The hotel has low standard and the food in the restaurant has institution touch. But all this is completely to live with since you mostly live here when you are for treatment in the hospital. What one cannot live with is a staff that seems to hate their job, lacks compassion and that it costs a lot to squeeze out a smile. I experienced relatives who were not allowed to come with their sick in and sit with those in the restaurant because they were not to eat themselves ⚡ Thinking Haukeland Hotell should train its employees on general courtesy and remind them that it is a service profession they have chosen.

Nothing wrong with the room (if it is a bit old and needs painting on the windowsill) Welcoming staff. But the breakfast was a disappointment. The dinner and lunch are WAY EXPENSIVE and bad. Rather go to the hospital's cafe, decent price and good food. Since there are long-term patients there, it should be homely with advent stars in the window when it's Christmas, it was weird stuff! The hotel is important because of the tunnel to the hospital, and the prices are far too steep compared to other hotels with a really good breakfast and a better place to sit.

The staff at the reception are service minded and pleasant, but unfortunately that doesn't help. Poor organization and access to recreational areas inside and outside the hotel. Narrow and bad bed, small shower. The food selection is special, and you should be there early if you don't want to fuss about refilling the day's selection. For paying guests, the quality of the food does not match what you get.

Boring and small dinner portion. No experience with salmon, rice and dry salad for NOK 289.- for us. Breakfast completely ordinary, lunch more varied and actually good the two days I ate there. Poor cleaning both in the room and in the lift/common area. Stayed 5 nights and the floor was not vacuumed / washed in that time. Good beds and airy room.

The hotel is good. But I find it disappointing that so few people spit their hands before going to the dining room. Here the hotel must make the grip I think. Because, after all, there are patients and relatives who are there, then it is okay to show some consideration.
Hope the hotel takes hold.

I was impressed when I saw the place from the station: it sits up on the side of the big northern mountain ridge. No, wait, that's the HOSPITAL! It's a hospital's hotel, for patients and families. It didn't say that anywhere on the website I found. Anyway, it's about a 10-minute walk from the bus stop -- a mostly pleasant walk. But the good thing was BIG rooms. A sofa, large bathroom... space to spread out in. I stayed for three days and really liked it. The best square foot-for-$ value I got in 8 European rooms! At $70, a steal in Bergen.
It's the most expensive city I've ever been to and I live in Japan!

This hotel, I have to say far exceeded my expectations from reading other people reviews. It is one of the cheapest hotels you will find in Bergen. A little bit of a walk, and yes, it is pretty much all uphill, but we are young so the walking was not an issue. A little hard to find since it is about 3-4 kilometres from the bus/train stations but the people are overwhelmingly friendly and it wasn't a problem at all to ask strangers we walked by where the hospital is since it is located right beside. Some of them even asked us if we needed help looking for something which really came in handy.
The hotel is right beside a few graveyards which I thought was calming and peaceful because I am morbid like that. You are surrounded by the Bergen mountains so it's a very scenic area filled with lots of photo opportunities in my opinion. Many old buildings, rustic architecture and walls to keep your eyes busy.
The hotel staff were absolutely incredible, went way above and beyond. Helped me figure out bus and train routes/schedules since we were off to Odda the next day. I really could not thank her enough. They speak English very well in Bergen so it was a very fluid conversation.
They have a decent and well priced snack/sandwich bar that is open the whole time so that was a plus, especially after the walk and a seven hour train ride from Oslo. Wifi is only available in the main lobby which was a little nuisance, but more of a "first world problem." I like how your floor has a balcony at the end of the hallway so you don't have to walk down the stairs or take the elevator if you want to smoke. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. You could open the windows which made it cool and airy. Very comfortable beds and warm blankets.
The crown jewel of this place is the breakfast. Absolutely incredible, wonderful selection and the food all tasted great. Definitely made the hotel totally worth the travel to get to it.
All in all, I think this hotel is wonderful and I would have no problems staying a few nights in it again.

