Quality Hotel Edvard Grieg

The hotel was conveniently located less than a 5 minute drive to the airport, but very far from the city center. The rooms were modern, comfortable and spacious for a European hotel, and a very nice breakfast is included with the room. If you are seeking convenience to the airport this is a perfect choice, as we stayed here during our last night in Norway prior to a morning flight out of Bergen. However, I would not stay here for visiting Bergen more generally, as it is quite far from the city center and would be expensive. The restaurant in the hotel had excellent service and good food, but was quite overpriced. All in all this was great for convenience to the airport and I definitely recommend it for same.

This hotel is quite convenient for early morning and late night flights as it's only 10mins away from the airport by cab. To commute to the city you can take the tram which is 10mins walk from the hotel. However it takes 40mins to travel to the city. We stayed there for 3 nights in a super deluxe room, it was spacious and clean but the only demerit was it didn't have a coffee machine. To top it on you need to pay extra for towels and toiletries which is a bit funny if they are calling it a super deluxe room you would expect the basic amenities. We chose this hotel only because it was close to the airport. Staff was warm and friendly and overall the hotel was beautiful with a nice view of the hills from our room.

Nice hotel but isolated location. Built to serve oil field service companies, but since downturn & layoffs, now serves mostly group tours. I counted 9 coaches the night I was there – European and Asian tour groups. Room was fine – basic Scandinavian design. Fast wifi. It’s about 15 minute walk uphill from Sandslivegen Bybanen station, which is just below Statoil. Good exercise without luggage, but would be difficult with luggage. Can get to Bergen city center via 10 minute downhill walk to Sandslivegen Bybanen station, then 40-45 minutes to end of line at city center. Airport is in opposite direction, but much closer – only about 15 minutes. Taxi to airport was 215 NOK.

We stayed here the night before we were to catch an early flight the following day from Oslo. The room was great as was the check-in process. No complaints at all. What bothered us was the under-staffed restaurant which was our only dining option since we did not have a car or wish to hire another taxi. One waiter seemed to be serving the entire restaurant which meant we waited over 25 minutes for our meal after waiting 10-15 minutes to be seated and given menus. The food was okay but not special. The hotel advertises it is 5 minutes from the airport but you have to take a cab whose fare starts at $15.00 so the 5 minute cab ride costs over $20.00 US for the 5 minute ride. Just a head's up to factor into one's budget. We thought there would be a free shuttle to the airport but there certainly isn't on the weekends, would recommend checking to see if there is a shuttle during the week.

We enjoyed total freedom to be away sightseeing, driving to explore the different regions around Bergen, engaging in activities which we could take part in and return to the hotel which we felt was always welcoming.
