My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in January 2012. In Bergen to attend a funeral. Room OK but walls and paintwork rather scuffed. Bathroom toiletries non-existant - no shampoo for example which is something most hotels provide. Not possible to make coffee/tea in room. Staff very helpful. Good breakfast. However, coming from England the price of everything is quite a shock. I used to live in Norway but the prices are much worse now. Glass of wine £9 and £10 for a lager in the hotel! Food was average and of course very expensive.

Stayed a weekend in September for a conference. The hotels location makes it a good conference hotel, but not particularly good for tourists. Several of the people attending the conference had problems finding the hotel, as it's not clearly signposted.

Check-in was quick and hassle-free and the room was big, modern and clean. We got a room facing away from the parking lots, so it was almost perfectly quiet in the room.

The hotel has free WiFi and free soft-ice (for conference guests only)!

The food in the restaurant is not particularly good, so I would recommend eating somewhere else.

My family and I recently spent a night at the Edvard Grieg, which for us was conveniently located -- it's a few minutes drive away from the Bergen airport (which also means it's not particularly close to Bergen city center). This hotel has many laudable features: the staff were great (even though our reservation had been lost, they were still able to find a room for us), the atrium is impressive, the furniture and decor of the rooms is very high quality, and there is a hutch outside containing guinea pigs that children will love to pet and feed. I should also note that although we had to leave very early in the morning and so missed the breakfast buffet, when we checked out, we were given 'sack breakfasts' to take with us. However, the 'relax room' on the top floor (essentially a spa area with whirlpool, steamroom, exercise equipment, and great views of the surrounding countryside) was unusable - the summer sun pouring in through the windows rendered the entire area uninhabitable (at least for us). Although we were planning to relax in the whirlpool, this was a relatively minor drawback. What was really problematic was that our room was located on the inside, and looked out on the atrium. This meant the room was uncomfortably warm - opening the window did little to cool the room, and worse, the noise from people in the atrium was quite loud (even at 10:30 in the evening). So, we had to try to get to sleep in a hot, noise filled room. Additionally, wireless is not free, which is just plain cheap and annoying. We probably would not return to this hotel again -- although it possesses many great features, the drawbacks we experienced were too significant to ignore.

Hotel was very nice and staff were very friendly. Room was great and well designed. Breakfast is good with organic ingredients. I like it very much. The only disadvantage of the hotel is the location, 20 minutes to city centre.
