Bergen Børs Hotel

We had a fantastic time at Bergen Bors. We stayed for 6 nights in July in a Deluxe King Room. It was a corner room on the 6th floor, in the newer part of the building, with 3 huge windows, two of which looked out onto the square by the hotel. We didn't hear any noise at all during our stay, either from outside or from neighbouring rooms. Our room was large, very clean and well appointed. Some reviews have critised the power points being low down, and they were like that in this room, but a power socket tower was also in the room, on the desk, so we didn't need to get on our hands and knees. Other critical reviews have mentioned the rooms being very hot. Our room came with two fans, only one of which we needed, despite us being in Bergen during a heatwave, with outside temperatures close to 30 degrees. The staff, without exception, were friendly, helpful and smiling. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfast was amazing, as was the cocktail bar BARE, the outside terrace bar, and the next-door Spanish beer bar. The location of the hotel is perfect - just a few minutes walk from Brygge harbour, the Hanseatic warehouses, the funicular train and the numerous boats that take you on day trips to the various fjords. We did three fjord trips during our stay - each unique and wonderful. The hotel building itself is stunning, and can be spotted from all over the city, with it's distincitve green copper roof. We had the best time in Bergen, and at Bergen Bors Hotel, and we didn't want to leave.

Rooms have good space and are clean. Beds are on the softer side, which suits me. Toiletries are provided. Everyone is helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet is excellent! Within walking distance to the harbor, restaurants and shopping.

We stayed 3 nights and will happily return. The room was large, airy and comfortable. The staff is amazing. The breakfast was fabulous - and served in a large hall that is incredibly memorable and will stay with you. The location of the property is beyond amazing. With everything a short walk away. Including a laundromat. Yes, parking is an issue as it’s 300 meters away and could perhaps be organised differently by the hotel. But all in all our stay was wonderful we would highly recommend this property

Location is amazing as well as the breakfast (5 stars!). Our room was dark and not very functional. There are no drawers and the writing desk is puny. The wardrobe contained 4 hangers. Furniture is cheaply made, but the bed is amazing. The bathroom was spectacular but the towel rack is so low the towels hang on the floor. There is no counter space or cabinets for personal items in the bathroom. It is a spacious bathroom but not functional at all. There was very little space for luggage in the room. Overpriced.

The Bergen Bors is a newer hotel in an historic building in the heart of Old Bergen- its central location teems with restaurants, pubs shops, and historic areas within a few minutes walk. The exterior is a spectacular 19th century edifice. The lobby and most public spaces are basic contemporary decor - until you get to the rich dark wood of the BARE wine bar and opulence of the Frescohallen. The bell, front deck, housekeeping and restaurant staff were warm, professional and helpful. Our room was a small single king with a small bath. The decor was light monochrome , a few pieces of varied artwork including a large convex mirror, dark furniture, desk and chair and armoire. It had a safe ( that was not bolted down), a refer, espresso machine and tea kettle. The water and wine glasses are glass and china coffee cups. The tv was a medium sized flat screen with mostly Norwegian channels ( this is Norway after all) with one BBC channel, and a collection of movies and streaming. Maybe a little more variety. Lighting was good, but there was a dearth of outlets- those that were there were in odd locations. The bed, linens and pillows were very good. The bathroom had a heated tile floor, walk in shower with very good towels and toiletries. We had dinner in the BARE wine bar- interesting selections, tasty and well served by two very harried, bartenders/servers. The included buffet breakfast was excellent in variety and quality ( hot food was hot, cold food was cold) and regularly refreshed. There may be noisier and quieter sides of the hotel- our west side ( we think) room got "serenaded" every night between 1:00am and 3:00 am as the clubs let out. The hotel history book indicated it was opened in 2017- we would suggest that it is past time to install new carpets or deep clean the existing ones throughout the hotel. In our experience this was a very good pre cruise hotel as might be expected of a 5 star house.

