Home Hotel Bryggen

Breakfast, afternoon waffles, and a light dinner included in the rate, saving a small fortune in one of Europe's most expensive cities.

Three meals a day, included in the rate. Breakfast, afternoon waffles with coffee, and a light evening meal. In a country where a basic restaurant dinner for two runs 600-800 NOK, this is the single most important thing about Home Hotel Bryggen. The dinner is soup, salad, and one hot dish, not a feast, but it's filling and saves money.

The location is excellent. Rosenkrantzgaten sits one street back from the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf, close enough to walk to the Fish Market or the Fløibanen funicular in two minutes, far enough to dodge the worst of the harbor noise. The airport bus stops a short walk away.

Standard rooms are small, and rooms on lower floors facing the courtyard or street can feel dark. Book a high floor facing the harbor. Those rooms look out over the Bryggen rooftops toward the water, and they're a completely different experience from the budget-tier courtyard view. 

Bathrooms feel a bit dated. Housekeeping during shorter stays can be light. Air conditioning is weak or absent, which matters during summer heat, not that there´s much of that in Bergen. 


Book a Superior or Deluxe room on a high floor facing the harbor (Vågen). The view over the Bryggen rooftops is worth the upgrade and a world apart from the dark courtyard rooms.

Neighbourhood vibe


One street back from the Bryggen wharf. Tourist attractions are literally at the door, but the street itself is quieter than the main harborfront.

A 1920s neoclassical stone building at the centre of Bryggen. Originally Bergen's harbour master's office. The rooms are comfortable chain-hotel standard (this is a Strawberry hotel). What sets it apart is the meal deal. Breakfast, afternoon meal with waffles or pancakes, and a light evening meal are all included in the room rate.

A beautifully converted 1862 stock exchange at the absolute dead center of Bergen, with one of Norway's best hotel breakfast rooms. Pinstriped wallpaper, herringbone parquet, houndstooth upholstery. Details that nod to the financiers who once worked these floors without hitting you over the head.
0.3km Insider pick
A family-owned boutique hotel with real heritage, exceptional beds, and one of Norway's best hotel breakfasts, right in the centre of Bergen. A small exhibition about the composer's life sits on the lower level. Live piano at breakfast.
