Beautiful venue with very professional and friendly staff. The theater itself is very modern and…read morethe seating layout is very efficient-there is no bad seat in the house here. Entry was very smooth-employees were quick to scan tickets and warmly welcome patrons to the venue. Security guards were also kind and laid back while still being professional. The acoustics here are excellent, and I really enjoyed the experience of being in the front row. The barrier is very close/level to the stage, so it feels like an intimate concert experience. I saw Morrissey here 8/6/16 and it was all around an incredible gig.

A Christmas concert without Christmas music (or yes she does have one Christmas song and that is one of my favourite Christmas songs!!) Grieghallen is an brilliant place to see any kind of concert or play.

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..

Breakfast. Buffet. THE BEST! We were blown away at the size and quality of food for the…read morecomplimentary breakfast after our stay. The meal alone was worth the stay here, especially after realizing how expensive Bergen can be. Gluten free and dairy free options made me so happy. The food was labeled in multiple languages and every allergen shown on every single item out! And for someone with food allergies like me, this means so much. It took a lot of anxiety out of ordering food in a foreign country/different language. The room was small but clean. It's got a cool hangout area with a very modern esthetic to the hotel. Staff were very friendly. They were helpful with travel suggestions and how to use the train. It is a super short walk to the train stop to get to Bergen even with 3 bags.

Pros: Large room…read more Clean Large shower Bed fairly comfortable Coffee machine in room 10min from airport Cons: Parking has a charge (although it's not bad) Room layout weird. Lots of wasted space Indifferent: Breakfast decent but quality not as good as some of the other hotels
