Hotels near Viking Voyages, Bergen

The hotel is well located, not far from the beautiful historic Bryggen district and the sea station. The reception is welcome and attention. The room is well arranged, it is beautiful. The room is clean, well clean. A good breakfast is served every morning.

A great welcome will await you at Hotel No 13. The staff are all very helpful although special thanks go to Lena who made our stay second to none. The hotel is in a great location in a pedestrianised square in central Bergen not far from the light rail terminus. It’s also close to some great restaurants and bars but at the same time, very quiet. Finally, the breakfast. The choice and quality of the offering is amazing. I cannot recommend this hotel too highly and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there on my next visit to Bergen.

This is the first time I write a review while still being a guest at the hotel, lets start with the good things. The hotel has an excellent location, nice and newly renovated rooms and friendly staff. Breakfast was fine and had good variety as well. However, the upsetting part is that the bad things exceed the good ones. The hotel has a very loud bar/club on the ground floor and plays loud music even on weekdays until late at night, the loud music can be heard in the room. The bed isn’t comfortable, the one I had was used a lot probably and had an inside curve in the middle. The room service menu says that it’s available until 11 pm. However, if you try calling them after 10 pm nobody answers as the kitchen closes at 10 pm but its not written anywhere. They also charge for getting you tap water!! The reception desk, although they say its a 24hours desk, they wouldn’t pick up the phone if you call them after 10 pm. Once I asked for a fork at 10:15 pm the receptionist had to check if room service team would accept as the kitchen had already closed. And had to call the reception twice to get hold of them. The parking garage is operated by a third party, its very small and has probably spaces for 20-25 cars. So most probably it always full, in my case, the hotel staff asked me to go park my car in another public parking garage and walk back to the hotel. The housekeeping team doesn’t clean the room properly, I had hair in the bathroom and the shower drainage is blocked. I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights, this night is my last and I keep getting disappointed every night. I think the hotel has to offer better services and quality. You even have to greet the receptionist as they would answer by hello rather than “good evening” or “how can we help?” But that’s not important anyways. For the price I paid, I expected much better services from this hotel. I would definitely come back to Bergen, but never to this hotel, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Its not a 5 star hotel according to the global standards. I wouldn’t even give it 3 stars.

I chose Scandic because I have had good experiences in the past. However, this stay has been quite horrible. After a long journey to the North Cape and back again, it was important for me to get a good night's sleep before the journey home to Denmark. Already when I/we checked in, many young people arrived with full plastic bags with clinking bottles and large speakers in tow. I wondered, but thought maybe they should go ahead and have a party. I was completely wrong there. The party was held at the Scandic hotel from early evening to early morning. There was running in the corridors, shouting and screaming, banging on pipes, doors slamming continuously, and there was partying and noise that only really drunk people can make. I and others contacted reception who unfortunately could not deal with them. I also think that one or two receptionists cannot handle 20 maybe 25 very drunk young people. In the morning told the young female receptionist that when they complained about a room, the party just moved to a new room. She was very kind and apologized many times. Friendly and sweet service. Immediately, I think that the police should have been called if the party didn't stop. Me and my 2 fellow travelers were refunded DKK 400 for our rooms... But honestly, I think it would have been appropriate to give us the full amount back. Never before have I had such an experience in a hotel.

Hotel is less than a 10 mins walk from the train station. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance. Check in/out are all self service. But if you met with any problems checking in, there is a reception person 24/7 in the building if you need help. Room is clean and tidy, though a bit small. There is not enough space to open up a medium size luggage on the floor.

First off, if you're thinking of going to Bergen, DO IT! The city is gorgeous and the Fjord tours that depart are also amazing. Second, the Moxy is a fine choice. It is affordable and appears to be new (so it's not run down). The brand is definitely trying hard to be fun, but overall it succeeds well enough for me. The rooms are a bit small, but sufficient. The hotel is a bit far from the main area, but you can take a nearby tram (Florida stop I believe) or just walk. We walked and I want to say it was a 20 -30 minute stroll. Doable. Similarly, you can take the train/tram from the airport to the hotel. There are a few restaurants very close to the hotel, but they were just okay. However, the hotel's snacks were themselves surprisingly good.

On the other side of the old city, you can walk over, it takes about 20 minutes, you can also take the bus. We arranged the room on the second floor for us. The result was that we had to go down the stairs on the third floor. It was too inconvenient for us to carry the big box. Although the breakfast is not many varieties, the quality is very good.

The platonic ideal of hostelling, encapsulated in a friendly, spacious, welcoming and clean reality. The volunteer organised activities were very special and made it easy to meet and chat to other guests in a relaxed way. We would never have found the fjord-viewing sauna on our own - although these are only advertised ~12 hours in advance making it tricky to plan ahead. There was a plentiful and good quality communal breakfast every day included in the price. The guest kitchen and restaurant also provided appealing evening meal options with the Bunnpris supermarket around the corner open until 9 most days (closed on Sundays). The view from the hostel itself is exceptional and the location provides easy access to trails linking to the seven peaks of Bergen. The Floyen - Ulriken hike was well worth the effort. Rooms and communal spaces were all very clean and cleaned daily! Amy and Emma

The big plus of this hotel is that it is a 4-5 minute walk from the airport. Because of that easy access to public transportation into the city. The room was quiet and I didn't notice airport noise. Room was clean and modern, but very small, spartan, and with few amenities. Beds were narrow with very soft mattresses. The breakfast was very good with a wide selection of items, though not exceptional. There were only two elevators in a hotel with four floors and hundreds of rooms! As others have noted, the staff is very young and seemed inexperienced, but friendly enough. All in all, like most airport hotels, you get little value for the price. The goal is a quick in and out with a decent breakfast for travelers, but not much more.
