Stayed one night at the Hotel Holberg during a holiday stay in Bergen. The hotel is a three star and not to expensive for norwegian hotels. The quality of the hotel though is very good and gives very good value for your money. The rooms isn't big, but are newly refurbished so they have good quality. A nice thouch is the flatscreen TV from Sony. The breakfast is also very good, all ecological food and a good variety of choice. Nothing negative to say about the staff either. All in all i recommend everyone that wants a good value hotel with nice breakfast a stay at the Holberg!

I am currently in the lobby of the the Holberg writing this. Stayed here for three nights and my overall impressions are positive. Prepaid for my stay so I saved a few dollars, plus the hotel is located opposite the harbour/Bryggen, which also probably explains why its more affordable. The "not so good": The only thing not so good about this hotel is its location. It's about 1 kilometre (little bit more than half a mile) from the train station which is actually still very walkable. My train arrived into Bergen at about 11pm, and I walked, in the dead of night, in near sub zero temperatures, and managed to make it to the hotel in 20mins by foot. Also, the toilet in my room was a bit peculiar. Not having a bathtub is fine but the shower is strong enough and the floor un-elevated enough that you might find water spilling out into the main room. The Good: Everything else! I got a room with a separate little living space. I also had a view of a quiet alley, LCD TV, wifi, tea, coffee, and microwave facilities all day. Breakfast was similar to my other experience in Oslo at the Boerspaarken. Wide selection of hot and cold foods, enough to satisfy the hungriest of people! Staff were friendly and reasonable - my train is at 11pm this evening at I just checked out of my room (3pm vs noon). Everything considered, two thumbs up! Location Tip: out of the station, look for the road "Marken", that is just across the street - you can't miss it. Walk down all the walk and it becomes a main thoroughfare. You'll be on Strandgaten in 30 secs, and after that just head all the way straight till you reach traffice lights, then veer a bit left to a pedestrianized street and the Holberg is another 3 mins away

I enjoyed my stay here and it was cheap in comparison to a lot of Bergen. The rooms are small but very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are again small, but very functional. The location is excellent, only a short walk from the centre of Bergen (which is small). In summary, the hotel is extremely comfortable and worth a stay. They offer free coffee and water throughout your stay and whilst this doesn't seem much, try buying a coffee in Bergen and see how much it costs!! Overall a good stay and well done the Comfort Hotel.

Holberg is located in central Bergen - near Nykirken, a short (5-10 minute) walk from Torgalmenningen and the Fish Market. The hotel is situated near what will have to be described as the "red light district" of Bergen - but don't let that bother you too much, chances are you won't even notice this. We had a standard twin / double room. Our room seemed somewhat dated, and it was a bit on the small side - the bathroom is particularly tiny. The sink / mirror is placed in a corner of the main room, instead of in the toilet / shower room (some of the rooms have tiny bathtubs) - and oddly enough, when you switch on the light in the bathroom the light by the sink in the bedroom is *also* turned on - which can be rather annoying at night...:op Our bedroom was clean, but the bathroom could use a good scrub. The maids also forgot to clean our room one morning. (!) The beds were rather narrow, but there was a good-sized work desk, and a table / small sofa. Amenities included a TV (with a good selection of channels), a trouser press, hair dryer and a minibar. A nice buffet breakfast is included in most room rates (75 NOK per person if not included, well worth that price). A very good selection of bread, rolls, crispbread and crackers, cold meats and cheese (and some local specialties, such as brunost - brown cheese), cereals, yoghurt, fruit... some hot food (sausages, eggs, beans) is also available. Free coffee and tea available in the reception area all day. A double room at Hotel Holberg usually costs from ca 650 NOK (not including breakfast). Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel - the connection is fast and reliable, but you have to get an access code (which only lasts 8 hours) from the reception to get online. There's also a computer available in the reception area. You'll usually find the best deals on the hotel's own website. We booked through their website, and decided to stay an additional night. We asked the receptionist if we could extend the reservation, and was told that "sure, no problem" - but when we checked out, the rate for the last night had increased from 650 NOK to 900 NOK, and we were told that "internet reservations could not be extended". I was not impressed.
