Since it is a hostel please don't expect anything great. The only positive thing about this place is that the location is great, right in the city center. Other then that everything else was OK, but I personally didn't find the staff very helpful/friendly (by staff i mean the only person that was at the reception when i checked in)... More

I slept in a 30+ bed dorm, and had expected it to be noisy. But it was nice and quiet, very clean, showers were ok. The common area is supercool, although WiFi has its ups and downs... the kitchen's great and the staff are all right. You can'tbeat the location. More

Stayed for 1 night in their biggest dorm with 32 bunk beds as all other rooms were booked out and paid the same amount as what we'd paid for Boutique Hotels in cities like Budapest or Prague. Nevertheless good value for Bergen - can't beat the location. Free parking on weekends 100m up the road, free wifi, comfy beds, linen... More

We were two families of 3 adults and 5 children who stayed one night in two four-bed rooms. The rooms were nice and clean and we especially loved the roof terrace which had an amazing view! The standard was good for a hostel but quite expensive even by Norwegian standards! The location was great, within walking distance of everything in... More

Bergen YMCA is perfectly central. It is only a few minutes away from the central station and the fish market is practically next door, only a few steps will lead you there. This means you can get very fast to Bryggen and to the funicular, to countless restaurants and shops. The rooms are just okay, nothing special, but there is... More

The YMCA is in a fantastic location. The staff is helpful and the facilities are clean. If you are traveling solo and book a room in a bunk room just remember that the bunk rooms are coed. You cannot beat it for the price and location in Bergen. More

A great hostel, very centrally located and within walking distance of major attractions within Bergen. Rooms are modern but fastidiously clean and the welcome in reception is warm and the staff helpful. A great base for a weekend break or longer stay in Norway - we ventured to Voss for sea kayaking in the fjords and on to Flam which... More

I went to the hostal with a group of students from my school as part of a Comenius meeting. We weren't the only ones, there were a total of 70 of us for that visit. The hostal staff were helpful and easy to talk with. Its rooms are clean and generous, They don't have any luxuries but then, it is... More

I stayed at YMCA for a night. I had no booking, so I was happy to know that they had spare rooms. The check in was really fast and they provided us with clean bed sheets free of charge. The room had it's own bathroom and little kitchen, both of which were clean.. Also, the hostel is offering free wifi.... More

We had 3 people in four person room and were by ourselves for the first two nights. The room had it's own bathroom and kitchenette, and a window overlooking the roof terrace. the bathroom was quite large, but prone to flooding. The location was excellent for sightseeing and wandering to restaurants and cafes. The staff were helpful without being exceptional.... More
