What are the best hotels in Bergen?

Areas, hotel types and examples listed by Visit Bergen.

Short answer

Norway has no official hotel star rating, so in Bergen the main choice is the area: Bryggen, Nordnes, Nygård near Grieghallen, or the Flesland airport area. Visit Bergen lists historic options at Bryggen such as Det Hanseatiske Hotell and Home Hotel Havnekontoret, and Hotel Norge, which first opened in 1885.

Why

  1. Visit Norway states that there is no official star rating of hotels in Norway.
  2. Visit Bergen counts about 45 hotels in the city centre and the rest of the region, and all of them offer free Wi-Fi.
  3. Det Hanseatiske Hotell, the closest neighbour of the Hanseatic Museum at Bryggen, has 16 rooms, according to Visit Bergen.

Details

Most central hotels are a 5–10 minute walk from Grieghallen, and most hotels in Bergen include breakfast. Nordnes has small old houses and cobblestone streets near the Bergen Aquarium, and Klosterhagen Hotel is located there. In Nygård, close to Grieghallen, Scandic Ørnen is a well-known option. For nature outside the city, Visit Bergen suggests Solstrand Hotel & Bad by Bjørnefjorden.

Tip

Choose the area first and then compare hotels there: Bryggen suits sightseeing on foot, while hotels near Flesland suit early flights.

What may differ

Prices depend on the season, and Visit Bergen notes that accommodation tends to be cheaper in winter than in summer. Hotels outside the city, in places such as Os, Sotra or Nordhordland, give more nature but need transport back to the centre.
