Scandic Bergen City - Photo Gallery

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this Scandic hotel. There are three buildings in total, and it seems that only the main building has renovated rooms. We were given a room in one of the side buildings. We wouldn’t have minded an older room – if it hadn’t been for all the issues: stains and holes in the walls, visible dirt on the sink and beneath the toilet tank, damaged curtains, a dirty fridge, a worn-out towel, and poorly insulated windows that made it sound like they were open whenever a truck passed by. In addition, there were no power outlets near the beds or in the bathroom – only one near the TV and one on the floor where a floor lamp was plugged in. The lampshade was stained, and it was uncomfortably warm in the room even in early May. There was no air conditioning. In the bathroom, an old, yellowed wall-mounted hairdryer was installed, and although a newer one was provided in the room, there was no socket in the bathroom to use it. During booking, it was not clear which building the room would be in, or whether it would be a renovated room – this lack of transparency is very disappointing. On the positive side: the reception and lobby were modern and renovated, and the breakfast buffet was – as expected from Scandic – rich and delicious. Still, we checked out after just one night and found another hotel. From Scandic and a 4-star hotel, we expected much better.

This is a review for Scandic ornen since the hotel was unable to find the roomfor our booking so we were relocated to Scandic Ornen. It was great. Nice room and staff.

The reception staff are friendly and helpful. It takes 15 minutes to walk to the train station and light rail station for the airport. The breakfast is good. We came back after away for the 3-day Norway in a Nutshell tour. We left our suitcases in the hotel storage room while we were away and travelled relatively hand-free.

The hotel is in city center the room is clean and the bathroom is large and clean .good pressure hot water.the breakfast is excellent very big variety as usual at scandic .the lobby is nice with fireplace

Buffet breakfast was good. Room is rather spacious for 2 people, we can lay down and open 2 suitcases simultaneously at ease. Some hangers, ironing board, hair dryer provided. Staff was nice.

Easy to arrive and near many famous visit points in the old town of city

Good location of the hotel, just a few minutes walk from the city centre & old town. Ideal for the Hurtigruten port as well. Nice room for a good price.

The hotel seems a little run down. I read through comments on here before booking and someone mentioned a hole in the tile in the bathroom and hotel management responded saying maintenance would be called. This comment was a couple of years ago and the hole is still there. I was in the annex building which is definitely more dilapidated. Maybe invest some of the money back into the hotel? Also the guests in the room next to mine were having a party but the staff shut it down after speaking with them. I’ve stayed in a about 12 hotels in the last five weeks traveling around Europe and this hotel is very close to the bottom of the list which is surprising as I expected more from the Norway leg of my journey. The staff were very friendly though, it’s just a shame the hotel management doesn’t utilize their profits for the benefit of the hotel and staff.

Location & breakfast fantastic. Didn’t clean the room, glasses floor etc. Just emptied bins & clean towels. Everything else was perfect.