Nice hotel but wouldn't extend the check out by even one hour without a charge of 200 kroner. I never heard of this before and I stayed in so many hotels. Usually hotels are accommodating but it looks like they are taking advantage of passengers taking the Hurtigruten boat that leaves late and charge those who wish to keep their rooms a little bit longer. We actually checked in closer to 8pm the night before and wouldn't be allowed a late check out without an extra charge. The breakfast/lunch/dinner hall is beautiful. Breakfast was really good but dinner was very disappointing. I would recommend the covered fish market instead.

Book this hotel, just to experience their breakfast! Its an experience of it own- good quality, breakfast buffet in a elegant setting. It was a treat every morning. The staff all around were professional, kind and super helpful! 👌 and the rooms spacious and comfortable. Comfortable beds. bathtub was my highlight. Adorable and big enough!

Wonderful stay. Great central location. Hotel has heritage architecture and history. Close to harbor, restaurants, tourist spots. Hotel rooms are clean, comfortable, cozy. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful, food & cocktails were delicious. Breakfast buffet especially is lavish with lot of options. I will def come back. Highly recommend

Staying at this hotel is a noise lottery. They have not soundproofed the room from outside noises, and so many rooms face the streets or public square. So it was noisy until 2-3am in the morning, unable to sleep. The rest of the hotel is good. Rooms, breakfast, etc. The location is perfect. But a noisy room and a bad nights sleep, that's the basics. Unfortunately, they were full that night, so we couldn't move rooms. Reception was proactive to offer a move the following night, to a room facing the inner courtyard. Which was much more quieter. So the second night was at least good. When we complained, it looks like there is no management to speak to. No manager on duty on the weekend. On weekdays, not available at 10am, nor at 3:45pm. Reception also won't take down our phone number to pass to the manager, only gave us the general email address for the hotel, to email in. For a hotel at this end of the quality scale, the lack of managerial service is shocking. And for a hotel in the middle of the city, the lack of soundproofing is shocking. Unless you can guarantee an inner courtyard room when booking, I would not recommend this hotel. Also, as I can see they have alot of cruise guests staying, I can see why management don't really care about individual guest bookings and their satisfaction. If you want to play sleep lottery, or can sleep like the dead at night, book here. Otherwise, there are many other choices in Bergen.

Our one regret with this elegant, old-school hotel was not being able to stay more than one quick night here. Them's were the breaks as we were on the express version of the Norway in a Nutshell tour package. Bergen was a charming city and more manageable than Oslo to explore, but because transport through the fjords was time-consuming, Jamie W. and I just had a half-day in Bergen. That wasn't a nutshell experience, it was a nutcracker if you know what I mean. Good thing this hotel was such a visual delight as it was the city's old stock exchange building a couple of centuries back. It was transformed into a neo-Renaissance style with nice contemporary changes. Our Standard Double room was simple and comfortable. The going rate was about $160 per night. More importantly, it was centrally located right across the street from the fish market and down the street from Bryggen. Sadly, because we had an early morning train, we had to miss out on the breakfast buffet as the hotel has a Michelin starred restaurant (Bare). The front desk staff was very good though, as they had a takeout bag prepared for us and coordinated our luggage pickup. Hopefully we'll have a longer stay next time. RELATED - Exploring Norway?

Single older lady traveling by myself so first impression was a dark bar with low ceiling but.. was greeted with enthusiasm and the white fish and roasted cabbage dish was amazing. Bare Natural is a find in Bergen and the hotel was perfect.

Lovely boutique hotel, very comfortable room and bathroom, excellent service, good breakfast, amazing central location. Only complaint is that the lobby / common areas are **heavily** fragranced, which is an unfortunate trend as all fragrance is neurotoxic. I feel bad for the staff (who were lovely). That's the only reason I wouldn't consider staying here again, though.

This Bergen Bors is centrally located and only minutes from the wharf and fish market. The room is modest but the hotel makes up for it with a staff that is incredibly friendly and helpful and a pretty killer breakfast. There are a few convenience stores nearby and several great restaurants. It is easily within walking distance to the Fløibanen that takes you up to Fløyen for an incredible view of the city.
