Hotels near Illums Bolighus, Bergen

Amazing location, great for seeing very touristy attractions in Bergen, but also local houses and hiking trails as well. The hotel was simple and very clean. This hotel provided a nice and quiet place to sleep. There's a grocery store right across the street, stop in and get some Freia chocolate before bed!

The historic building has some quirks but they were more than made up for by the very friendly staff. For example, one of our family rooms had a key card door opener that was faulty, so a staff member had to always open their door. Also, the very deep bathtub / shower may be hard for some people to safely step into, but we found the grab bars made this ok. The breakfast, mid afternoon waffles, and dinner were all good. The dinner had plenty of choices of a soup, salad fixings, bread, so this was nice on a rainy night when we decided not to venture out to dinner. The hotel is very attractive with an opulent feel, and the location, right at a corner of the Bryggen area, can’t be beat. On a rainy afternoon we could just go a few steps across the square th a good Museum of the Bryggen, which was very interesting. Our three boys ages 11 to 14 enjoyed this museum.

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.

We were really looking forward to staying at this hotel having read the reviews but we were disappointed. The room itself was lovely and - we stayed in Estelle and it which has a huge comfy bed. However there were small pieces of glass on the carpet which we only realised after stepping on some so the room clearly hadn't been thoroughly hoovered. On reporting this to reception it was not taken seriously or an apology made. We found the smell of perfume throughout the hotel very sickly and overwhelming. We ate in the restaurant which was very expensive. I had lamb which was very undercooked, my partner had fish which was well cooked but bland. There were no vegetables on the menu (salad was the only side along with various potato options) so the waiter said we could have a portion of broccoli. This was totally burnt and inedible. The creme brûlée was good. We found a lot better, nicer, cheaper restaurants in Bergen but would have eaten more in the hotel if the food had been better. Last breakfast booking time is 9.30am and they are very strict on this as the kitchen closes at 10am. We went down at 9.20am but the service was very slow considering many of the options are cold so easily prepared in advance. On the last day there were a lot of people, not staying in the hotel, having breakfast and the wait for a cold croissant sandwich was 50mins which is unacceptable. It seemed to us that hotel guests were not given any priority over the walk ins even though we had booked a time and were needing to check out. Most of the staff were very friendly but we did not find them helpful if there was a problem eg I think broken glass should be dealt with, burnt broccoli should be credited. Overall I would not recommend this hotel.

Facilities: Very new. Connecting family rooms, usually two single rooms, combined into a family room with two bedrooms and a small living room when needed, so there are two bathrooms, very convenient. Hygiene: Clean Environment: Very close to Bergen Fish Market and hot dog stand, only a few minutes away Service: Very good Remember the appearance of the hotel. When we were looking for the hotel with our luggage on the first day, we passed by the hotel several times and thought it was a Japanese restaurant because the hotel sign at the door was too small. And when I booked the hotel a month ago, there were no photos of the hotel's appearance on Ctrip because the hotel was under renovation. Rich breakfast.

The location is average, but the breakfast is excellent for 10 minutes. There are a variety of salmon, freshly baked bread, and even a dessert (sweet). A rare mushroom to eat, different hot drinks are available! Praise Light dinner can, because there is no need to pay extra, don't have great expectations, it is absolutely acceptable! In summary, the price is 10 points high.

The location is great, right in the centre of Reykjavík, 5 minutes walk to reach the main attractions. The room was clean and tidy and there was a complimentary breakfast offered which was great.

The hotel provides a wide selection for buffet breakfast, bed is comfortable, and location is perfect, just 3 mins walk from the train station. I arriv ed before check in timing 12+, they arranged me early check in without extra charge.

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.

The key is excellent, in the middle of the mountain, the traffic is very convenient, the breakfast is very good, the staff is very warm, the facilities are complete, the public space is large, the only problem is that the sheets and quilts are charged, even in Norway, it is not common, and the other city is not charged, but there is a saying, The environment and breakfast are really good.
