stayed 2 nights in citybox hotel. Good: Near the bus terminal, train station, almost a straight road ahead when you walk out from the train station. just a few blocks next to the museum. but need to walk for at least 15-20 minutes to Bryggen. in fact, bergen is not big, you can walk to most of the spot on...

Ok, so myself and my boyfriend stayed here initially for 2 nights in a double room wth ensuite and then had a night near the end of our trip in a twin room with shared bathroom facilities. The experiences of these 2 stays were vastly different. The hostel itself was decent, central and appeared clean, although could do with a... More

went with family, for 2 nights stay, in March 2012. the family room was OK. good view since it is on a main corner and on 5th Floor. hotel location excellent as it is very near to the Sentrum, Railway station, Bryggen, Tram terminus, Floibanen and nearly all the bus stops. More

Stayed in Citybox in October 2011 for a night. We just needed a place to sleep over after clubbing in Bergen. We are a group of 2 couples. We took 2 double rooms. Checking in late was kinda cool and easy using their machine. There was no private toilet (as expected on a low budget hotel) but it was not... More

Centrally-located, yes--which is nice. Clean? No. Cheaper than nearby hotels? Not by much. Free WiFi? When it works--which isn't often (and that held true across four different wireless devices). The "TV Lounge" has no TV. Don't expect soap, hangers, or even cheap flatware in the kitchenette unit. Loud, poorly insulated, smoky, dim, cold...yuck! More

We were only in Bergen for a night and arrived really late. The CityBox was booked over the Internet based on price, locality and the ability to get there really late and do 'self check in' (something that sounded pretty interesting). The room was big, with a high ceiling and it was clean. The 'self check in' was interesting, an... More

I don't understand why this place is getting bad reviews. It's really quite alright. It's really close to the township, in a safe area, close to the bus station and the room was clean which is really all I'm after. The self check in is fantastic as it avoids human contact. The self locking rooms are also a bonus. A... More

The location is better than the price.Actually this horribly expensive compared with the value. My youth hostel during the university was cleaner than this " hotel", but anyway i would never call it a hotel. The magnet cards does not work.The idea is good to have an accomodation without staff to reduce the price but then i do not understand... More

I stayed at the City Box for one night last week. It was a "family room" that accommodates 4 people. My first fear was of the automated check-in procedure, but that went without a hitch. The key is having a credit card with a PIN number (uncommon for Americans). My other fear was of reports that key cards did not... More