Quite spooky to spend a night at the hospital but once you get beyond that this is not a bad deal.
Bergen hotels tend to be super pricey. Norwegian standards for hotels is rather average compared with American hotels.
Here is my bottom line advice: if you have problems in terms of mobility, and if you can not afford a cab to go back and forth from the hotel to the city, then stay in a hotel downtown.
You have to take a bus to go downtown.
THe bus stop is behind the train station: you will see absolutely no sign as to how to get there. You better be in good health without heavy luggage if you want to go up a steep but short hill up to the bus stop. I keep harping on this as I am thinking of folks who are worn out and have 2-80lbs luggages each.
Transportation is rather cheap. The ride by bus is less than 15 minutes. Once you get there, you stll have to walk about 1/2 mile to the hotel. It is slightly uphill.
We enjoyed staying away from the city: the hotel area is super quiet.
We could not find the hotel after we got off at the bus stop so we flagged off an Ambulance [ YEP, we were really desperate ] and they gave us a ride. Imagine arriving at the hotel check in in an ambulance! Kidding aside, the Nordics folks are amazingly nice.
The price, booked last minute, was half of what hotels were asking for downtown.
TV sucks but we were not in the room to worry about that.
The room itself was roomy. The mattresses are thin: same in most hotels where we stayed in Norway.
Double Bed = 2 single beds that you will need to move side by side to make a larger bed. Both beds are on rollers: just like in hospitals.
Breakfast was free and does the job: definitely not a healthy hospital meal! *smile*
No Internet access in the rooms but again we were in Bergen to be outdoors.
Bergen is a great city to start your Norwegian dream vacation. Spend at most, and I mean at most, 2 days in the city itself. Spend the rest in the outdoors along the coast. Skip Oslo if you had to choose between Oslo and Bergen.

Was recommended this hotel by the ER team at the hospital. I arrived and was told they were fully booked, I was quite upset due to an ill relative and the hotel pulled out all of the stops to get me a room. The staff were very helpful and friendly, keen to make sure I was ok and offering me cups of tea etc.
Room itself was basic but adequate. Breakfast was included and had all the basics ( although fish, hot dogs and meatballs is not my usual choice...they had all of the normal breakfast items too). The hotel had free wifi, armchairs and coffee area in lobby and the cafe served meals buffet style at a very reasonable cost for norway. There was also a small shop at reception for essentials.
Is in haukeland university hospital grounds. - within 5 minutes walk. The local bus 2 stops near the hotel (5 mins walk) and was only about 10 minutes to the city centre.
Staff were really friendly and helpful, so I would definitely recommend this hotel for this reason.

It's true that the Haukeland Hotel - which as other reviewers have said is a hospital guesthouse which also accepts foreign tourists - isn't going to be anyone's first choice of a place to stay in Bergen. That said, if you can't find anywhere in Bergen, you could do an awful lot worse than stay at the Haukeland.
You have to take a bus from the city centre to get here, but they are frequent and drop you off within a 5-10 minute walk of the hotel. The area itself is a quiet, attractive suburb and the back rooms (some of which have balconies) have lovely views over the surrounding hills. Although the hotel caters mainly to Norwegians, all staff speak good English and are helpful. The rooms are plain but comfortable - my single room had a bed and a nice sofa, plus fridge, TV and a desk.
But the real star of this hotel is the breakfast - Norwegian hotel breakfasts tend to be great but this was exceptional! An amazing spread of several diferent types of cheese, bread, crackers, meat, fruit, eggs, yogurt......! What's more, they even leave out plastic bags and greaseproof paper so you can take some sandwiches and fruit for lunch. Not to be sniffed at, given how amazingly expensive Norway is!
I booked through Fjord Tours (though the receptionist did not ask for my Fjord Pass) and paid NOK 1520 for two nights in a single room. While that would be considered ridiculously expensive in just about every other country in Europe, in Norway, and particularly in very touristed Bergen, it is actually quite a reasonable rate.
In short, while the Haukeland obviously doesn't have the convenience or atmosphere of a city centre hotel, it's really not a bad place to stay if everywhere is booked out. This is not uncommon in Bergen - I booked 3 weeks in advance for a two night stay in August, and had difficulty finding a place - so if you want a reasonably priced place to stay in the city centre, my advice has to be to book well in advance during the summer months.
