Klosterhagen Hotell

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this hotel. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was nice, but what I loved most was the location. It was close enough that we could walk to everywhere we wanted to go in Bergen, but it was also just a little tucked away in an adorable neighborhood away from the tourist craziness. The walks I took in the evening after dinner around the cute neighborhood are one of my favorite memories of my Norway trip. The staff was very friendly as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Good location and very friendly staff throughout.|Breakfast was very good and a definite highlight.|The lounge area is small but cosy, and it’s nice that you can sit there and enjoy your own drinks.|However, the room had a few issues:|The bathroom was warm, but the bedroom was quite cold|When this was mentioned at reception, we were told “if it doesn’t get any warmer, then that is it”, there was no offer for anyone to check or adjust it|The heater was hidden under a table, making it difficult to see or adjust|The TV is very old|There were numerous holes in the walls|Towels were not changed, only the bath mat|Sadly, there is no lift, we were on the third floor, which could be difficult for some guests|When we asked reception to arrange a taxi, the receptionist said “I’ll try, but I don’t have my glasses”. She did manage in the end, friendly, but a little unusual.|Overall, a mixed experience with good breakfast and location, but the room comfort and maintenance could be improved.

I was looking for a place to stay with more of a local feel and the Klosterhagen fit that bill perfectly. The first thing to note is that the mission of the hotel is to provide training for those re-entering the workforce. The staff are a mix of permanent employees and those in the training program -- everyone we interacted with was so friendly and warm especially Yuno (?), the cool girl working the front desk. Besides the staff, what also made our stay were the complimentary afternoon waffles and their delicious homemade jams. The breakfast spread was also very good and sourced with quality ingredients. My only wish was that be a better protein option for vegetarians rather than the veggie chicken fingers.||We stayed in a twin room on the top floor which was a bit on the small side but still quite comfortable. There was a heat wave in Bergen while we were there and despite there being no AC the breeze from the windows and a small fan was all that was needed. The only real downside for us was the bathroom which was small and cramped as other reviewers have noted. However, we saw this as a tradeoff for staying in an older, historic building. If you’re used to traveling in Europe and Asia you’ll be fine. ||The hotel is in a great hilltop neighborhood with a local feel away from the touristy areas which we loved. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk downhill to the tourist spots. It’s not a steep walk but there is a noticeable grade so those with mobility issues will want to take that into account. We mainly relied on using Bolt scooters to get around and found that to be a better option than walking or taking public transportation.

In the centre of the city of Bergen is the hotel situated, so by foot you can visit the old town. The hotel is very nice, especially for the price. There waffles are delicious. Good coffee and a nice breakfast. And Anne at the helpdesk was very kind and helpful.

Such a cozy, unique hotel. Most things are within a 15 minute walk. The hotel has a nice breakfast and the staff is lovely. It also feels very safe, coming from a group of women traveling together.

We stayed here for three nights in September, and very much enjoyed our stay! Great location - very quiet, and a nice walk down to the centre or along to the park. The staff were lovely and very helpful, and the room was clean & tidy, with everything needed. The breakfast is amazing and has a great spread of options - the bread is particularly good! Highly recommended and would stay again if we are lucky enough to visit Bergen again.

Perfect location for a concert at the USF. The location was great for easy access to the city centre and walking around the city. The room was nice and cosy, perfect for a solo traveller, maybe a bit small if there had been two people though. The floors were a bit noisy, and creaked a a lot, I was slightly concerned about making too much noise for the room below me. But I couldn’t hear enjoying else. Breakfast was nice and available at decent times. Never got too busy. Staff were all helpful and friendly. I did have the room cleaner come in while I was occupied in the bathroom but to be fair I hadn’t put up the do not disturb sign but it was late afternoon at that point so didn’t think it was necessary. Just make sure to use the do not disturb sign when you really don’t want to be bothered. Would definitely stay there again especially if I’m going to another concert at the USF

The staff was wonderful. Friendly, funny, and always quick to find a solution. The breakfast was okay. Why the scrambled eggs were cold in the refrigerator and not kept warm is a mystery. Perhaps a Norwegian specialty that I didn't appreciate. The waffles served with coffee in the afternoon were absolutely wonderful. Our room was too small for the price, and the furnishings weren't very high quality. Unfortunately, both people couldn't sit at the same time. The internet in the room was very shaky and unstable. We were therefore allowed to use the conference room for a conference call. The unstable internet also had a negative impact on the TV. The bathroom was okay. However, there was one small mirror missing, and the short shower screen constantly flooded the bathroom. Two of the four electrical outlets also didn't work. Instead, we were given a power strip at the reception. We still felt comfortable, but the price we paid was unreasonable, even by Norwegian standards. But still, the staff was wonderful.

