Scandic Bergen City

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this Scandic hotel. There are three buildings in total, and it seems that only the main building has renovated rooms. We were given a room in one of the side buildings. We wouldn’t have minded an older room – if it hadn’t been for all the issues: stains and holes in the walls, visible dirt on the sink and beneath the toilet tank, damaged curtains, a dirty fridge, a worn-out towel, and poorly insulated windows that made it sound like they were open whenever a truck passed by. In addition, there were no power outlets near the beds or in the bathroom – only one near the TV and one on the floor where a floor lamp was plugged in. The lampshade was stained, and it was uncomfortably warm in the room even in early May. There was no air conditioning. In the bathroom, an old, yellowed wall-mounted hairdryer was installed, and although a newer one was provided in the room, there was no socket in the bathroom to use it. During booking, it was not clear which building the room would be in, or whether it would be a renovated room – this lack of transparency is very disappointing. On the positive side: the reception and lobby were modern and renovated, and the breakfast buffet was – as expected from Scandic – rich and delicious. Still, we checked out after just one night and found another hotel. From Scandic and a 4-star hotel, we expected much better.

This is a review for Scandic ornen since the hotel was unable to find the roomfor our booking so we were relocated to Scandic Ornen. It was great. Nice room and staff.

The hotel is in city center the room is clean and the bathroom is large and clean .good pressure hot water.the breakfast is excellent very big variety as usual at scandic .the lobby is nice with fireplace

Buffet breakfast was good. Room is rather spacious for 2 people, we can lay down and open 2 suitcases simultaneously at ease. Some hangers, ironing board, hair dryer provided. Staff was nice.

Good location of the hotel, just a few minutes walk from the city centre & old town. Ideal for the Hurtigruten port as well. Nice room for a good price.

The room is clean, and the staff are really helpful and nice.For the location, it’s not very close to the main area in Bergen, but easy enough to walk or just travel by scooters. Overall, it’s a pleasant stay.
