the hotel is located in the heart of the tourist district. plenty of shops and bars near by. friendly staff , clean large rooms. great breakfast spread. most tourist spots within walking distance. relatively cheap airport shuttle bus. would stay here again read more

Service and room were great and the location in the city could not have been more perfect

Good experience overall. A bit expensive in peak season, but so is everything else. The room was very comfortable. Service was pleasant, and no issue holding our luggage for us before check in & after check out. The room rate that included breakfast was hardly any extra, and it included a very good spread that should satisfy any American, English, continental, or Nordic expectation. Although immediately adjacent to the most historic area of the city -- which makes it a great location -- the hotel itself is not historic: so everything is quiet and modern, but the building also has little charm. read more

'Ello chaps! Radisson Blu Royal Hotel is located right in the heart of the tourist district of downtown Bergen. On the end of the Bryggen, Radisson Blu Royal Hotel is well situated. Once known as the SAS Royal Hotel, the property has undergone a transformation over the years. It's a modern, clean, and comfortable hotel. Adding the breakfast onto your package is well worth the price. Food items at the self serve breakfast buffet remains the same day to day, with a hearty amount of options including eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, breads, fish, cheese, etc. It's worth the cost, which is nominal to add on at booking, and saves you a lot of time and money from wandering about town trying to start your day and figuring out what to eat. Even for this typical non breakfast eater, I'm glad I added it. Book early and you'll save more. Overall I give Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Bergen 5 stars out of 5. TIP: They will NOT do early check in. TIP: Many shops including grocery stores are CLOSED ON SUNDAYS. Do some of that souvenir shopping a bit early. read more

This hotel is great! It is located near the water and a short walk to many shops & restaurants. The rooms are nice, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is AMAZING! We had 15 in our family and we were all very happy with this hotel read more

Radisson came through yet again! Kinda wish I would've tried a more local spot or not a chain but it was nice to see something familiar where we were a member. Small clean rooms that are walking distance from just about everything. Heated floors were so so nice. There's No complimentary breakfast and the gym was closed every time I went. Staff were very helpful and nice. Connected restaurant didn't have late night hours for food and is on the fancy side. read more

We are two families with a tradition of staying overnight at hotels in downtown Bergen to celebrate our national holiday May 17th. One of the major ingredients of the celebration is the famous grand breakfast buffet every hotel in Bergen on this day, with tradional dishes, wonderful cakes and a glass of champagne to celebrate the day. It turns out overnight guests at Radisson have B-status and are served an, at best average, breakfast while guests coming in for breakfast only are served in a separate room, beautifully decorated and with all the wonderful dishes traditionally present on a breakfast buffet on such a day. So, be aware if you book this hotel that there might be A-services that you are not receiving as an overnight guest. That in addition to rooms with very different standards, some very nice, some dirty, with drains not working, no coffee, no cupboards and no places to charge your phone near your bed. This is probably the reason guests rate this hotel very differently, depending on which room they got. No one told us when we booked, after carefully checking breakfast was included, that guests would be segregated at breakfast. No one gave us the information checking in, giving us a chance to do anything about it. But it was painfully obvious when we came down, all beautiful dressed in traditional "bunad" dresses or suits, and were shown in a different direction than the other guests. Having breakfast in room without decorations, with none of the traditional breakfast dishes for this day, after having seen the other breakfast room, beautifully decorated and with all the traditional dishes, where we were not allowed to enter, really ruined our celebration. It did not help that we were not allowed to buy the glass of champagne you are normally served to salute the day. Neither were there any possibility for a paying guest, who had no coffee in the room, to have a cup outside the breakfast area without paying for it, standing in line for 15 minutes to get it since there was only one man working the machine. We have never experienced anything like this at any other hotel we have been at, Bergen or elsewhere. Don't risk your vacation or celebration by staying at this hotel. There are so many great hotels to choose from in Bergen. Shame on you for ruining our celebration, Radisson! read more

