The hotel has a great location overlooking the harbor with super comfortable beds, but we had a minor inconvenience with cash-only bus fare. The rooms are a bit dark and small but overall good, and the service was excellent. The dining experience offered a variety of hot and cold items, and the facilities were satisfactory.

My stay at Clarion Admiral was a mixed experience. The rooms, although with a good bathroom, lacked proper ventilation, making it hard to sleep and unload things easily. On the bright side, the view of the lake and old town was delightful.

The location at Clarion Admiral is the best part, opposite Bryggen and close to the Floyen funicular. It's a comfy stay for a few days, with the property being in front of Bryggen, a world heritage site, and also near the airport.

My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms, although not offering a nice view, were fairly small yet incredibly lovely and cozy. There wasn't much space to work in the room, but the compact size was actually quite charming. The bed was a bit tiny, making it a challenge to move around. Despite that, I found myself more drawn to enjoying the view outside than staying indoors.

The hotel is located directly across the harbor from the colorful buildings that represent Bergen, offering a fabulous view and a short walk from the airport bus stop. The rooms are small but nicely decorated with colors, mirrors, and glasses to minimize the size limitation. The service was particularly helpful, warm, and friendly, accommodating special requests. The dining experience, while with a spectacular view over the harbor, could improve its options and timing. The location is a major plus due to its proximity to the heart of the city center and the lovely old part of Bergen.

The Clarion Admiral is a gem with its cozy rooms, exceptional service, and unbeatable location near the port and station. The unique charm of the hotel shines through, though the worn-down building and limited operating hours of the lobby bar are minor drawbacks.

Rooms

9.0

I loved my room at the Clarion Admiral; it was so cozy and had heated floors in the bathroom. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the size was just right, much larger than a Hurtigruten cabin. Plus, being close to the port and within walking distance from the station and airport bus made it super convenient.

Service

8.0

The service at the Clarion Admiral was top-notch. I appreciated the complimentary tea and coffee in the foyer and the kettle in the room. The staff was not only helpful but also very friendly, courteous, and competent. However, it was a bit disappointing that they refused to notify me by phone when the room was ready, and the lobby bar's limited hours and the worn-down building took away some charm.

Location

10.0

The location of the Clarion Admiral is unbeatable. I enjoyed standing on the balcony, admiring the beauty of the wharf day and night. It's a short walk to the Fish Market, the airport tram, and the train station—truly the best part of this hotel. Being right across from Bryggen in a quieter area but still within a 10-minute walk to the main tourist spots was just perfect.

The facilities at the Clarion Admiral were excellent. The hotel provided all the necessary services such as room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and even a welcome drink. However, it would have been better if the lobby bar had longer hours for guests to enjoy.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were well designed, and the bathroom was great. The fantastic breakfast was a highlight, although the room could have benefited from a slightly smaller bathroom to allow more room for the bed.
