Thon Hotel Rosenkrantz Bergen

This is a large hotel with a big lobby, coffee and tea provided all day. The breakfast buffet was the best we had throughout our travels with extensive and fresh offerings from freshly fried eggs, to multiple fish selections, roasted veggies were a great treat. There were plenty of juice, milk, cereal, yogurt selections. Our room was very nice, the bathroom was accessible which was strange since there were stairs to get to the room but it was spacious. We didn't want room cleaning but every day fresh towels were left. The beds were comfortable and room temperature was good. The hotel location was fine, just a block up from the waterfront in the historic section. We walked everywhere, including from the bus station (from Flam) and to the tram stop (on the way to the airport).

The hotel was very conveniently located, just next to Bryggen and one street back from the waterfront. Breakfast was good and room comfortable.

Thon Hotels seem to be a solid mid-range chain in Norway catering to a mix of tourists and business travelers. This one is in a great location in the historic part of town, on a quiet street one block off of the busy Bryggen waterfront. We sprung for a superior double room, which gave a goodly amount of space and a corner window with peeks at the city and water between other buildings. The room also included some thoughtful efficiencies like coat hooks (surprising how many other hotels don't have these) and a clever pull-out ironing board. The breakfast buffet was good, and included a special section for gluten-free products and even a dedicated gluten-free toaster.

Great location a couple minutes walk away from the heavy foot traffic by the harbor on quiet street! Parking right across from hotel in public garage. Room was comfortable (we had a suite because we had expected to have a third traveler with us). Things were compact typical for city hotel and updated. Good breakfast buffet even by Norway standards which are quite high! Umbrellas for rent in reception area for $2 each and Bergen was the only place we needed them so nice amenity. Excellent service: I forgot a Kindle device and they called to let me know and kept it for four days till we circled back through Bergen on our way to the airport. Pretty sure most hotels I’ve been to wouldn’t go that extra mile to help. I was so grateful.

Sumptuous breakfast. Love the fresh orange juice. Well prepared hot dishes. Nice selection of cheeses. Glad to see gluten free options. Room had mini bar to use as fridge and good coffee pot. Comfortable bed. Good lighting. Excellent help from staff at reception. 24 hr availability of Nespresso coffee was amazing. Also, there was an ice machine -- also amazing for a European hotel.