Beautiful place for its price. The food is good. The rooms are amazing of all the cheap hotels. The cervice is kind, and they can speak English. That small amount do.

I stayed 3 nights in this hotel with my daughter for out first trip in Bergen . Lovely hotel ,very clean . Staff very helpfull and kindless .. Our room was too small for two . No space for the luggage ! But beautiful bathroom . Very difficult for me to sleep 3 windows and 2 blinds curtains only !!!

Decided to go to Bergen with my mum for May bank holiday and found this little restaurant online. Lovely little hotel, very clean with extremely friendly staff. Brekkie was included - typical scandinavian brekkie: salmon, cured meats, muesli, smoothies. Very tasty and great start to the day! The room we had was tiny, literallt space for a double bed, tiny wardrobe and tiny table - but for three days of exploring the city what more do you want? Bathroom on the other hand was suprisingly big! Absolutely beautiful, with wide mirrors and black tiles, great shower! Definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking for nice for decently priced hotel in Bergen

This was my home away from home during a few nights in Bergen during the summer of 2012. I was traveling with two friends and part of the reason we chose this hotel was the availability of a triple room at a reasonable price. Bergen is on the smaller size and easy to walk around. This hotel is located in a quieter area, which seemed more residential. It was a few minutes walk to the harbor, though on return it is an uphill walk. Our room was on the top floor and it had a skylight which provided a ton of natural light. The staff offered to carry our bags up the stairs as there was no elevator/lift. The skylight had a shade so we could block out the light when we were sleeping at night. Compared to the size of the room, the bathroom was massive. I think we could have done with a smaller bathroom and larger sleeping area. The room worked out just fine, but the amount of space dedicated to the bathroom was generous. While I normally don't focus on a hotel's breakfast, it's really impossible not to do so. One of the most unbelievable breakfast displays I have ever encountered. We were sincerely impressed by the choices available each morning. The breakfast room was located on the main floor, just to the right of the reception area. There was a counter with assorted cured meats, fish, pâtés, cheeses, cereals/granola, breads, and jellies, mostly with a Norwegian theme. All of the breakfast items were labeled. Everything was locally sourced. There were also assorted juices and teas available in addition to coffee. The staff did a wonderful job keeping the area well-stocked and clean. Everyone in my group loved the breakfast and thought it was one of the highlights of the hotel. If you go on their website, you can read about the hotel's mission as a work training program for those transitioning back into the workforce. It's wonderful to be able to support such efforts and receive kind service in return. If I return to Bergen, I would stay here again in a minute. I loved being off the beaten path in the city, as it forces you to get out and explore.

Update: I had posted a few days ago that I give this hotel a 4.5 stars (but had to list it with 4). But I've change it to 5 stars because, even though the breakfast isn't stellar (it's actually not that bad; it doesn't help that I don't eat meat or eggs), the extraordinary kindness of the staff and the softness of the sheets and towels more than makes up for this. I definitely recommend this place!!

As everyone notes, there's a terrific breakfast (espresso machine with unlimited shots!), with clean accommodations, if a little on the small side generally. Staff friendly and helpful. Has more of a homey, informal feel than a commercial hotel, and prices are reasonable. Good location, there aren't really any bad locations in Bergen. Downsides: there's free Wi-Fi, but it's terrible. In the evening my speed test showed 387KB/S, and their login system logs you out after a short period of time or when you switch off your device no matter what you try. If you're vegetarian, go look up Pygmalion and eat there while you're in town.

This hotel is close enough to everything without being in the city center. The staff is so friendly and nice and willing to help. They also have a lovely breakfast spread, cured and smoked meats and fish, breads, yogurt and cereal. Also, from 4 pm - 10 pm every night waffles. Which might I add are a lovely snack, not too sweet but just right for when we get back from being out. I have found with all the Scandinavian countries the bathrooms are quite small as well as the bedroom. And last night someone tried to swipe their card and come in my room. Maybe the room numbers need to be better displayed. For me the chrome cast isn't great because I'd rather not stream from my phone but watch what locals do. Overall I am happy. Minus the towel cart that sits at the end of the hall in the open. And this strange bump and rash I got from something unknown at this point. So sensitive skin please be aware. Not sure what it could be at all so I can't blame anything at this point.