Hallo Bergen. Stay at this hotel and not the other Radisson Blu. This is right on the harbour and is therefore, nicer because it's close to everything. The harbour is one of the seven UNESCO world heritage sites, Bryggen Harbour, that is. The hotel is next door to the Bryggen museum. For a nice jog or hike, turn left and then pass the Starbucks and you go up and up to the top of the Floyen and there is your workout for the day (Trail runner goes nuts in this city of seven mountains). Restaurants are all nearby and on foot you can reach all the main ones. Big shopping center is across the harbour on the other side and is again, walkable, about 10 short minutes of walk, or about 0.5 miles. Internet speed is excellent. Breakfast is included (if you are of a certain status) so do get your brown cheese (brunost cheese is a caramelised brown Scandinavian whey cheese. It is produced and consumed primarily in Norway, and has been described as "quintessentially Norwegian"), pickled herring and smoked salmon cravings satisfied. In-room coffee is outstanding. Business rooms are a bit bigger but expect this to be of the SF Fairmont hotel size room as it's a retrofitted from a building of this old fishing village. Across the hotel about 30 meters (literately that is across), is the REMA1000 super market. It's very basic. There are not a lot of premade food, one can imagine why Scandinavians are so much more slim than the Brits and Americans. Grab your brunost cheese there to bring home to your friends. Raddison Blu is very popular in Scandinavia, including Iceland. Apparently the first one was set up in 1909 in Minneapolis, MN. Not surprising, consider MN's vast Scandinavia roots. Parking is adjacent and one must pay for parking on its own. Word of advice, don't drive a c class Mercedes, that size of car is going to be hard to get a car park space. And come on off-season. Rate is very reasonable, mid $100/night, wifi is included if you got that status that gets you breakfast included rate, and you are less likely to run into annoying tourists. read more

My sister booked this hotel for free because she had Radisson points. Normally, this hotel costs over $300 a night so we probably wouldn't have stayed here otherwise. After our Norway in a Nutshell tour, we took a cab from the other Radisson Blu by the train station to this hotel. There are two Radisson Blu hotels so make sure you know which one you're going to. The hotel is centrally located in Bergen and walking distance from several restaurants, museums, and tourist attractions. The bed in this hotel was so comfortable! I also loved that the floor in the bathroom was heated. The complimentary continental breakfast was delicious and filling. There was a wide selection of breads, meats, cheeses, fruits, cereal, and juices. The free wifi was also very reliable and just required your last name and room number. There is a bus that leaves from the hotel to the airport every 15 minutes which is convenient. It is 100 NOK per person to ride. read more

If you enjoy looking out your window, directly at a wall of windows across from you... you'll like the view. And if you enjoy sleeping through nightclub music thumping through your mattress and pillow... you'll like sleeping here. Also this place is crowded every night with some sort of convention or event that fills the lobby with drunk people who join arms and sing together at the top of their lungs before crowding into the elevators and falling out on their floor... you'll be entertained by this place. Tiny rooms without the usual niceties you're used to at other Radisson properties, all for $330 USD per night. What a special experience! read more

This was perfect! Bergen is a great city and this hotel is right in the thick of the historic and iconic row of Bryggen. Situated right on the harbor and in walking distance of sights, restaurants and shopping. You're going to be about a 25 min cab ride from the airport and it will run you about $60 USD. The hotel is really modern and sleek inside and my room was a "business class" room with vaulted ceilings and a very Scandinavian feel to it. What is simply amazing about this hotel is the breakfast which is included...OMG! This has to be the most spectacular and largest breakfast buffet at a hotel I've ever experienced. Don't look for standard American staples here...you'll find stations covering every morning craving: bread and butter/jam station, eggs done multiple ways, oatmeal with all the trimmings, tons of local fruit, lots and lots of smoked fish and salmon! Honestly I am astounded that they include this in the hotel fee. For location, feel, amenities and ease I'd definitely recommend it here! read more

