Part of the Scandic Chain. Free stay (SAS EuroBonus points), thus got the smallest and least attractive double in the house. Bed not too bad, but little floor space. Window to unattractive, but quiet backyard. Somewhat rundown room. Greatest drawback: not a single drawer for underwear and socks. Room had a desk which was good. Very good location. Excellent breakfast.... More

Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear that you liked our excellent location by the famous Fish Market. As you mention, the hotel had a somewhat rugged reputation in the 60s. Today, however, the area is more attractive than ever with the new Food Hall just across the street. We are today known as the "Varg Veum"... More

The hotel location opposite to the Fish Market is excellent. Our room was a reasonable size and comfortable. The ensuite was a good size.The room was at the back with an awful view - but that meant that it was quiet. The rate included breakfast. We had to leave to catch the airport bus at 04.47 and so did not... More

Location - It is near the fishmarket, and the wharf. Bryggen is on the other side of the water. The location is good for tourists. Room - The room / furniture was dated with scruff marks on the wall. I think it needs to be refurbished. We found the room and bathroom to be very stuffy. After using the shower,... More

I just stayed here on business. The hotel is in some ways a cut above the Norwegian average. It is not a fine hotel but everything was a bit nicer and cleaner than usual. The location cannot be beat and the breakfast good. The second floor bar is also a very nice place to sit.

Scandic Strand is in the center of Bergen and is quite easy to find. We booked a superior bedroom at this place a few weeks ago. Our room was on the fish-market side, it was bright, big and clean - However, it was far too hot in there! We tried to turn down the heating but the thermostat did not... More

We stayed there for one night on a Saturday night, hotel was clean and rooms not bad for the price but it was really noisy at night (and early morning!). We were told by the receptionist that breakfast was served until 11.30 the day after which we found odd but as it was Sunday we thought that maybe they were... More

Stayed one night at this hotel and held a small conference for 20 people the next day. The rooms are small and simple, but very clean and large enough for one person travelling overnight for business. I had a great view overlooking the water and city centre, but probably had to suffer a bit more noise at night because my... More

Location and view was great. Except from that the room did not look very nice. Old and outdated...but clean. I didn't try the restaurant or breakfast so cannot comment on that.
