My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Bjornefjorden Gjestetun last week and liked it very much. Truthfully, we were a little disappointed when we first arrived. The hotel website had led us to believe that the hotel would have a more secluded and rural setting. In actuality, the hotel is located in an upscale suburb of Bergen. The hotel's grounds are small and are bordered on one side by a fairly major road and on the other by houses. There is no access to the waterfront, although there is a nice view of the fjord. While I had envisioned spending time relaxing at the hotel itself, we did not do this. The good news is that this hotel is not only a short drive to Bergen but is located close to a few ferry lines for exploring the fjords. Our room was very comfortable -- although the beds were located in a loft and the private bathroom was located off a public hallway. You could at times hear the people in the adjacent room, including someone snoring at night. One night there was a large group drinking and partying on the hotel patio, located just outside our room. We waited until 11 pm and then called the front desk to complain. Within seconds the party had been cleared out. The best part of this hotel is the food. We had the prix fixe dinner both nights, and each night it was excellent! The breakfast selection each morning was large, varied and tasty.
