I had a chance to stay in 2 different hotels during my staying in Bergen: Opus XVI and Hotel Norge by Scandic. And I can confirm that Opus XVI has a better room and also service. I’d come back for sure!

Nothing

Very friendly staff. Beautiful historic building and interior. Comfortable rooms.

Parking is a bit complicated.

Breakfast is not buffet but served personally at your table from a great menu….. so civilised from the vulgarity of competing with other guests at a buffet in most other hotels. Historic building with loads of character and the staff are really helpful. Fabulous location in the heart of the city.

Timber floor in the bedroom as I prefer carpet.

Jazz concert on Friday

Long time to wait breakfest orders

perfect location, beautiful old building , great friendly staff, really good breakfast included in the rate, the only negative is that the room was smaller than expected for the price we paid/ otherwise I’d give it 5 stars

size of the room

Amazing hotel centrally placed so that it was easy to get to all of the cities attractions. Breakfast catered for dietary requirements very well. Had a very enjoyable stay.

The safe was locked when I arrived late at night, and was told this could not be fixed until the next morning, the following morning I was taking with me the items to breakfast, however I took them out for the day and was not advised the safe would time out and lock again if I did not set up a combination. I decided to just carry the items with me or lock them in my suitcase which was inconvenient. I would of preferred to use the room safe.

Everything was amazing. The hotel is like a fairytale. The a La carte breakfast is exceptional and you feel so special staying there. Would recommend it to everybody. It’s a once in a lifetime experience.

Absolutely Nothing.

Grand, cozy and comfortable room. Great location near to wharf and shops. Superb ala carte breakfast.

The rooms and reception are a bit dark. No clear sign board to indicate the entrance from outside the hotel. The path leading to the hotel is not luggage friendly. Very bumpy and hard to pull or push luggages

Opus 16 is right in the old town near all the main sights and very quiet and convenient. Staff very friendly. The beds were very comfortable

The restaurant was closed for several days and it was very difficult to book a table. Unusual in a hotel of this standard that guests cannot dine in when wanted. I would also create a simple room service meal option for those who simply want to snack rather than have a gourmet meal. A couple of little issues like the room safe not working and the plug missing in the bathroom sink.

Beautiful building, very central location and really friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast.

Nothing!

The reception staff were especially helpful and friendly

Small details regarding the room preparation. We found a used vanity kit in our room (they did not replace with new one). The toilet paper was rolled in such a way that it looked like the previous guest just left. The shower water temperature was also extremely difficult to control- it was either scalding hot or cold. The new years dinner was nice but did not feel luxurious enough for the price point (the way the buffet was laid out, dinner service).

coziness

brilliant location and amazing breakfast choice

This was our second visit to Bergen (a beautiful city), but our first to the Opus 16 hotel. We stayed for two nights, had breakfast both days and dinner on the first night and it was absolutely excellent. As our stay was in December 2022, the hotel was suitably decorated with a stunning Christmas tree and various ornaments, all done in a very tasteful style to complement the amazing interior of this outstanding hotel. The staff were excellent – friendly, efficient, professional and regularly going “the extra mile“ to provide a great customer experience. A couple of examples would be when we were talking to the waitress at breakfast one morning and we mentioned we were about to take a 3 hour fjord trip which we were looking forward to and she offered to put some pain au chocolate & croissants into a bag for us to take on the tour. The following day, one of her colleagues was touring the corridors early evening with bottles of champagne and strawberries dipped into chocolate to offer to the guests. The food was outstanding in terms of quality, taste, and the variety of options to suit everyone - I won’t be telling his grandchildren, but my partner thoroughly enjoyed his reindeer carpaccio starter! When we write reviews of the places we’ve stayed at, we always like to offer some “constructive criticism“ to help improve the guest experience, but it is a sign of this establishment that my partner and I couldn’t think of anything!! We will definitely be back.

Nothing - everything was superb!

Excellent central location, easy walking within central Bergen and to the galleries. Great breakfast and very comfortable room.

Service at breakfast could be very good, but on two occasions several items arrived at once. Yoghurt with fruit and the full English.

Splendid a la carte breakfast

excellent
