Nice hostel but not downtown

Worked well for me this time but the 18 bed room might be too much for some travelers. Not downtown but the view is spectacular. Staff was kind and helpful.

It’s a hostel

Well it’s a hostel, so don’t expect much in terms of the room. It’s got a bed, a shower, and a toilet- you need to buy towels and bed sheets separately. I’ve been to many hostels and the really good ones, as this claims to be have more privacy for each bunks with even just a thin sheet of wood on the front of the bed so you have your own privacy and can feel more comfortable- deffo does not deserve “best” hostel but it’s decent. I did like the sense of community and connection I could get and o was able to talk to people ( I’m usually very shy)

Very big hostel, fantastic view of the city, the daily coffee and chat event is a great icebreaker. Breakfast buffet was delicious.

Nice hostel. Has many useful facilities: for example guest kitchen, washing machines, luggage storage. It's not in the city center but it's okay because there's a bus stop nearby. Great place for people who want to travel on a budget!

Great place to stay.

The staff are friendly and efficient. Hotels.com doesn't make clear that sheets and pillow cases are not included. If you need them it is extra. Great place we'll definitely stay here again!

I only spent 1 night and got in at 9:30pm. The staff was very polite courteous and informative. The breakfast next morning was sooooo good. Again, the staff is excellent.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in and my roommates all said the same. The staff were all international volunteers and they worked extensively to keep the place exceptionally clean. The breakfast buffet resembled that of a luxury hotel more so than a cheap hostel. It was located at the base of Ulriken which meant it was literally a few steps away from numerous great hiking trails. This meant that it was a ways away from downtown but the bus came every twenty minutes so that was no problem. The view overlooking the city was spectacular and there were always people around to talk to. My only regret is not staying in Bergen longer!

Not that good

My room was downstairs, Dark and with no view. The daily cleaning was ok, but there were old dirt around handles, panels and walls, so it felt dirty. The mattress was very hard. The receptionist s was not kind and showed very little interest in my questions, but the diningroom staf were kind. The mountains was beautiful, but I guess you can not take advantage of that. I changed my stay to two days at arrival, unfortunately, and I still don’t understand why the second day was way more expensive than the first?

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay in Montana and I can see why it was voted as Norway’s best hostel. The highlight for me was the activities organised by the great team of volunteers. I was lucky to be there on a Sunday so joined the hike to Baunehytten - beautiful scenery, lake swimming and coffee and waffles. In terms of practicalities, the hostel is a 20 min bus trip from the bus station (which is very close to the train station). Take bus 12 and you can buy a ticket (49) on board. It is worth buying the 24 hr bus pass if you are likely to do 3 trips in a 24 hr period. The hostel is very clean and extremely it well equipped. The kitchen has everything you would need and there’s a supermarket just along the road - it is closed on Sundays like others in Norway. The breakfast was generous and varied. There is a great sunset viewing area and I recommend going to the 5.30pm coffee/tea and biscuits with the volunteers. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Good value- comfortable and clean

Stayed in the mixed dorm. Slept well. Common area was nice and clean. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Close walk to Bunnpris for other meals and snacks. Exercise room could use sprucing up.
