Very centrally located by the harbour, across the road for the airport bus and two minutes walk to Unesco Brygge site. Rather tired atmosphere but reasonable value for Bergen. Recommend Mostrtaumen fjord trip, funicular and 'Around Bergen in 80 minutes' walking tour with Don was fantastic

The Det Hanseatiske was a very nice hotel. The room was like a cozy cabin. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location makes for easy walking to all the local areas. I won't fault the hotel but please beware on Saturday night the music from the club next door can be very loud into the late hours of the night.

The location is fantastic in center city. Our room was so inconveniently located with corridors, stairs and a connecting passage to the rear building that it became humorous. Funny except for the luggage handling over all the obstacles and twists and turns.

the breakfast was very good and the staff were very helpfull. we would stay again if the opportunity arises -- but would be very careful in checking the details of our room location and access.

An absolute gem! Located in the beautiful heart of Bryggen the hotel is quiet, clean and comfortable and packed full of character. Perfectly placed to explore Bergen, all the must do tourist spots are walking distance along with the train station to explore the rest of Norway. The buffet style breakfast is an excellent start to the day with plenty of choice and a wealth of excellent restaurants surround the hotel so you won’t struggle to find somewhere for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book again should we return to Bergen.

This is a quirky older building in the heart of Bryggen so don't expect perfection. The bathroom was new and modern and the bed was comfortable. All of the staff were very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. We were there during a sunny, warm week and so spirits were running high on the street and in the bars. The front desk staff helped with situations that were within their control. However, I believe that the red velvet armchair in our room should be retired. It has lost its charm! 😉

Much recommended for indulging in Bryggen

Perfect location in an historical building(s) turned hôtel at the juncture between Bryggen and the harbour. Great for some indulgence (in our case after 20 days touring Southern Norway), with large bath and comfort fitted in the building. Top notch breakfast too, with high quality ingredients and produce—from the salmon to the fresh bread.

We found the hotel to be unsatisfactory in a few ways. Overall, it was quite dark throughout the interior; specifically in the guestroom, the halls and the dining room at breakfast. Unused hallways are full of what appears to be a mix of discarded materials, furniture not currently being used, and boxed items. We had a room with a double bed which was made up with what appeared to be two twin flat sheets on top of the mattress rather than a double/full sized fitted sheet. Overall, our stay was a disappointment, particularly considering what we paid to stay.

There were many tripping hazards in the hallways and in the room, so would not recommend for the elderly, but it is a historic building. I’d stay here again.

The hotel photos reflect some charm. Unfortunately, that is not the reality for this rather expensive ($651/two nights), but dingy hotel. 1) It is located on a small dead end street with an enormous retaining wall on one side. It rains a lot in Bergen and the street becomes a river in short order. 2) Hotel staff (and there are not many) can best be described as rather bored. When we first checked in no one was at the reception desk. He finally showed up and was uncertain about which room we had. He seemed so laissez faire that I asked to see the room before we hauled the luggage in. The hotel has an elevator, but when he took us to the floor where room was located it also had a rickety narrow open wooden staircase with about 20 stairs that you had to climb to reach your room. He told me people liked the room because it was quiet and had \"original timbers\". I asked to see another room. Unfortunately, it also had steps. I settled for the 3rd room which at least was not difficult to reach. It was dark and the furnishings reminded me of 1930's decor. Not replicas - the originals. 3) There was a small attractive bar on the ground floor, but unfortunately, a bartender never surfaced in the entire time we were there so we were not able to use it. 4) The breakfast was average - served in a drab dining room. I've been traveling in Sweden and Norway for over 40 years and have to say that this hotel may be historic, but it has little else to recommend it.

Lovely, atmospheric interior. We had a beautiful suite. Superb breakfast buffet. Only one issue, though it did annoy us - while we were fine with the rooms being cleaned only every 3rd day, we would expect the coffee pods and toiletries to be replenished daily and the cups and glasses changed. When we pointed this out it was addressed on one day. A cleaner did come in to the room to make the beds, so it would only take an extra minute to do these obvious and normal things.

Quirky & Unique Hotel

A late arrival due to a flight delay saw us given a room which although large and well presented had a large generator directly outside the bedroom window which reduced our sleep to a few hours. When we questioned this at reception the next morning the acceptance of this problem suggested it was a known issue and an alternate room identified and normal sleep was resumed 👌.
The hotel quirky style due to its historical location within Bergen’s old town is difficult to access when viewed against more traditional hotels.
Despite this there are some elements that detract from its overall look. Random furniture stored in hotel corridors and staff coat racks on open view in the central private corridor are two such disappointing examples. A lack of hotel information in the rooms as to hotel facilities is unusual as is being unable to charge bar drinks to your room.
Despite this the hotel staff were attentive and accommodating and the hotel’s location is perfect for exploring such a visually stunning city.

This was a very charming hotel. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated and cozy. It was convenient that we could dine downstairs and have a late delicious dinner when we arrived as well as a late breakfast when we slept in. Checking in was a bit rocky as the parking is tricky but it was great there was an elevator. We suggest pulling in at the end of the drive on the one-way road to bring in your luggage and then park at the recommended parking garage. The staff member in the morning was very very friendly and exceptional and went way out of his way to let us follow him in his car so we could get to the ferry we were taking later. The location by the Bryggen Wharf was just perfect. We enjoyed staying in a historic building. It was a memorable stay and it definitely help make our trip to Norway very memorable.

This unique hotel is located steps from the harbor and history of Bergen. The layout of the rooms in several attached old structures is rambling and quirky, which we liked. Our room was nicely wood paneled but the slope of the floor might not appeal to everyone. A little more shabby than chic right now but the charming rooms and location make your stay a personal experience.
