Loved this hotel! Very charming and right by the dock where all the historic buildings are. Breakfast was good and felt very safe when I was there.

Breakfast was amazing and in a very convenient location to all the places I needed to go for my excursions. However, my room was not clean when I stayed there, and had to return a pillow because there was visible dirt on it, and the back door (this room had a glass door to a open area behind the hotel) that would not lock, so I felt a little unsafe.

Suggest upgrading to a deluxe room for a little more room. First class bar and breakfast

Smaller rooms but central - staff was great and helpful

Attentive staff and perfect location to walk around Oslo

Not to be missed. A dramatic view of Bergen and the fjords.

Top shelf hike with incredible experience at the pinnacle. It was fairly tough made more difficult with misty rain the entire time. Andi was great and brought very welcomed lunches. Wish we had a clearer day but would do it again.

Well organized and a true inside experience. He knew interesting places and made sure we had a true taste of the local food. Special thanks for accommodating Bev’s food allergies. Deep understanding of history of Norway. Excellent!

No clear plan for the day - said she really didn’t like the city and preferred to take a walk in the forest.

Magnificent hotel, beautifully situated. Great staff and solid food.

Terrible experience. Despite having reserved many months ahead, we were given rooms on the part of the fourth floor not served by an elevator. Not a great result for older folks. We were not clear why we got the worst rooms in the hotel when we had reserved so far in advance. The attendant, in a tired white undershirt, did not represent the hotel well. The 4th floor rooms were run down and the hottest in the hotel with no way to moderate temperature. Opening hte window was no solution due to noise from the nightlife just outside. While the the hotel is conveniently situated, location doesn;'t overcome the downsides.

Great staff and location. Upper floor room had a funny configuration but worked out ok.

Lovely little glimpse into local culture and economy. Short walk from hotel was lovely.

Magnificent town with some good walks.

Lovely town. Sadly, time to explore was curtailed trying to deal with luggage lost by the airline.

I asked to change rooms so that we could have a view of the water. Our room was small, but the view was exceptional. They had two chairs in front of the window that were quite comfortable to sit and look out. The location on the water was what made this hotel special to me.

We were upgraded to a very large room, which was nice. The buffet was great. The staff was quite helpful.

The location is good. The room was clean and neat and adequate in size. The buffet breakfast at all of our hotels were excellent, but this one was especially good.

Initially, we were placed in a suite room in the historic section. We had to change rooms because that room had a steep wooden staircase from the bathroom up to the sleeping area. I would not recommend that room. The à la carte restaurant was excellent and we enjoyed two lovely meals there. Salmon was cooked excellently and the chicken in Norway is so tender.

Nice but crowded

Seeing the fjords from the water is quite different than from our land. It is more dramatic. The guide on the boat was quite informative and great to listen to.

We did the Sugar top hike. It was quite difficult, but I felt worth it to see the 360° views at the top.

it was a lovely day, but it was not a unique Norway experience.

we walked up instead of taking the Funicular up. We did write it down. The restaurant at the top was very nice. We did eat dinner there at sunset which was lovely.

Bergan is not on a fjord. It is one of the larger cities in Norway so I guess seeing it is part of the experience of Norway. I did not find it particularly interesting. We did eat dinner at the restaurant at the top of the funicular at sunset. It was lovely.

Loved the rib Safari trip.

It was a very hazy day, but still enjoyable to see the view

I did not enjoy the city of Flam. Alesund is a much prettier area without the cruise ship. We also took a very short hike and I would’ve enjoyed a longer one. Fjord Safari is an excellent organization and their guides are informative and fun.

I don’t believe we used this information. We had Reed on our own about Oslo and chose to do some things

A bit out of the way, but otherwise just fine.

Our original room had absolutely no view, so we asked if there was a room available with a view. The staff kindly changed our room to the front of the hotel and we then had a delightful view of Bergen! It was lovely to see all of the activities below.

Lovely ride on the ferry and a beautiful walk to the waterfall. That’s about all we had time for.

Driver was friendly and prompt.

Not our cup of tea.

It was raining and there was no view. The ride was fun. Once up, once down!

The young lady who was our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was good.

It was raining so we had no view. What can you say; it was Norway!

Great rib boat ride! Beautiful scenery, knowledgeable and friendly guide. Cheese tasting with the history was great!

Beautiful hike! Well worth the 500 + stone steps if you aren’t in a hurry.

Food was delicious and interesting. Service was friendly and pleasant.

Since we were not interested in a city experience, an afternoon was long enough for us to see the sights.

I loved the Bergen Børs Hotel. It was tremendous and centrally located, which made exploring Bergen very easy. We had a loft room to accommodate my family, and it worked out great for us.

The Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Oslo, was extremely packed during our stay. However, it served its purpose since we weren't spending much time there. It was a bit away from the center of everything, but overall, it was fine for our short stay.

The Kviknes Hotel in Balestrand was fine and met our needs. It's old and doesn't have a lot of amenities, but this Euro-style accommodation seemed perfect for the location, especially since we were mostly out exploring and only needed a place to sleep.

The Mathallen Food Court Visit was unfortunately a miss for us. We didn't realize it was closed on the day we attempted to visit, so we ended up finding something else to do.

Great guide who led us throughout the city (easy to bike the entire area).

Fun guide who painted a vivid picture of the history of the Bergen waterfront