Decent chain hotel on the Bergen wharf area, but nothing too special about the place and spartan rooms. Nice breakfast buffet, great front desk and wait service help. read more

Great location, right on the harbor and easy walking around town just outside their door. Staff was very friendly and staying overnight as part of a tour group they had our rooms ready before 3 pm which was wonderful. The room had very comfortable beds, tv didn't work but we were too tired to deal with calling someone. Breakfast buffet was fantastic, especially as an included in our price buffet. So many excellent choices, great presentation and quality. The only down side was the room was too hot. The ac hardly gave out cold air, just slightly cool which made for a stuffy hot night we didn't sleep well. I believe this is the case in most of Europe but be aware if you like to sleep in a cool room that's not going to happen, tried opening window but little air comes in and the sea gulls were so loud the trade off wasn't worth it read more

We pre-paid for a non refundable 3 day stay. Due to Virus we had to change our Viking Cruise till next year. When asked to simply change reservation until next year, they are denying request and are keeping all payment in FULL. Their response to request is shown below. Guess I should have been from another country and I would not have been discriminated against "Unfortunately, despite the virus, we can not cancel the reservation without the penalty. We have instructions to only cancel free of charge for the guest in the areas that are the wort effected. This means China, South-Korea, Iran, Japan and Italy. We apologies..." read more

Me and my girlfriend stayed here back in May of 2014 as I took her to meet my family in Norway and I would say the price is high but it's not lacking in comfort. Our room was large, clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast was well stocked with traditional Norwegian food as well as other foods for people who might not like to eat pickled herring for breakfast. It also has a bus that goes to the airport right at the front door. But the best thing about it is that your dead smack in the middle of Bergen. You can't get any close to the sights and history of it. You roll out of your bed and right onto Bryggen. I had been here before but she truly enjoyed herself. The only bad part about the stay was the construction right outside out window that I swear only started at 7am and lasted until 7.45 and that the shower was tiny. I'm a thin tall guy but I felt like giant. read more

We had a nice two nights here. The room is very clean and the staff is very nice. The location is perfect. There is an airport shuttle that stops at the hotel daily. The floors in the bathroom are heated, which is very nice. The shower door is a bit strange, as it does not keep the water in the shower from soaking the entire bathroom room, so dont put your toiletries on the sink, it all will be wet. read more

It's a pretty nice hotel with beautiful amenities. The rooms are a bit on the smaller size but the beds are amazingly comfortable. Nice heated bathroom floors and shower. It has a bar in the lobby. The breakfast is really good. It also has a fitness center and a sauna at the 6th floor. read more

This was an expensive hotel in a great area. We stayed here after arriving at the train station from the Norway in a Nutshell Tour. It's walking distance from the train station and right around the corner from the picturesque Bryggen area. Wifi is free and a substantial breakfast is included in the rate. The flybussen bus stops right in front of the hotel every 20 minutes to take you to the airport. read more

On our grand tour of Norway's Radisson Blu hotels, the Radisson SAS stands out as one of the best. It feels more posh and up-to-date than the other Radissons we encountered. The location is great. The complimentary breakfast buffet was less messy and maintained a more civilized atmosphere than the others (this is especially so if compared to the Radisson Scandinavia in Oslo). We had a business class room, which was perfect-sized for two adults with two large suit cases. Our room had a very cool vibe, especially the vaulted ceiling. The parking is a little on the expensive side (200 kr/day ~$33) and is under the hotel in a fairly cramped garage. Staff were nice. Wifi was fast. When I booked the hotel, I was charged twice on my credit card, and was only really acknowledged by Radisson after I contacted Amex about the issue, but it did get worked out. Who knows if this is specific to this hotel or a Radisson issue. read more

Great location for the hotel, especially since the airport bus goes right to the door! Close to everything in town too. Friendly staff made the visit even better plus the price of the stay was really good. read more

Room was ok, quite basic but good for the price. Breakfast was actually quite decent. Location was pretty good to visit the city.
