Had all the basics you’d need and staff were very helpful! In addition to the bathrooms in the room, there were extra bathrooms and showers that anyone could use.

The shower pressure was fantastic. The location definitely couldn't be beaten for its price - 10 or so minute walk to the wharf, 30 min walk to get the cable car. Nice and quiet hostel but wouldn't be ideal for solo travellers.

Location good. Very close to train station. No breakfast. Spartan, but clean.

Amazing location, nice shared facilities, easy check in and check out, and quite quiet given that it is a hostel. We also felt comfortable there with our toddler, they even had a high chair in the kitchen. Really appreciated the fridge in our room.

The location was great. Only a few hundred meter from train and bus stations. Easily walked around town where all the attractions were and up the beautiful hill. The view from the windows in my dorm and from the dining room is magnificent.

In a city like Bergen where it rains a lot, people always arrive with wet clothes and stuff. Therefore the rooms (the one I was in, 10 people dorm) get a bit moisty. Maybe a room for wet shoes and clothes could be useful?
Kitchen, good location, the huge number of available bathrooms and toilets, lockers

Would have been nice to have more designated space for luggage (in the dorm room). The beds were not high enough to store luggage underneath, so there was a lot of tripping over other people’s bags and whatnot.
Had all the basics you’d need and staff were very helpful! In addition to the bathrooms in the room, there were extra bathrooms and showers that anyone could use.

A bit cramped for a 6-beds dorm. Had to try few times to swipe the card before entering the room. The dining area was large and cosy but the kitchen was small and quite messy. The table to prepare the food was littered with all sorts of condiment left by previous guests.
Met amazing people from around the world. The location is close to bergen line railway which is convenient.
