First and foremost you need to be ready for a hike up the hill. It isn't terribly bad, but you just need to understand that when you're headed back in the evening, you've got a bit of a haul. Even so, we thought it was a good option. It was much cheaper than a lot of the alternatives we considered,... More

If you think Oslo is expensive, try Bergen! I had a very difficult time finding a place with reasonable price in Bergen so I settled for this accommodation. The area itself is interesting to explore (many wooden houses from 18xx). Overall, it’s an okay stay if your priority is budget. But if you are willing to pay more, stay elsewhere.... More

Joined colleagues here for second night of their 2 night stay in the apartment downstairs. Compact is possibly a little generous, tight might be more apt, but for a place to put your head down and then breakfast, this was ideal. Breakfast was excellent! Limited kitchen facilities were not used but would suffice for a short stay, loo was clean... More

My husband and I stayed here for several nights while in Bergen and had a lovely time. The place is ideally located with a fabulous view, and is adorable from the outside. The proprietors were helpful and friendly, and the breakfast in the morning was fresh and delicious with eggs made to order. The rooms are small but clean, I... More

As someone who normally stays in chic boutique hotels, I picked this on a whim based on the Rough Guide description and subsequent Trip Advisor ratings. This was my first pension/pensjonat experience, and I absolutely loved it. Everything from the darling entryway, which is blossoming with flowers, to the tidy room with all the essentials and a few thoughtful touches... More

Perched on a street about Bryggen, Skansen is an adorable pension. I peaked in several rooms which were quite attractive, but I stayed in the smallest room which I do not recommend. I am used to budget travel so I have a good idea what to expect but this was too small and featureless (though a sink in the room... More

This was the cutest pension. Great view, great location (just behind the funicular) and lovely owner. The shared toilets and showers were fine. Bergen is an amazing experience.

A lovely stay, comfy beds, great views. Very good value as well. The steep windy stairs could be a problem for some but our top floor room was bright and spacious. Try the apartment if you need an en suite bathroom. A short stroll to all Bergen offers!

Our room was comfortable and quiet, the breakfast was excellent and the location very good with a lovely view over Bergen. It was very pretty at night. Our hostess Jannicke was very obliging and informative and the price was very reasonable. We could walk into Bergen down the hill and have a meal or visit the many museums and galleries.
