First Hotel Marin is one street back from the waterfront in the old town"Bryggen" which is the World Heritagre listed section of the city. Norway is an EXTREMELY expensive country so while it seems dear by Australian standards, it's fairly "run of the mill" in price.

We booked this hotel in expectation of the usual high levels of Scandinavian standards of decor and service. Sadly, we were bitterly disappointed. The good points: our room was on the 4th floor and directly overlooked the harbour. It was a large room which was warm and there was little noise from adjoining rooms. The breakfast was very good with... More

Can't get any closer to all the good stuff; museums, Bryggen, restaurants everything right here, even train station is close. Breakfast is very good and staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and spacious. Good value for Norway!

On the positive side: a good location and a varied breasfast. On the negative side: fairly old interiors; my floor and room smelled to cigarettes; I had to go through a set of stairs to get to the elevator, which is not very convenient when you have heavy luggage; my bed was small; I arrived on a Sunday late in...

We stayed 2 nights as part of a Hurtigruten package and so was chosen for us. It is situated just off the Bryggen (quay) near the old part of Bergen and within easy reach of the many tourist attractions, shops, restaurants, bars and the Tourist Office. Following Trip Adviser comments, we requested a room on a higher floor and were... More

This hotel stands out for being located next to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen, right in the city center and across the road from the fish market. Location wise, it really can't get any better. We stayed in the rooftop suite and had some great views over the bay. The suite was L-shaped and very spacious. There are... More
