet is free and available.... More

This Hostel is central to everything. The fish markets / Bryygen area is just down the road. Shopping & bars are just outside the front door. I was in a four dorm room - loads of space, your own locker & quiet & friendly guests. Huge common room off the kitchen & another tv / Internet room to share. Kitchen... More

The hostel is nice and close to the city center (well bergen is such as small town that nothing is that far anyways). The staff are really friendly! The rooms actually have large lockers so you can store your luggage safely while you are walking around. The hostel feels really safe, a lot of families and retired couples rent the... More

Really nice hostel in Bergen, walking distance both from the railway station and the city centre. Affordable for European standards, cheap for Norwegian ones. I hadn't seen such a good hostel since I left my favourite backpackers in New Zealand...the rooms are clean and quiet, the bathroom was huge and clean, and so were the other toilets. The kitchen is... More

This guest house is perfectly located, in 5 minutes walking you are in Bergen's city center. The price is very affordable (in comparisson with Norway's allocantions' prices of course). The cleaning is perfect and the common areas as the kitchen and so on, as any hostel should have. But, unfortunatelly for us (we were a group of 4 friends) the... More
