Ahmed Saudi Arabia

Once you are past the tiny lobby, the 4 bed female room had huge windows that open and a bright, wonderful sun filled room, tall ceilings, big lockers. Big windows in the dining area with great view! Hostel is on the 4th floor, grateful for the side stairs option instead of elevator.

Sherena United States of America

location was so lovely right next to train station and short walk from all of bergens sights

Dillon United States of America

Clean rooms with great views, in a really excellent location. Walkable within 15 minutes to most things, including bus and light rail if venturing further. There are separated showers and plenty of them, a decent amount of water closets, and even available washer/dryer (dryer looked coin operated). The lift worked fine and the staff we encountered were really nice, even let us check in a bit early as our room was available. Wi-Fi worked well, too. The shared kitchen had free coffee. Really great place to stay, already booked again for when I go back to Bergen

Tara United States of America

Supaporn Thailand

We loved the location and the common areas! Our private room was small but very functional.
