Home Hotel Havnekontoret

Staff: Helpful and smiling. MEALS: Breakfast: Absolutely wonderful, with many healthy choices and a variety of breads (important for me). Dinner: Lots of healthy salads, plus hot and cold choices, everything was delicious (including the bread). More variety than we expected. Totally at a loss to comprehend why some reviews we read were negative. So unfair! If you are still debating, hurry up and book before it's too late! The property is unique and intriguing, many famous people stayed there, no wonder. Don't miss asking for a key to walk up to the tower, it will provide you with a wonderful overview of the city. Transportation: Bus stop just a few steps away, so convenient! Bergen is beautiful, just be prepared and pack your raingear. Don't miss to ride up to the mountain (within walking distance). Amazing views and great hikes. Highly recommend the Back Stube (close to the Fish Market) for delicious baked goods, which we took along for our trip back home, we loved their Pretzels!

Excellent value for money, having the half board was amazing as dining out all the time in Bergen would be very expensive. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. There were a lot of food options at breakfast and dinner with something for all dietary requirements. We used the gym area which was helpful to have, there is a sauna & steam room as well but we didn’t use those. The location is superb, right on the main harbour and I’m sure that during the warmer months the view from the tower would be amazing.

Amazing location between the fortress and the UNESCO heritage old wooden town. Our room had nice views over the fishing harbour. Our room had a desk chair but two extra comfortable chairs which we thought was good. We also had proper glasses in the bathroom ( not plastic cups ) as well as two wine glasses. The buffet dinner was excellent and the choice of food at breakfast was incredible. The hotel also puts on coffee and cake after 3.00 pm. We also had two beautiful sunny days which was a bonus as Bergen has a reputation for rain and bad weath

The breakfast is one of the best in Europe. Smoothies and little chai pots, pancakes, real porridge cooked to perfection, as well as hot options to suit all tastes. The dinner was included and is a buffet style served between 6-8pm. The options are amazing and includes a soup starter and a couple of mains, such as fish pie and there are a number of side dishes which include lentils, baked potatoes and salads. There is bread and fermented foods. It is all you can eat so you can eat till you are full. The room was very quiet and cosy. As I was busy in the day, I only used the room to sleep. It is all very clean. Location - next door to supermarket and close to restaurants and the water. You can walk to the town centre very easily.

Really beautiful setting for a very special anniversary and birthday trip! The staff made it so special and the food especially was incredible- we were amazed at the amount of complimentary food provided to guests and the quality of the meals on offer was really high. The bar and dining areas really achieved the cosy hygge feeling! The room was beautiful and housekeeping were perfect. The sauna is such a great addition and was quiet and spotlessly clean. The staff were exceptional- attentive, friendly but not intrusive and nothing felt like it was any trouble at all.
