Let me first say, I REALLY enjoyed Bergen and Det Hanseatiske Hotel. The hotel is funky and charming and very comfortable with great internet access and a super location. 1. For those people complaining about the noise, don't stay in the center of town if you want peace and quiet. I was never really bothered by the noise and had... more

This is the only review I've ever written, to my recollection, but don't want anyone else's vacation spoiled. We just got back from a trip to Norway, spent 2 nights at this hotel in Bergen (had 2 rooms both nites, both with same problems). Location is great (in theory), rooms charming/quirky, but the downstairs restaurants turn into bars that DO... more

There is extreme noise from bar-goers on the main frontage of this hotel until about 3am. Mostly on Fridays/Saturdays I think, but occasional noise on other nights. You can't close the windows because there's no A/C so the room would be a sauna on hot nights. Even with the windows open there's very little cross ventilation. The hotel should at... more

Det Hanseatiske is a lovely, charming hotel with all the modern amenities. The layout of the entire hotel awoke my sense of exploration. There are lots off odd angles and short halways to wander about. The staff was kind and helpful. Our room was at the top with a slanted roof and beams crossing, so you must be careful to... more

The bottom line: I thought it was overpriced for what it was. Positives: Great Location - in center of town Nice rooms - even our attic-type room was pleasant. Mixed: The first day breakfast was excellent and varied. The second day, the breakfast choices were spartan. 2/3 of the personnel did not give correct information and seemingly didn't care. One... more

Very nice hotel, but a little too expensive. The room is excellent and the bathroom too, but it is a little noisy (due to its excellent position overlooking the fish market, harbour and town centre). Very nice and helpful staff. No sauna-we were disappointed. And breakfast is a little below the Norwegian average. more

We agree with many of the comments made by other reviewers - on both sides of the scale. It does have history, charm, and potential; most of the negatives would be easy to rectify (e.g. the breakfast). What we did not see mentioned in any of those reviews, however, was the downside of its central location - NOISE!!! The street... more

A great hotel full of charm and atmosphere. Its location is second to none, being just off the Bryggen harbour. The acclaimed fish market is directly across the road, a short stroll from the hotel entrance. I hadn't realised just how lively Bergen is. We arrived at 11.30pm on a Tuesday night to find the Bryggen in full swing and... more

Hi! I have just stayed at this hotel for one night. The room (nr. 40) is in the top floor. Very small room, but still very cozy. I really like the atmosphere in this hotel. What I really like is that this is a truly unique hotel with a great location. What I don't like are: Breakfast - very very... more
