The building itself dates back to the early 20th century, adding a historic element to the stay. Express check-in and check-out services facilitate quick arrivals and departures.

The hotel is about 13 kilometers from Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO).

Reviews
Staff offered a refund if we left immediately—but finding alternative accommodation at short notice was not possible, leaving us stuck in unacceptable conditions.
This isn’t just about budget—this is about basic standards of hygiene, safety, and honesty. We were offered €25 as a gesture, which frankly feels like an insult given the state of the place.
Serious warning to young females travelling alone:
This property did not feel secure or appropriately monitored. Communal areas were in a shocking state, and the atmosphere was uncomfortable. I would not recommend this place to any solo female traveller.
Hotels.com should seriously reconsider listing this property. It falls far below even the most forgiving standards. Avoid.
-DOUBLE do not stay here if you are a SOLO FEMALE!!!!
-they let a man sleep in women’s only dorm
-cleaners were in the entire hostel for less than 40 mins, they only stripped the beds and vacuumed one line though the hallway
-creepy regulars (old men, one of them trapped me near the bathroom)
-cleaners asking guests which bed they were staying in to strip the beds
-allocated bed was changed because of this, what allocated beds? 🤣
-kitchen is DISGUSTING
-DRYER DOESNT DRY, be weary of this, don’t do a load of washing and expect your clothes to be dry after using the dryer
-when I reported that there was a man in the women’s dorm they wanted me to call someone else, I stated that they need to call someone else, as it would make me unsafe to call and report this and additionally this is literally their job???
-the place is unclean
-smells bad
-curtains/blinds broken in the dorm
-dorm door does not lock
-I was provided a locker and code and I opened it however someone’s stuff was in there
-shower was COLD
-people hanging around the outside of the hostel, if they know the code they can get straight in and there are no locks on dorm doors
-this place deserves negative stars
-photos attached so that they don’t claim this is a fake review!
DO
NOT
STAY
Shampoo is not installed.
Pros; centrally located, actually quite modern, good and modern bathrooms and of course the price and you Even get a towel!
Cons:
-they use the loudest beds I ever used, everytime you sratch yourself you have to try not to wake up the whole room
-Lockers look like it’s better to just leave your stuff outside, there is no security despite a code on the front door, some lockers are broken and they are very small
-you can’t open the windows (in a Room Full of people it gets really hot and sticky!)
-You either have a bed which is brightened from the outside trough the window or from the emergency exit sign - look at the picture attached, that is how dark it gets, that’s the room with all lights turned off! It’s just so bright, curtains around the bed don’t cost much and would definetly help a lot!
-No place to put your stuff, there are some lockers but they can barely fit a backpack, so you have to put everything on your bed
- the bathrooms are fine, but there are only two. The hostel has about a capacity of 40-50 people, that’s way too few bathrooms for everyone
- it’s just so noisy, the bedrooms are literally next to the kitchen with no isolation whatsoever and even though you can’t open the windows you can hear everything from the street just as if there would be no window at all
Come on, this could actually be a decent cheap Place but somehow they managed to make it bad on purpose
