Top hotels in Bergen City Centre
Clarion Hotel Admiral
The room was clean but small, shower has half glass partition which allows water to go everywhere. Bed was comfortable but could have used better pillows.

Hotel Norge by Scandic
Well located , plenty of bathroom counter space The hotel was on strike while we were there so no hot breakfast but no reduced price which was disappointing.

Scandic Neptun
Nice spacious room and bathroom, much larger than other rooms of the same price I’ve stayed in, including two chairs and a small table, business desk and chair, and a small footstool at the end of the bed is nice when putting on shoes, etc. The breakfast was excellent. It’s also in a part of town ...
