4.5 Stars...the rooms could use a fresh coat of paint!…read more Price: Awesome! Approximately $150/night, which is reasonable for the location and Norway. Location: Awesome! The Airport Bus will drop you off at Tourist Information/Fish Market, which is basically basically right in front of the hotel, and right in the middle of Bergen. All the boats nearby whether you're going on boat tour or taking the Norled ferry. Cleanliness: our room was definitely older and could use some new paint, but the rest of the common areas were great. Staff: I didn't talk to them much, but seemed nice enough. Room: Good enough for the price. Quite large with a big lcd tv. Fresh coat of paint needed, but everything was clean enough. BREAKFAST: EPIC! Smoked Salmon, Baked Salmon, Herring, Crab Salad, Waffles, sausages, eggs, fresh breads, fruits, cheeses...deliciousness! You could eat enough that you only need a snack for lunch.Better than some buffets in Las Vegas. Once I even sneakily made myself a salmon sandwich to go...ssshhh! ;) There is also coffee and tea available all day long, which is godsend in a country where coffee and tea can easily run you $3-5/cup. The hotel is so well located that it was easy to stop in for a 20min coffee break between sight seeing. A fresh coat paint would make this a 5 Star! (Note: At time of this review, the US dollar was up 50% against the Norway kroner...$1 = 7.5kr vs $1 = 5kr just a couple years ago)

The shape of the place is what the issue was, calling it a shithole is being polite and I don't have enough room or time to list everything. It's only worthy of being a homeless shelter for street people

RESTAURANT REVIEW ONLY Hit the buffet here after hiking…read moreup/down Mount Floyen for 4 hours. Located inside hotel and has much available seating. Smart casual vibe. Salad bar: Small, but has fresh seafood topping in salad and good lox. Filled up virtually on the salad bar alone. Soup was extremely salty. Hot food: selection is minimal & unimpressive- rice was meh, both cod fish entree & potatoes were very bland, turkey stew was passable. Dessert: Surprisingly disliked most - only strawberry mousse is worth mentioning - and there is no ice cream. Service: Virtually non-existent. Had to get up to ask for water refills. Plates did get cleared, but infrequently. Bottom Line: Nothing special. Given many options in area, would opt for different restaurant in future.

Scandic Bergen City is a strange hotel. It has two buildings, one on each side of the street. On…read moreone side is a very old, dated hotel with smelly rooms and a tiny elevator. On the other side, the rooms are updated, the interior is modern, and there are multiple elevators. We initially were placed in two rooms on the old hotel side and insisted on changing. The rooms smelled, looked like something out of a prison - all grey and devoid of character. For the price, it was absolutely ridiculous. When we moved next door, the room improved vastly, with nice light wood furniture, a TV, a pleasant bathroom and a nice lobby. One big downside in summer is that the rooms become SO hot, and the windows are difficult to open. They are large and could really break a finger if they close so I would not recommend this to families with small children during the summer. You have to sleep with the windows open, or burn up all night long. The street is noisy and distracting. The meeting facilities were nice though and the front desk in the new hotel was helpful. The location in the middle of Bergen downtown and easy walking distance to nearby restaurants and sightseeing. I would say it's a decent hotel, and maybe one of the best of Bergen (I don't know), but the price is quite high for what you really receive, at least when comparing to other hotels in the same range in France, Britain, USA, etc..

Despite the outside appearance, Bergen's airport is small. Ticketing is in one large room. Signage…read moreis small so make sure you notice your flight check-in area. There are few humans but you can access everything you need via the many computers throughout. Security had a line at 4:30am on a Saturday in August, but it flowed quickly. The international flights are in a small terminal. The duty free shop you have to walk through feels bigger than the waiting area. There are shops and cafes throughout and restrooms with places to fill your water bottle.

The airport hotel is about 10 mins walk from Bergen airport (when you see the information kiosk, take that exit. When you're outside facing the "Bergen?" Sign, turn right and walk straight. You cannot missed the yellow colored building with huge "Scandic" name on rooftop. Pizza offering and buffet at restaurant on first floor only. The place seems fancy so we decided to take a 20 mins walk to nearby shopping center where you can find a grocery market, artisanal bakery and coffee shop, bookstore and pharmacy. Thai takeaway is also there. How convenient! Room is clean, perfect for a night before continue on to next destination. Breakfast is included so will have to update when I have it tomorrow. Breakfast starts as early as 4am. Rooftop is relaxing (5th floor) Gym and terrace on second floor. Conference rooms and additional seatings on second floor. Tap and carbonated refills on second floor

7/5/24 - we dropped in after walking back from a castle. Nachos ordered and the worst I've ever…read morehad. The chips were like nachos in America but not nachos, the sauce and guacamole not good. Wasted 90 NOK, 2 hamburgers ordered with fries and they were good. Ordered 2 beers. Plenty of inside seating. See photos. I wouldn't come back here but they had American type food here and not Norwegian. Not than many places to eat in the shopping side of Bergen unless you want a coffee and a bread item. Also, go order at the bar and they will bring the food to you.

We fell into this place as we walked the Bryggen area. The food here is amazing. This place looks…read moremore like a bar, a stage in the back, a casual bar to the left. Don't let that discourage you from ordering food. I wish we would've taken a few pics. We ordered the fish and chips, the bbq bourbon wings and the chicken Caesar and the seafood salad. The salads by far were legit. Very very generous portions and lots of salmon and petit shrimp on the seafood salad. The pics on the menu don't do it justice. The service was friendly as well.
