Good, clean, friendly
Really helpful staff. Clean hostel. Good spacious lockers. As there is not 1 central sitting area and hostel frequented by older Norwegians it takes time to chat with others compared to other countries, good well equipped kitchen.

Marken Gjestehus is a great hostel with a wonderful, welcoming feeling that overtakes you when the elevator door opens into the reception area. It seems as if the hostel is in a residential building of a lot of Norwegian families, but no worries -- the hostel is on its own floor.
The Location
The location can be a bit difficult to find when you don't know the area or don't have a map, however, just ask around and you will definitely find the entrance. The hostel is about fifteen minutes' walking distance from all the main Bergen sights. A cute cobblestoned street is just a few steps away with cute cafes, spots to eat, and a grocery store. On the main drag to the city center, there's even an affordable hot dog stand. The train station is a ten-minute walking trip in the opposite direction of the city center.
Rooms and Bathrooms
As for the large female dorms, although there were a lot of guests, the room is very spacious, leaving ample room for everyone to spread stuff about the room and still not feel closed in. There is even a table for any work that needs to be done, a couch for lounging, lockers for important things, and a private bathroom in the room. In the four-bed dorm, larger lockers line the walls here, but there's no private bath. The bathrooms are now located out in the hallways where both toilets and showers have their own designated doors. Bathrooms are clean and we could find no problems.
Common Spaces
The common spaces are big and welcoming. There's enough seating in the common area to accommodate a large group wanting to mingle and just take a relaxing break. There is only one communal computer to share among the whole hostel, but we did not find that to be a problem. The kitchen is also a great place to take a seat -- with windows overlooking the beautiful Bergen panorama, who wouldn't want to eat some breakfast here? The kitchen is stocked with every appliance you may need to cook a quick meal. In addition, there is a laundry room -- it's quite small, but they do have one and it is accessible to all!
Summary
Overall, this is a great recommendation to Bergen guests. Everything is in walking distance to what you need in the city, you get a comfortable stay, and great staff all rolled into one!

Good hostel
This is a great hostel. It's walking distance from the train station. The dorm had an en suite bathroom and lockers.

Perfect stay right in the center of Bergen
This was by far better than the other hostel I tried during my last trip to Bergen. Conveniently located just a short walk from the railway or bus Station away and pretty Close to everything else in Bergen. Great common room with nice view! I loved the wooden floor! Bright and clean location.

Great, comfortable
One of the most comfortable hostels I've stayed in by far. Good -- Comfortable bed, personal locker, basics like oil & salt provided in the kitchen, books available for guests to read, large comfortable room for 10-bed all female dorm with en suite (love it!). Can be improved -- Staff can be more friendly, another girl in the dorm was issued the same locker as me (security issues!), would be nice if breakfast could be included (considering the price), please provide labels for guests to write their name on & stick on their food, dorm could be cleaned more thoroughly (noticed the floor not cleaned at all).

Simply The Best
This is a very good hostel. It has fully equip kitchen, very close to the train/bus station and not to mention the city centre as well. The supermarket is very close as well and it's very relax too. The room are great and so is the shower too. The view from my room and I believe for every room it has a good view of the outside of Bergen city centre too. It's so good that I decided to stay another night here. Don't go anywhere else. Stay here and you won't regret it! The staff are very great and helpful as well so that's a big plus!

Overall positive!
Staff very nice/helpful. Physical space well laid out, lots of bathrooms. Clean! Kitchen space could be good but needs organization, like shelves for non refrigerator items. Also need effective way of marking food (felt tip on waxy milk containers doesn't work). Good location -- close to train and sights.
