I stayed at a twin hotel in the city center which was very nice with stylish decoration. However, the room didn't have an electronic kettle and cups, so I had to request one with paper cups, making my Sunday morning a bit of a disaster. The dining experience was uninspiring with limited options, and finding a clean table was challenging. The location was near the marina and Bybanen, which was convenient for my work travel.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautifully designed, spacious, and incredibly comfortable with soft beds and perfect pillows. The lack of an electronic kettle and proper cups was a minor inconvenience, but the provided kettle on request sufficed. The breakfast was excellent, and the ambiance was modern and clean.

Staying at the hotel felt like being in an amazing restaurant with a spectacular view, yet the lack of certain room amenities and the small room size made it less comfortable than expected. The staff, although overwhelmed at times, were absolutely great, kind, and well-trained. The location, easy to reach the city center, offered lovely surroundings. While the dining experience was deemed mediocre compared to other hotels in Norway, the facilities were minimal and standard.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice, very clean, and well-organized, but it can get quite busy with traffic movement. The service was amazing, even when we arrived close to closing time, they were still very accommodating. However, it was disappointing that personal items were not touched for cleaning. The location was outside the main tourist area, which was good but a bit disadvantageous for those using public transport. The dining experience could use some improvements. Overall, a decent value for money.

The hotel is a bit off the city center, but the location is peaceful with easy access heading north. The rooms lacked cleanliness, with dust found near the bed. Although they provided a kettle on request, it was disappointing to have only paper cups. The basic breakfast and lack of toiletries were noticeable drawbacks.

Staying on floors 2 and 3 without elevator access made lifting luggage inconvenient, but the room itself was clean, comfortable, and spacious with a chair and couch. The service was excellent, except for one individual, with friendly and understanding staff. The location was a bit far from the city center but easily accessible by overground transportation. The dining options were good, although some found them mediocre. Overall, the hotel offers a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.

Although a bit far from downtown, the hotel's proximity to a convenience shop was handy for resupplying before traveling again the following day. It's around a 30-minute walk from the center, outside the main tourist area of Bergen, but offers easy access to Historic Bergen and has a superb view. Close to the Bergen railway, which was convenient for my departure the next morning, even though it wasn't easy to find.

The hotel offers big, clean rooms with a new design, but cleanliness can be improved. The service was a mix of unfriendly and very kind interactions.

Overall, the facilities are good but could use some enhancements.

The rooms were tidy and clean, but they faced other rooms and were small, so I wouldn't choose to stay there again. The hotel lacked warmth despite the heater running all night. On the positive side, the service was friendly, especially in the restaurant, which exceeded expectations.
