Top hotels in Bergen City Centre
Thon Hotel Orion
My whole stay was excellent. The room was great and very clean. The staff were awesome.....Monica at the front desk was seriously the best person in that role that I have met in my frequent travels. They need to clone her for every hotel :) Sajeda was also great when I checked out.
