The hotel gives a somewhat mixed impression. The receptionist was very uncommunicative and did not provide any information about either breakfast or the restaurant. I was given a large and very nice room, likely upgraded because I am a Radisson VIP. The interior is very fancy, but that seems to be part of the hotel’s profile. The coffee machine was good, but I wish the sofa had been placed in the same room as the TV. Breakfast was very modest, but that is probably to be expected when there are few guests. I also wish the lady in the breakfast area had cleared tables during service and greeted guests when they arrived. The hotel has great potential, but there is clearly room for improvement, particularly when it comes to service

We managed to get some resale tickets to see Bruce Springsteen so were a bit late getting hotel rooms so options were limited, of those available within our price range we opted for here. On arrival we got off at the tram stop at the bottom of the hill and walked upto the hotel, a bit of a struggle with heavy bags and feeling under the weather but once we got our bearings the location wasnt an issue. We had a pleasant greeting at the front desk and our room was ready ahead of the check in time which is always appreciated. The room itself while nothing special had all that we needed, a nice bathroom and a place to rest our heads. Not our first choice but not a bad choice.

“Nice Hotel close to everything”

Nice hotel only a few hundred metres from the water, close to everything and next to a supermarket so great for snacks and drinks. Room itself is nice size and clean, hotel good price for services and location. Also close by tourist office for booking tours for Fjord and other areas.

Our 3 day stay here was most enjoyable. When we booked the stay initially it was a case of taking what hotels were available as the Bruce Springsteen concert seemed to have decreased availability and increased prices. Saying that we had a perfectly serviceable room and bathroom, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast in the morning while not having a huge variety was perfectly fine with hot and cold options. Special shout out to the pillows which were like sleeping on clouds. The only negatives were the black out blinds were pretty ineffective and with sunrise not long after 4am it wasn't great and the hotel was a little out of the city centre but once we got the tram system sorted out it wasn't an issue with just a 5 minute walk to Danmarks Plass tram stop. Overall a good stay and we recommend staying there.

When arriving by public transport (Bybanen) the hotel is hard to find. The sidewalks are uphill and not in the best condition. You finally see the sign but all you see is the store with a semi underground parking. The entrance is from the back of building and better signage could be used to indicate this. The lobby of the hotel in not inviting. There is nothing there except reception, and the potential is there for a bar or foyer. Restaurant with breakfast and dinner is on the 5th floor. Not like in a typical hotel. The whole decor of the hotel is fancy/artsy including carpets and hard to decipher room numbers. The inside of the rooms is also designed is some modern artistic way, but not very functional to serve the intended purpose. There is no sufficient lighting and the funky switches either don't work or you need a special training to operate them. The heating could not be controlled and the room was very hot. Opening window was a bit of help, but it could not be fully open. There was only one electrical receptacle in the room to charge phones. The sink in the bathroom was extremely small, shower barely large enough leaked water on the floor every time. The only good thing here was the comfortable bed and sufficient breakfast included in the price. The location was Ok. About 20-30 min walk to the city, and one could always use Bybanen from Danmarksplass station if needed. Later on we discovered that you can borrow electric kettle from the reception, but this information is nowhere to be found. I would suggest looking elsewhere for accommodation in Bergen.
