Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Bergen

To be honest we didn’t use many of the facilities as we were just in for a day on our way to Oslo. The room was large and comfortable and the hotel is right next to a flybusen (FB50) stop that makes getting to and from the airport very easy. If you want to book, the bus stop is called dreggsallmenningen Staff were really helpful booking us a taxi to the train station in the morning. cost was about 250NOK and took about 10 mins.

The hotel is extremely well located right in the heritage brygge area of Bergen and next to the Brygge museum. My room was comfortable and refurbished. Staff were helpful.

This Radisson Blue hotel was melded into the historic fabric of the Bryggen District. The hotel seems to have fit into building height restrictions so that it did not overwhelm the old structures in front of it, and the modern hotel has gable roofs that fit into the old town. This meant that the hotel has many rooms fitted into steeply sloped gable roofs, including the room we were given. We requested room with a view, and were able to look out into the old town. Overall, the room was nicely furnished, with a comfortable bed, even if the ceiling was oddly shaped because of the roof configuration. The hotel has a small workout room that includes a sauna, which we made use of. Breakfast was not provided in our $200/night room rate, but the buffet that could be purchased was perhaps the best we have found in any hotel. We had drinks in the 26 North Restaurant that is a part of the hotel, but did not eat there. The hotel's location in Bryggen is near many of the more interesting sights in this incredibly beautiful city, including the Floibanen, a funicular railway that runs to the top of Mt. Floyen. It is a short walk over to the terminus of the Bergen light rail system, that serves most of the city, and runs in a double-track line {with frequent service} to the airport. We enjoyed a fjord cruise that departed from a dock directly in front of the hotel. The harbor area in Bergen has many excellent restaurants and bars, including some with live music. The hotel allowed my wife and I leave some of our luggage in a hotel baggage storage room while we made a multi-day side trip. The front desk staff were professional and helpful.

Hotel is in a great location for Bergen in the old historic district. Bars / Restaurants right out the front door. Location is convenient for tourists' sites. Rooms were fine and up to par for large chain hotel rooms. The breakfast buffet was good and had a lot of options (no omelet station though). The front desk staff was friendly and helpful with directions and advice A nice perk is that the airport shuttle bus stops at this hotel and is about a 50-minute trip which makes it very convenient rather than using a very expensive taxi.

From the first arrival at the hotel (very easy with the Airport Bus that stops in front of the hotel), we felt very welcome when checking in. The hotel is in the heart of the city, part of the wooden houses of Bryggen. Rooms are very comfortable, beautiful and quiet. The breakfast must have been the most diverse and complete we ever had, with attention to every possible detail. It was a pleasure staying multiple nights and discovering the beautiful town of Bergen, all at very short distance from the hotel. We stayed in February-March but will definitely return in Summertime another year, to check out the difference!
