Really nice place, friendly staff, good location and loads of character - my only regret is that we were only there one night. Not much else needs to be said really! more

Stayed here for one night. This hotel is basic norwegian hotel. Small bed, small TV, small towels etc. If I was staying here for Busniess alone I would be quite dissapointed to spend the evening in the room. Old bathrooms but it looks like they are in the process of updating them. unfortunately there are not many alternatives that are... more

An attractive looking hotel from the exterior with a prime position accross from the harbour, this hotel did not deliver according to my expecatations. The price paid of over 1200 kr per night lead me to think that this would be a better experience than it actually was. Bathrooms are tatty (renovation work ongoing in 2009) and the room had... more

We stayed at the Clarion Collection Bryggen one night. We had a "family room" on the river side so it was relatively quite (none of that terrible bar noise). The bathroom was dirty. The staff at the reception desk was not very understanding with respect to the cleanliness issue -- very disappointing. Also, we arrived by car and there was... more

We stayed in this hotel for a weekend. Unfortunately we were given a room facing the street in front of the hotel and that is also why the rating is only average. Because the room was facing the cobbled street it was very noisy when cars/busses were passing. However, the worst was the live bar on the other side of... more

We had 2 nights here either side of the weekend,our first room was no.403 which was on harbour side of the hotel,it had a full length patio window with lovely views of the... more

We stayed here after a hot few days in a cramped apartment in Paris, and what bliss it was! We flew to Alesund from Paris and this was a great start to our week long trip around the western fjords on our first trip to Norway. The room on our first night was on the first floor and looked over... more

Am a bit surprised that The Bryggen is rated so highly on Trip Advisor. We had stayed in another Clarion hotel earlier in our Norway holiday: The Havnekontoret in Bergen and really liked it so we were anticipating something similar here. The Bryggen was ok. but so laid back it lost something in terms of atmosphere and service. We had... more

We only stayed one night hotel but we had a great experience. It has a great location. Staff are very friendly and helpful. After driving most of the day we were tired when we arrived, but were greeted with pleasant staff who told us where to park the car overnight ( a parking garage round the corner from the hotel,... more
