Just returned from a trip to Norway.
Arrived in Bergen at 29.06. by plane and booked the Sandviken Brygge by a local
operator for as low as 625.-- NOK B&B, a real good fare.
The hotel is located in a former industrial area, now rebuilt with new appartments, the most negative thing, a large and noisy building site nearby. Quiet at night.
A bus stop is about 100 meters from the hotel, high frequency, no long time to wait there,
most important is that the bus stop is named in the Gaiatrafikk.no system as Munkebotten but when I will wait till Munkebotten I was never arrived till now.
On the station timetables it is called Sandviken Torget, no station announcement in the bus.
The hotel and the room itself is modern designed, positive, I like it.
The staff was real friendly, at check-in and during the day, also positive.
When I think about that the hotel was only opened around one year ago, in my opinion the room was not in the best conditions, clean ok, but with scratches, I cant close the window and mentioned it late, only shower and a curtain, that means you flood the bathroom when you take a shower.
Breakfast was available from 7.00 am, I leave for the train to Oslo at 06.00 am so no comment to breakfast, I had a muffin and a water, ok for me so early in the morning.

The hotel is brand new in an ultra modern style. We got a room that was tiny with semi-transparent shades, so it was light in the morning. The room was so small that there was no room for a bedside table. But the lighting was really good! We complained and got a much larger room the next night. It had a big bathroom and dark curtains, but the lighting was poor. The room had a sitting area with a couch, but it was dark at night.

The big problem (July 2005) was construction next door. They are building a high-rise building, and it was really loud starting at 7 a.m., even on the far side of the hotel. There was also a strange foghorn sound at night from outside.

The free breakfasts were good, and the menu for dinner was quite eclectic and reasonably priced.

The hotel is a good 20-30 minute walk to the tourist area (about 2 km), but they do offer free parking.
