Frommer's Review
This hotel is a bit staid and not for the party crowd, but it's an enduring favorite. Located near the harbor, it has long been a base for young people from nearby districts. It's operated by the Bondeungdomslaget i Bergen, an association that sponsors cultural and folklore programs, and school and civic groups sometimes reserve nearly all the rooms. The five-story hotel was built at the turn of the 19th century and renovated in stages, most recently in 2006, with an additional all-new 30 rooms scheduled for completion in early 2007. Ongoing refurbishments, as needed, have kept the hotel looking young. Lars Kinsarvik, an internationally known designer, created some of the furniture displayed in the public areas during the late 19th century. The small, simple guest rooms are immaculate, with good beds and tiny bathrooms equipped with tub/showers.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
