Clarion Collection® Hotel Havnekontoret

Loistava hotelli Bergenin keskustassa. Mainio henkilökunta ja oikein mukava huone. Tykkäsin aamiaisesta ja illan seisova pöytä on minusta myös hieno homma. Kolmas visiittini tässä hotellissa ja palaan taatusti takaisin, kun olevan seuraavan kerran Bergenissä.

A superb hotel with great service and placement by the brygge. Both the breakfast and evening food was good, rooms where clean and very central in town. We walked straight down to the brygge, Fløibanen and the aquarium.

Great location in the heart of Bergen - Highly recommended. We booked a family room for 4 persons - but it was quite small and tight. With 2 double beds in the room there wasn’t space for much else. So I’d suggest 2 rooms if you are 4 persons. The shower over the bath was a real pain - and water gushed over the floor during usage (room 325) - the hotel is probably due a refurb. The covid breakfast setup didn’t make sense, and there were long queues every day. I think other hotels have better systems with pre-plated breakfasts and pre-served cereals. Many tables at breakfast were marked as ‘do not use’ to help with distancing - but as soon as it got busy, the signs were removed by staff. The afternoon FIKA / Sweets are still advertised in the hotel lobby and on the web - but in reality are cancelled. Cleaning is only on checkout... Evening meals are still in place - food was good, but the portions were quite small.

So nice to have a timeout at the Harbor Office. Warm welcome and conversations with the ladies at the reception. Sat in the lobby with a beer and some paperwork in the afternoon when a man came in and played on the grand piano for an hour. Afterwards I got access to the bell tower and got to see the Bergen and Bryggen area from a whole new angle. So beautiful :)

This is a very good business hotel for the busy traveler. Beds are good, staff is kind and service minded and finally, dinner is included in the price.. The hotel is placed in the more quiet part of the harbor area, which is an advantage special in the summer.
