HI - Bergen Montana Hostel

Avoid at all cost!
Hot water stopped after five minutes of using, which apparently the water heater was on for the whole day already. Manager told me to wait until the water boiled. I followed the instruction and waited for an hour to get another five minutes. Finally went to disabled toilet miles away. Obivously the manager has received such complains before. absolutely crazy! No apologies received except impassive "sorry."

Nice place
As it is some distance away from downtown Bergen you need to be prepared for a thirty- to forty-five-minute walk or take the Bus. The setting is excellent, you have a nice view over the city. If you are traveling by car you'll get free parking just in front of the hostel. The hostel has a nice kitchen and a social room with TV and books where you easily can meet fellow travelers. I have stayed in a mixed gender dorm room which might not be liked by everyone. Bathrooms and showers are clean. The breakfast is excellent!

A great view, and the morning breakfasts are handy. It's a fair walk from town, but doable without full luggage. Up or down the hill into town, take the number thirty-one bus. The four-bed dormitories are well-equipped and just the right size, the members kitchen is fair (for self-catering, there is a Spar shop fifty meters away), and the hostel is clean, with an internet connection available. You can get Bergen Cards for cheap access to most city attractions, and I'd recommend the kayaking day-trip, Go West!, both available from the helpful reception. The hostel is well situated to get up into the hills, either on foot, or by cable car.

This place is absolutely too far away from the city center, so you can't walk here. At least I wouldn't walk here. That means you have to spend up to about 50 NOK in bus fees every day, which you can add to the price of the hostel. I relocated to a hostel in the center. This place was nice and clean, with a nice staff, but the water in the shower was too hot.

This hostel was very bad because the doors of the barrier were defective, and on the bed was blood!!! The showers were dirty. All in all, I give it one star for the breakfast and two stars for the best view of Bergen.

This was a nice hostel. The dorm is large but of good quality. The place is cheap and a splendid breakfast is included in the price. Only the distance is a bit tricky... better take the bus.

Very nice hostel and setting above the city. Generous breakfast. Take the bus if you aren't ready to climb.
