Scandic Torget Bergen

Location and staff

Room was tiny and wasn’t cleaned on one of the nights. Breakfast was very busy.

The location was very central to the tourist destinations. The room was spacious by Norwegian standards. Carpet had been removed and replaced with fake wood flooring. The bathroom was also large and very clean and new. There were lots of hooks to hang your stuff. Overall, the furniture looked cheap and was reminiscent of a hostel. The breakfast was plentiful and of good quality. The coffee machine created a bottle neck with line ups as people tried to figure out the buttons, but staff were circulating with huge coffee pots and cheerefully refilled mugs at the table. Good to see that they had noticed a shortcoming and worked to fix it.

The lobby was very small and dark. One gets the feeling that hotels in Bergen don't have to try very hard to sell their rooms to the tourist hordes. Our room looked over an inner courtyard with garbage containers. I guess you could pay more and have a view over the harbour.

Great location overlooking the harbour.

The rooms have been upgraded since I last visited. I found the decor now very cold & very not cosy or inviting as I remember it before. Also the furniture in the room I found was quite useless & pointless. Lots of little shelves but lacking on good practical storage for luggage & clothes. Was not a fan of the room design at all. Sorry

Location was great.

Bedroom was facing an inner courtyard.
