Stayed at Vanguard Altona in Bergen. The location is decent, though it’s not exactly walkable from the train station unless you’re comfortable with a longer walk—otherwise, taxis can add up.
As with most Airbnbs, the stay is fully self-service. However, there are quite a lot of instructions, and they can be a bit confusing. It took three of us some time to understand how to enter the building and collect the key cards for the room. The process could definitely be made simpler.
The room itself was spacious, clean, and well-kept, with all the necessary amenities provided. That said, the heating was a major drawback. Despite the radiators being on, the room temperature stayed around 20–21°C and did not warm up properly, which made the stay uncomfortable, especially in colder weather.
On the positive side, once outside, there are nice walkable areas nearby, including the sea, places to eat, and the ferry terminal (foyer) close by if you’re booking tours.
Overall, the property is well-maintained and nicely located, but clearer instructions and better heating maintenance would significantly improve the experience.

Great rooms (though check in had some small issues). the room was spacious + had full kitchen facilities which was amazing.
Sofa bed looked super comfy too (even better than the double bed)
Laundry and dryer was free during our stay. There was also a gym + extra toilet in the basement

decent wifi for gaming

Location is ok 5-10min from city centre

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.

01.12.2025 Janice

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 had a terrible experience with this hotel. Due to a serious family emergency — my mother being admitted to the ICU — I contacted the hotel to explain that I couldn’t travel and kindly requested to cancel or modify my reservation. Instead of showing any understanding or compassion, the staff were completely unhelpful and refused to assist in any way.

I understand that policies exist, but in exceptional circumstances like this, I expected at least empathy and basic human decency. This experience has left me deeply disappointed, and I would not recommend this property to anyone who values respectful and humane treatment.

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 🙂

29.10.2025 Hayley

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.

23.10.2025 Davis

Wonderful spot to stay! Room was spacious and had all the amenities for a comfortable stay! Kitchen and coffee machine were great for some stay at home meals. Check in process was easy on the app or with the machine in the lobby. 10/10 would stay here again.

20.10.2025 John

Great place to stay in the center of Bergen. This is a basic, but well-maintained and clean/comfortable room to stay in. It requires a bit of patience to figure things out, with this being a largely unstaffed hotel. Once you get the hang of it, it's really great. It's close to the fish market, main square and shopping area. Will definitely come back!

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
