Basic Hotel Bergen

Admittedly, it looks a little shabby from the outside, but this well-priced, 43-room hotel offers surprisingly cosy bedrooms, with gold-and-cappuccino furnishings, comfortable beds, the odd purple chair, and a good location near lots of bars (including one underneath, which makes an upper-floor room a must). A lift covers four floors, with stairs to the fifth. Basic, yes, but a bargain.
