- ZoeNewcastle, Australia43 contributionsUnique design!Was a very modern, uniquely designed hotel with super chatty and friendly staff. Conveniently located within walking distance to the main attractions including the Christmas markets.. lost a score due to my rooms window looking into the stairs, which was noisy at all hours with people coming and going. Otherwise, bed was very comfy, shower was great, and would stay here again!Dear Zoe E, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us here on TripAdvisor. We really appreciate it! If you plan to come back here i will recommend you to book a room with a view, then you will have city view to the outside. Have a nice day and we hope to see you here with us again.

- Amy M16 contributionsGood locationThe hotel was reasonably priced and in a great location. I knew that I had a room where the window faced the atrium and didn't open, but I didn't know that you can't see out the window except for the light from the atrium, which is never shut off. Take an eye mask if you have a room with a window to the atrium.Dear, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at Magic Hotel Korskirken. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the affordable price and the great location of our hotel. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused in this regard as the light from the atrium. We will check if we can do anything to fix this for the future. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to our hotel in the future, and please don't hesitate to let us know anytime if you need any special room arrangements.

- kirstinmeissnerLondon, United Kingdom15 contributionsVery central and modernWe stayed here for a long weekend in Bergen, and the location is absolute ideal. Close to Bryggen, the fish market and harbour if you want to do a cruise. The rooms are very modern, staff very friendly and a big, delicious breakfast buffet. Only negative was that the hotel is right next to a nightclub and you could hear the music in our room on Friday night.Dear Kirstinmeissner, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us here on TripAdvisor, we really appreciate it! I'm so happy that you enjoyed our location, staff, breakfast and rooms. Magic Hotel Korskirken is located in the vibrant city centre of Bergen, so there might sometimes be noise from nearby city and night life, and bars in the same building, during the weekends. If you stay here again would I recommend our atrium rooms, these rooms are inside the building, and completly quiet from the sounds from the streets. Have a nice day, and we hope to see you here again sometime.

The hotel is conveniently located but it is uncomfortable, with no place to unpack and store belongings, slippery bathroom floors and bathroom fixtures which don't drain properly, and ugly, dark decor. The breakfast is really terrible with stale bread and pastries and a tiny selection of other food.

Great location. The bed is super comfortable. Breakfast is very good with vegan and gluten free options. Staff is very nice and helpful. The only thing that is a little bit strange is that the main entrance is inside a supermarket (but also good in the end in case you need to buy something last minute).

Dear Ismamar, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us on TripAdvisor. We're sorry to hear that your stay with us did not meet your expectations. Our hotel is located in the heart of downtown Bergen, where there is plenty of nightlife and activity. This vibrant atmosphere can come with some noise, which we understand may not be ideal for all guests. We do, however, have atrium rooms that are specifically designed to offer a quieter experience for those who may be more sensitive to noise. We apologize that this recommendation was not made clearer or offered to you during your stay. We appreciate your comments regarding our breakfast, and we will be looking into ways to improve it for our guests. We hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a more enjoyable stay in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you would like to discuss your stay further. Best regards, Ane, Hotel Manager

Be Cautious before booking this hotel room if you are looking for a nice decent stay. Don't go on the pictures, there is no Magic, the rooms are extremely small, just a smaller size double bed fits in the rokm and that's it. No Safe Box in the room, no place to open ypur luggage as there's nothing in the room except a bed. And a very sharp wooden piece of irritating dresser the have. This wooden dresser hits your knee everytime you pass by. And the most irritating is that water is permanent flowing in WC, bathroom faucet are ill working. Nothing good i could find except the location. Not at all recommended for families. I asked to change the room, they are asking me money for that. I ll raise numerous complaints against this hotel for their services. Worst hotel i have seen in my life. …

Dear Yashikatakkar, We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay with us. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We want to emphasize that the sizes of our rooms are clearly stated on our website and during the reservation process, as we understand that room size can be an important factor for our guests. The standard size of our rooms is in line with what is typical for hotels in Norway. We do offer larger room categories such as our superior rooms, which we recommend for guests who desire more space. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the dresser in your room. We will look into this issue and take steps to address it. We appreciate your feedback regarding the bathroom fixtures and will have our maintenance team investigate them as well. Regarding a room change, we are sorry that we were not able to accommodate your request. We do our best to fulfill any guest requests, but sometimes this is not possible due to availability and occupancy levels. We hope that you will give us another chance to provide you with a better experience in the future. If you would like to discuss your stay further, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. Best regards, Ane, Hotel Manager

The hotel’s location can’t be beat – a minute’s walk from the Fish Market in historic Bryggen and a short walk from light rail transportation to and from the airport. Breakfast was great. and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable though access to the bed was only from one side and the barrier to contain water in the shower was slightly inadequate. Amenities were a bit less than expected (coffee and tea are available in the lobby, rooms don’t have a safe). It would have been helpful to have been told at check-in that housekeeping service requires hanging a sign on the door in the morning. Overall, we were pleased and enjoyed our stay.

Brilliant hotel, right in the city centre but still quiet. Good rooms with ensuite, bathing products and a hairdryer. Only downside was very little storage for clothes. Fans provided in the rooms as well. Tea and coffee making facilities available in the reception area 24 hours. Good breakfast selection, and an excellent restaurant next to the hotel where you receive a 15% discount if you are staying at the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff with excellent language skills. Highly recommend this and would go back.

This hotel room is ugly, with a huge, grotesque pattern on the bathroom walls, and a pattern on the carpet that can actually make you dizzy if you look at it. The bathroom sink and shower are a black resin material that is aggressively unpleasant, and also don't drain. The room could easily accommodate a much more roomy bathroom counter, but instead has 2-3 feet of wasted space. There is no storage space--no drawers or shelves, and only a minimal number of hooks on which to hang hangars. The shower and bathroom floor get very slippery when wet. Breakfast includes a lot of stale bread and pastry, minimal fruit, and much less in the way of cheese and fish than most hotels in Norway. The layout is confusing and the desk staff for late arrivals does not explain how to get to your room. The location is good but that does not compensate for these unpleasant features.…

The hotel is very centrally located and the staff extremely helpful and courteous. The on the house breakfast very sumptuous and lots of variety. But there are a few minus points . The lighting in the room is very inadequate and storage space in the room nil. Room arrangement can be better planned to store some stuff at least like there being a drawer in the side table or maybe a shelf on the wall . Hooks to hang things were not enough. Also staff should inform guests on arrival about the discounts of the restaurant next door . There is only a small notice in the lift abt this ! On the whole it was a very satisfying experience!👍🏻

Positives first - Hotel was in a great location, the staff were friendly and did everything they could to accommodate us and were able to store our luggage after check out as we had a late flight home. However, the room we stayed in the first night was directly above the kitchen of the restaurant below and also overlooking the dining room of the restaurant. The noise from the kitchen was pretty bad, but nothing compared to the night club adjoining. There was a back door into the night club from the atrium that our room overlooked and when this was opened (which it was, constantly) the noise was unbearable. We ended up having to move room to a room on the roof which was much quieter, but involved a fifteen yard walk through the elements on the rooftop to reach it. After a long day at work, flying and arriving late in the evening, this was the last thing we needed. Any rooms overlooking that atrium should not be sold at the weekends when the nightclub is open.…
