Citybox Bergen Hotel has a great location – close to the train station and surrounded by plenty of dining options. However, it’s very much a budget hotel with minimal services. Check-in is fully self-service, and staff are rarely around. The soundproofing is poor; from the second floor, you can hear people talking downstairs as well as nearby party music. Rooms are not cleaned during the stay, tight shower space, and there are no floor mats (which I learned is common in Norway). Overall, it’s convenient and affordable, but expect a no-frills experience.
