Marken Guesthouse Bergen

Very conveniently located - 200 meters from the main transport terminals, rippled with the tourist sites of Old Bergen. Clean, very friendly staff, there is a possibility to cook your own food in a small shared kitchen. Of the non-Gatian, only one thing: if you arrived by your own car, then there is nowhere to put it next to the hotel.  But for backpackers - the place is just perfect!

Beds are very cheap, aka squeaky and wobbly, worse than your typical hostel bed. There were no outlets by any of the beds in the room I stayed in. Showers were good but bathroom right next to lounge, slightly awkward because everyone can hear you. Kitchen was a mess, I walked in and then right out. Reception has limited hours and are not the most friendly staff. There is luggage storage and the location is decent.

Nice hostel, perfectly located. Was staying in 10 bed room. Room is huge, view from the window is fantastic and it was nice and clean. There is also a kitchen and a dining area. The only minor issue I had is that was a bit cold in the room. As I said, the room is huge and there is only one heater. I guess the room temperature is ok to Norwegians, but for visitors outside Norway and Scandinavian countries, I don't think that is comfortable room temperature.

Great hostel located steps from the city centre. Staff are very friendly. Rooms are clean. It's a mix of families, young backpackers and seasoned travellers. Not loud and rowdy - quite a calm environment when I was there, though everyone was friendly still!
