Quality Hotel™ Edvard Grieg

You better to have a good GPS to find it, since it is implanted in a newly developed area, with thus the advantage not to be disturbed by plane traffic nuisance. We booked a 35 sq m family room (3rd floor) which appeared to be the room for disabled persons. It was a large one, thought there are few caveats along with it. For instance, the bathroom had no facilities to hang or to deposit towels and toiletries, which is very inconvenient with 3 persons per room. The double bed was very comfortable though (as often in Norway with the two single-duvet style), as well the extra bed for our 6 feet 5 inc son ! Given that the sofa was not used for the extra person, we were therefore a bit packed with beds, sofa, and other furnitures (table and armchair). Still, we were only passing here, and staying for sleeping : it's an airport hotel, not a resort ! The window view from the 3rd floor was ok (facing the green valley), despite on the parking side (but who really cares when staying nearby an airport). When parking at ground level is full (which is often the case), then there is an extra basement parking, but it requires extra trolley transportation via the associated conference center and its lobby, then to the hall elevator to access the room. Better to unload stuff from your car at the front, and then park the car below (even safer since people are really badly parked with trolleys attached). Overall, the architecture with open indoor hall is very nice and sunny, generating much warm welcoming light in the lobby. There was a collection of book to consult in the restaurant area. There is also a spot for the family autoportrait picture ! The staff at reception was very friendly and helpful. There is a very nice and cosy room for kids (which we did not used, our son being not any more in need of these facilities). Wireless (now more needed by our son) was excellent. An important part of the night at such an hotel is the breakfast buffet. There was plenty of space, though the staff who unclean tables is very closed to the tables (at two extremities of the breakfast space) which generates unnecessary and perturbing noise when sorting plates and dishes. Effort are done to encourage client not to waste food, which is a very nice care, especially when herds of kids fill plates at buffet, and then drop not-consumed food. Finally, our sporting son enjoyed the fitness facilities at the top with a beautiful overview on the woods around. In the end, it's an interesting, quiet hotel option (with view outside) closed to the airport after visiting the busy Bergen city center (some distance away though). Given that the hotel is also a conference center, the quietness feature of this review might be altered when there are attendees (but likely in the day when the hotel room are empty). The ballroom is somehow spectacular for a meeting (a personal opinion as PCO, ie Professional Congress Organizer). That is the type of destination I will likely have in mind whether I had to organize a meeting close to an Airport in Norway. (with great one-day visits in the fjords and the city center).

As soon as you see it, you can just say : Woow. Modern, big, 3 elevators, lounge bar, gym, terrace , great view from room. Food great , I was a bit dissapointed there was no salmon at breakfast ??!! Rooms could be a bit cleaner, we found some stuff on the floor from someone before us. They should think about getting a more staff maybe. Wifi free . They do not take cash at all.

This is a modern hotel which is economical and located close to the airport. Unfortunately we stayed on an unusually hot day and the hotel is not built for that as it has no A/C and limited ventilation. The breakfast buffet was ample and varied.

The hotel is close to the airport. We had 2 rooms for 2 families with kids. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are excellent. The breakfast that was included is a FULL breakfast with a lot of choices. The location is around a 10 minute drive from the center of the city. Hotel staff is very courteous and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

We wanted a hotel near the airport because after flying 3 days and 4 planes, I knew we would just want to collapse. This hotel was perfect. We had a superior room which is actually a suite, as the sitting room is separate from the sleeping area. It has a fridge too. We had plenty of space. Loved the ingenious way of connecting the two room with a revolving door with the tv mounted on it so you could watch tv in whichever room you were in. The heated floor in the bathroom is a special touch too. Common areas were spacious with nice areas with free coffee and tea all day long. Breakfast buffet was amazing, with so many choices and all of them good. Staff were welcoming and helpful. I can't think of anything that we did not like. It was the best start to our first visit to Norway.
