Great rooms, great location in the center of the city, outstanding breakfast with all Norwegian specialties, including brown cheese, blackcurrant jam, salmon, porridge. Always cold water. and croissants available in the lobby. Came during warmest part of the year, so was a little warm in the rooms without air conditioner with just open window

Scandic Byparken is in a great location and it was very easy to find and to get to the center of Bergen. The only reason I'm not giving more stars is that the pictures for the Family Room for four had a double and 2 single beds which I assumed was standard for these rooms and when we arrived we had a double bed and a sofa bed which my two teenagers weren't very impressed with. Luckily it was very warm so one teenager slept on top of the their duvet on the floor. I should have asked to change rooms at the time, but everyone had already started unpacking so I didn't.

Friendly staff, fantastic breakfast. Only concern was room door locks… unique to Norway.. should be instructions in room on how to use… need to scan your card against lock when leaving… came back one day to fund my door wide open… Convenient location… would stay here again.

Unfortunately my son booked this hotel where he got a bad experience. He arrived at 10PM after a long trip from Oslo so he could not remember the room number. The lady who was charge of checking in yelled at him. Then later she accused him of running away. I did not like they took advanced of him because he is a younger man and he was alone. If I could ask for a refund I would love it. Please avoid this hotel if you are traveling alone. I was worry of my son’s safety after she accused of running away. Running away from what?

It’s fine, wouldn’t stay longer than a few days

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty. The locations decent for the price. However there was quite a bit of miscommunication about room cleaning. The hotel is good in that they are eco friendly and do not waste resources by cleaning every day but we requested a clean and never got it. Then when we asked for them to clean, someone came and folded our bedspreads but did not sweep or empty trash or give us new towels. When requested new towels we got some though. The rooms are very basic and small but have everything you need, and again, the desk staff is very kind and helpful.

Staff was very accommodating and provided two more pillow and a sheet. Room was too hot and we had no way to cool it. Sleeping with a quilt on was too hot but just a sheet was perfect. The location was ideal being near the harbor and many tourist attractions. The breakfast buffet had everything we could want. Thank you!
