Airport bus drops you off 5 mins walk to the hotel. Excellent location. Around the hotel vicinity, you can walk to see the Unesco World Heritage site of Bryygen. The wharf and market place are interesting to browse around. Nearby is the funicular tram you can take up the hill and have a great view of the water and the... More

A clean, well-organized, perfectly good hotel right next to the main sights in Bergen. This is on a side street right off the main street, which is actually an advantage. Go outside to get your view - this is a quiet place to relax, work in peace, and plan the day's activities. Rooms are simple but not spartan, bathrooms are... More

My travel agent booked me in this hotel last minute on a recent business trip for one night as everything else seemed to be full in Bergen. I paid an atrocious amount for one night even by Norwegian standard prices. The hotel is in a very good central location on bryggen, but that's about the only plus. The hotel is... More

This is a business hotel in the middle of the historic district. A touch warn around the edges, it is in need of a major renovation. Prices were good. The restaurant is really a breakfast somgasbord...and quite tasty. At night there only seems to be one item on the menu. Clean and uninspiring.

First Hotel Marin is one street back from the waterfront in the old town"Bryggen" which is the World Heritagre listed section of the city. Norway is an EXTREMELY expensive country so while it seems dear by Australian standards, it's fairly "run of the mill" in price. We were in residence over a weekend and the noise from nearby nightclubs was... More

We booked this hotel in expectation of the usual high levels of Scandinavian standards of decor and service. Sadly, we were bitterly disappointed. The good points: our room was on the 4th floor and directly overlooked the harbour. It was a large room which was warm and there was little noise from adjoining rooms. The breakfast was very good with... More

Can't get any closer to all the good stuff; museums, Bryggen, restaurants everything right here, even train station is close. Breakfast is very good and staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and spacious. Good value for Norway!
