Hotel's Favourite
Great hotel within easy walk of all the major attractions and right beside the central bus station. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Giselda from Portugal was a joy each morning when she welcomed us for breakfast. Room was a good size and on 11th floor with good views. Heating made the room nice and cosy. Only negative is very poor lighting in the room - bathroom is well lit. Overall highly recommend the Scandic Ornen.

We decided to experience the 17th of May in Bergen this year, and booked a long-weekend stay at Scandic Ornen. It was amazing stay and we loved every single moment we spent in this hotel. The room was spacious,clean, with amazing huge beds that made it difficult to even leave the hotel room 🙂 Every day we spent a quite long time at the breakfast,where we enjoyed the amazing variety of fish, different meats,cheeses, fruits , desserts ,smoothies,freshly baked baguettes etc etc. The staff at the breakfast were super friendly and offering service that many waitresses could learn from them. We loved the decorations in restaurant on 17th may, and of course,the delicious marsipan cake. We will definitely come back!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
this hotel is in a great location, a few minutes walk from t4am stops and the train and bus stations. It’s also a relatively short walk to the harbour and many of the attractions in the city centre.
We liked the open interior where reception was. Gave a feeling of space. Our room wasn’t the largest but perfectly good for a few nights. Bed was comfortable, there was a handy fridge too. Nice view out over the city. Really good soundproofing. We slept well.
Breakfast was excellent with a very wide choice of hot and cold options.
Overall represented excellent value.

Location is great for work trips, with short walks to bus, train and the city rail transport- a 10 minute walk will take you to the city centre.
Rooms are fine, and ok size, but with limited channel selection if one prefer to stay in, watch tv, and relax.
Check in and out works well, and reception staff is friendly and helpful.
BUT... I’m a breakfast person, and when this hotel opened, their breakfast was excellent, and although its quality and presentation fell a bit over time, they managed to bring it back (somewhat). However, having stayed a few times over the last few weeks, it’s now on par with basic hotels in town, and I’ve found myself disappointed every morning. The local delicacies are gone, and the quality of the cold cuts, fish and mayo based salads is low end ( with a few exceptions). On the bright side, there’s a decent choice of healthy options, although nothing very exciting.
At this price point, a hotel have to offer up something that sets it apart from the cheaper competition, and at the moment it’s not their breakfast!

Dear Realtravelasia, Thank you so much for taking the time to give us feedback on your experience. First of all I would like to thank you for the kind words on our front desk staff, and I am glad to hear that you enjoy our location and rooms. However, I am so sorry to hear that you do not find our breakfast that great anymore. I will pass on the comments to the F&B Manager, whom I know is working very hard with his team everyday to make the breakfast experience better. We appreciate your feedback, and I hope to see you back here soon - hopefully with an even better breakfast! Best Regards, Sebastian V. Sætre Front Office Manager.

Everything was great, the staff, our lovely room, the breakfast with full buffet (hot/cold) and with fresh orange juice machine. As a vegan I got full every morning.
We didn't eat at Roast (the hotel restaurant on 13th floor) because of the menu, as a vegan it didn't quite appeal to me. They might have something else to serve, but I didn't`t mind asking as there is so much to choose from in the centre.
The location is good, both regarding all what the city centre has to offer, and also to all of the many hiking routes in the mountains. No need for public transportation.
Parking at Bygarasjen Bergen Storsenter (across the street) is preferred and also the cheapest (I think).
This is absolute a hotel to recommend what ever pleasure: family, holiday, weekend, hiking etc etc.

We spent 4 nights here and have been pleased with the cleanliness and service . We asked for extra pillows and they were brought within
Three minutes. We asked for a kettle for tea and received it quickly. There is a small refrigerator in the room. The breakfast buffet is extensive. You can get soft or hard boiled eggs as well as omelets made to order . There are scrambled and fried eggs available. The amazing seeded breads available with assorted jams are fantastic as is the fruit bar. Many seafood and lunch meats are also on the extensive buffet. The value and quality of this amenity is easily upwards of $25.00 per person.
It is an easy walk from the train and bus station. One can easily walk to the city center and the wharf, and the many nearby restaurants.

This hotel is located right next to the concert hall in Bergen, and very close to both the train station, and the central bus station.
10 minutes walk from the beautiful center of Bergen with stores, the Harbour and even the famous mountain Floyen in Bergen. Perfect for a visit to a beautiful city!

The hotel is ok. Well located for traveling and not too far form the centre (rain permitting), it is your typical Scandic hotel.
Breakfast is good, but when busy they are somewhat slow to bring back things.
Rooms are tiny (man the family room we could barely move in it) with little storage space and silly lighting (no way to have side bed light on only).
Service is poor. Out of 5 nights, they forgot to come ones and twice hey forgot to clean the bathroom and one bed was not proper.
All in all, an ok hotel but not one I would advice or go back.

Service, Cleanliness and Value are rated poor for the following reasons.
The note in the bathroom says if the customer wants to use the towels again, hang them; otherwise, leave them in the basin instead of the floor, which will save back of the cleaning staff. As I didn't want to use the towel again, I didn't hang it but kept all the used towels unfolded on the basin slab. However, when we returned in the night, the towels were not replaced by the cleaning staff and all were kept in the same place as I did. We three in the family were then left with only one fresh towel which is not a standard for a 4 star rated hotel

Dear Ninu2022, Thank you for staying with us here at Scandic Ørnen and for leaving your first feedback here on TripAdvisor. Our important sustainability initiative will give you as a guest the possibility to affect your climate imprint when you stay with us .By discontinuing to clean towels that don’t really need cleaning we will save up to 10 million liters of water and 6,000 liters of cleaning agents. Per year! In addition, we will re-invest all the money saved in new climate-smart initiatives. Of course if you prefer to leave a larger than necessary climate footprint, extra towels are always available upon request from our front office team - just stop by our reception. Once again thank you for your stay. Best Wishes, Scandic Ørnen

We booked 2 rooms for 3 nights and we had a fabulous stay at Scandinavian Ornen.
The room is good size, cosy bed, clean and the bed well made. We also like the heated bathroom floor.
I’ve requested a cake and fruit platter for each room and they accommodate my request (notes - extra charge) but I’m please that they acknowledge my request.
And buffet breakfast was great and well presented.
