THON BRYGGE

Nice hotel very comfortable even if expensive. Good situation at less than 5 mn to Briggen by walk. Very good breakfast and bedroom comfortable. An amazing sport room.

Good hotel in heart of Bergen . It is clean . Great breafast , great wifi. No Ac but you can crack the window. Rooms are very small . Beds also small and uncomfortable. They should invest more in beds. We stayed 3 nights , no complains . No parking . You can park in the near parking house.

We had stayed at Thon Hotel Storo in Oslo just before arriving in Bergen. Storo is a modern hotel with spacious rooms, and surprisingly it cost us less than half of what we paid for our stay at Thon Hotel Orion. Naturally, this set our expectations quite high, and unfortunately Orion did not live up to them. We understand that comparing two hotels in different cities is not always entirely fair, and we have no experience with other hotels in Bergen. It may simply reflect the standard or pricing in the city. However, based on our own experience, the difference between the two hotels was significant. The hotel itself felt rather dated, both from the outside and in the guest rooms. With the sofa bed unfolded, the room became extremely cramped. We had already anticipated this to some extent, as several previous guests had mentioned it in their reviews. The biggest concern, however, was the room door. It was very difficult to close properly, and during the night it had opened by itself. We were woken early in the morning by noise and light coming from the corridor. As our six-year-old daughter was sleeping right next to us, this naturally made us feel quite unsafe. We decided not to report it to reception because we did not want to move all of our belongings and change rooms during our short stay. Instead, we placed one of our suitcases against the door for the remainder of our stay. The bathroom was also quite basic, the room lighting was insufficient, and the few power outlets that were available were positioned in rather inconvenient locations. While the breakfast was perfectly acceptable, we felt it offered less variety than the breakfast at Thon Hotel Storo. We also had an unfortunate interaction with one of the Spanish-speaking breakfast staff members, who came across as rather unfriendly. We realise that everyone can have a bad day, but it did leave a negative impression. Finally, this is only a small detail, but we noticed that we received only two complimentary bottles of water upon check-in, even though we were staying as a family of five. At Thon Hotel Storo, each family member received a bottle. It is a small gesture, but these little touches do make guests feel welcome and valued. Overall, we genuinely appreciated the excellent location of the hotel and the convenient parking facilities, but our stay did not meet the expectations we had based on our previous Thon experience. Given our experience, we would probably not recommend Thon Hotel Orion to friends or family visiting Bergen, although we cannot judge how it compares with other hotels in the city.
