Fabulous apartment, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was spacious, clean, in a great location close to Bryggen and the room was very quiet. Check-in system and app worked perfectly 🙂
Clean modern apartment with all needed amenities. Building is secure and in a great neighborhood. Central to all major attractions. I would recommend a stay at this location.

The room was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. I had paid extra for a studio with sofa bed as myself and granddaughter didn’t want to share. The sofa needed pulling out and making up on our arrival. Furniture had to be moved to allow this as the room was so small. Not much space to move around. Slightly disappointed by the size of the room when the sofa was out.

Clean, modern and a nice size for three women. But one mirror (in the bathroom) in the entire two bedroom apartment, which isn’t great when you’re all trying to get ready at once. The key card entry was easy enough and we felt safe there. Great location, near to cafes, supermarkets and a few minutes’ walk to the nearest bus stop for the airport or 10 minutes to the light rail. You can walk to Bryggen in less than 15 minutes.

The location was perfect. The apartment was very clean and a really good size. The only issue was I found the bed to be quite firm.

Told we hadn't paid and our room was cancelled.
Not able to cook as planned, no salt, pepper or oil, nothing provided
There were steps to our room, steps to the washing machine.
Not what we expected.
I liked the fact that it had a kitchen with things you need in one. I did not like the check in or the garbage disposal after being charged for a cleaning fee.
Otherwise, I liked the property.
Over all our stay was amazing. The heat in the room was crazy. We were on the 4th floor the windows didn’t open more then maybe 2-3inches and me and my partner had sweated so bad we woke up drenched.

I loved that it was quiet and clean and had a kitchenette with everything you needed to make small meals or have breakfast and lunch at home with groceries which are within walking distance about two blocks. The entry system is a little confusing and it would be nice if there were more directions on using convection stove tops and ovens for those of us who've never done that. It would be nice if they had some grocery stores and other local businesses that were close so that when you got in you could easily find them. I felt really at home in my room and everything was very comfortable. The staff we did encounter we're very friendly and kind.

Well-designed studio at a perfect location
Brand new studio with all you need for a few days’ stay. Very nicely designed and comfortable. Only a few minutes walk from the city centre, supermarket, coffee shops.
The only minus point is that the Vander app for checkin and digital key did not work for me. I never received the confirmation sms. In any case you can also check in at the self service checkin kiosk on the ground floor, and you can get your keycards from there.
staff takes too long to reply to emails. confusing electricity switch, no instructions on how to use it nor for the oven/stove.

Not great.
Very hard bed. Very poor internet, that only worked sometimes. The TV didnt work. This is not a hotel, but a rental property in a whole house.

Brand new hotel
All in all, we were happy with the stay. But figuring out the self-checkin and how to use the elevator with the card key was a bit challenging, as was how to use the stove top. Parking was challenging too, until I discovered how close the Klostergarasjen was (the walk from it). The coffee maker worked, then it stopped working, but the manager came and replaced it in the evening. She also showed me how to use the stovetop. More instructions are needed for that.
There are many things to like about this hotel location is excellent within walking distance of all interesting restaurants and the wharf. The apartment was spotlessly clean the bed was comfortable and the shower was good. It was great to have a Kitchen and there were grocery stores very close by. On the downside there was no shampoo I know basic supplies for the kitchen like salt pepper and cooking oil. So I have to go to buy those and I didn’t leave them because the instructions were to get rid of everything. I also found that the lack of instructions for how to use the various appliances was a bit disturbing and I had trouble with the induction stove and with the oven. The price however was very good for Bergen and so I would stay again. I appreciated having a laundry. The gym was less inviting since it’s in the basement with no windows although there is a very large TV. I was so long so the studio suited me fine but it would be very small for any more than one person

Just the facts...
I just want to cover all the pros and cons so people will be able to make a good decision for themselves.
Great location- near water and city center, food, shopping.
No parking so you have to park at city parking garages. There are 2 close by , Kloster (4 min) and City Park (6 min). It is about $28 a day.
In lobby print door cards. Its nice to have with your phone key. Easier to use on front door and going up in elevator.
Room is very clean and modern. Has everything you need, but very small. For 2 people, there is nowhere to put luggage and one 10" to hang anything. Bed is comfortable but wedged in a corner. The top mattress shifts a little. Because there is only a small lip from bath floor to shower area. Water tends to get all over floor. We would stay here again because of the location, cleanliness, and room amenities.

The rooms were very nice but there was no shelving for toiletries in the bathroom.
There was no explanation on how to use the stove which ended up being a constant frustration but with good humor we worked through it.
I do want to address the staff.
We were outside and a woman was trying to put her trash in the outside cans. A staff member was taking a break, she looked over and instead of getting up off the ground to assist the lady, she barked out why she could not get her trash in the can.
It was quite abrupt which could be her personality but in customer care is this what you want to represent your business?
Overall, the things I mentioned are small in the longrun.
They were little annoyances but it didn't take away from the overall stay.
The location is convenient and well situated for a stay in a beautiful city with much to experience and see.
This was a great last minute find. Our other booking fell through so this was a last minute find. The location could not have been better. The unit was in very good condition and they met my disability needs. The check-in was different for us an a little complicated - all automated. The cooktop gave us problems as turning it on and off was way more complicated than it needed to be. The whole unit was on a main power switch that ran all things electric in the unit. An instruction book, more detailed than what was on the door, would have been helpful. If the burner was hot, you could not turn the stove on again. And there was a third layer of a switch you had to hit before you could use it. Not intuitive at all. However, we would definitely stay in this place again. Great value now that we know how to operate things.
