The hotel was our favorite of the trip. The views are spectacular. The food is delicious. The staff couldn't have been more gracious and helpful. We had two rooms for four of us. They are minimal, with no tvs, but the gathering areas in the lobbies and outside were perfect for enjoying each other's company. They even had a shuttle you could use to get into Balestrand since it is a drive around a fjord to get there.

Great location. The lobby is so cute. It's attached to an indoor mall which was nice because it was raining when we were there. The included breakfast was wonderful. The kids loved the bunkbeds!

Our ferry arrived a while before check-in but they were able to accommodate us when we got there. It's a bit of a walk from the ferry terminal but nothing too bad. We had backpacks which made it easy - you probably could take a taxi if you had a lot of luggage. Overall location was great though. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go.

This was a fun activity for us after walking around the city all day in the rain. It was raining on the trip too, but they have a tarp that keeps you dry and you can still see everything. The staff was very friendly and informative. When they say all you can eat shrimp, they mean it! We unfortunately didn't get to see a sunset due to the rain, but the lights in Oslo harbor were lovely.

Really liked the close proximity to everything. The staff was extremely friendly and breakfast was great.

Best view of the fjord from our room. The evening meal was excellent.

Best breakfast! Rooms were standard European rooms. Staff was excellent.

We had a nice sized room compared to others we stayed at. Staff was helpful in providing guidance in the city.

Loved learning about the food and culture of the area with someone who grew up there.

Thankfully the weather was good otherwise I am not sure it was worth the 2 hour ferry ride

I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The owner was very sexist and the food was bland and the worst meal we had In Norway. We would have preferred to stay in Bergen that night instead of spending 5 hours on this trip.

Really enjoyed learning about how they got started and how the beer is made

Sunny day, calm waters, waterfalls what more can one ask for.

Beautiful fjord and glacier!

Good location near the west side of the central area on water.

Saving grace was the staff. Room was increasingly small ( fold down bed) and beds very uncomfortable. Food was expensive and mediocre.

Unbeatable location, comfortable bed, great breakfast

Nice room and good staff

On water and short walk to central area

The scenery was spectacular even in poor weather. We were overwhelmed by the crowds and the mad rush to get on the train, boat and bus. Overall glad I did it… once!

The walk was mostly around area of our hotel. It was more accurately described as a historical tour/ walk than a walk of Bergen

Totally unaware these were small cockpit tandem kayaks! My partner had knee issue so could not bend to get in. I couldn’t go because the boats were doubles. Despite the fact that 2 unscheduled folks readily took place, we were not given, or assured,of, a refund

Comfortable transport through 3 fjords. Boat was electric and not too big which we appreciated. 2 hours in Geiranger was perfect.

Saw many small towns and farms along the way to Trollstigenand stopped at some interesting and beautiful places. Guide was veery informative. Trollstigen was stunning.

Our experience was tainted by the fact that we thought we were going on a boat tour of the islands! This was an informative tour of the archipelago by small minivan.

We had to ask for assistance to get the prior group out. After requesting towels ( not initially provided. Seems like a sanitary issue) we went in the sauna. Very hot! Can dive into the water adjacent to the floating sauna from the roof.

The room was extremely clean and recently remodeled. The bed was very comfortable, but the view out over the harbor was spectacular! I couldn't bet enough of the comings as goings in harbor. Breakfast was outstanding offering a wide array of options. We were very pleased with this hotel.

The room itself was clean with a nice view of the channel leading into the harbor through one window but looked out over the parking lot from another. It had a very small sitting room for viewing the ships arriving through the channel which was nice. The bathroom was small and would have been okay except on of the panels on the shower door was missing making it challenging to shower without spraying a lot of water on the floor. The hotel had a nice spread for breakfast and the food was very good. The staff was helpful. One of the clerks posted some mail for me and they were very accommodating about storing our luggage for an evening departure. The common areas of the hotel were, however, very shabby - desperately in need of new carpet and paint.

This hotel is in a good location, close to lots of dining options and the fish market. Walk to Bryggen is about 15 minutes. The room was clean and a good size. The included breakfast was excellent. We liked this hotel, but it was not exceptional.

Nice, clean and spacious room with good breakfast buffet. No room service but a pool that the kids enjoyed. Great location

Bit dated and in need of renovation. Amazing location and good breakfast buffet.

Very basic and breakfast quite sparse. Location is good

Amazing rustic experience in the middle of nature with great views of he fjords. Despite being basic, it had everything by one needs for a 2 night stau

The location can not be beat. It has got to be the most convenient location in old town Bergen. The breakfast was fabulous. They said they started serving at 0730 but when we went down around 0700 to get coffee, they let us get started early since we had an early ferry. However, I can't recommend it for summer travel. The windows have child locks on them to keep kids from falling out (good thing) but they restrict air flow so significantly, that we baked all night long without airflow or air conditioning. And our room faced the alley so we heard the midnight glass recycle from the nearby restaurants. If you're going in the cooler weather, stay here. If not, find a place that might be cooler for sleeping.

Great tour to local eating/drinking establishments. The guide was great, if a bit soft spoken. I recommended this tour to others we met later in our trip.

You need to do this while in Bergen. Then walk down - that was one of our favorite parts of the trip.

We loved this experience. It's such a lovely day on the boat (in good weather).
