Sandviken Hotels near Bergen

"I only had 24 hours in Bergen as a stop on my trip, so valued proximity to the things I wanted to see. This hotel was exactly what I needed! It was a short walk from the market, fløibanen, shopping, and general sites in Bergen I wanted to explore. I was able to take a bus to/from the airport, but otherwise could walk to anything else I was interested in from the hotel. I was a little nervous about leaving my luggage in the closet since staff gave an access card for guests to manage it themselves, but I quickly learned there's a different level of trust in the Nordic countries that I wasn't used to. The room was clean, had a fan (great bonus in summer!), was quiet, and had anything I needed. The design was fun, but the decor did give me a bit of a visual headache (which I am prone to). That was the only downside, though. The breakfast was lovely and had a great variety as a send off in the morning. I appreciated my stay here and the convenience of its location for sure!"

"Great place to stay in Bergen and get around to all the things."

"I took a taxi from the airport, which I thought was a sanctioned taxi service.. I asked before I got in if they accept credit cards which 95% of the companies in Bergen do but when the driver got to the hotel, I gave him my credit card and it was declined.. I gave him another credit card and it was declined.. I gave him a third credit card and it was declined so he asked for cash… I looked up to see what the charges should be based on Uber and it was $50. He told me the charges were $90 and he needed cash.. I said let’s go into the hotel and see what we can figure out… this man took my pack with credit cards, passport and cash.. when I refuse to pay him this way.. it turned into a brawl because I grabbed my backpack from this man as he’s trying to exit the Hotel and I had to get them to call the police..Sage witnessed this at the front desk and spoke to the police . The police offered to file a report against this man who is an immigrant from Eritrea/Ethiopia… I did not want to press charges because it was just a waste of time, but please do not take an unofficial sanction Taxi service, which is Bergen Taxi… they also have Uber… do not get it in any taxi at this airport unless you know where they come from!!"

"It was nice to be able to get on and off the Havila Voyages cruise ship nearby. To get to Bergen Airport, I went to the stop, which was only two minutes away, twice to wait for the B50 and B51 buses, but they never came. So I gave up and went to Bybanen in the central area. They don't accept cash, so I paid 25kr with a credit card. The ride to the airport was about 40-45 minutes. I got my tax refund at the book shop, which I used to get my credit card (they don't give cash). There was no money exchange. I think I'll have to go to the US and exchange it for US dollars."
