Bergen YMCA Hostel Reviews

Really one of the best hostels i've ever stayed in. Couldn't ask for a better location, just a couple of minute's walk from all the main attractions in the city. Our room was very clean, as were the sheets they provided. Very well-stocked kitchen too, and a nice dining area.

It is a really nice hostel, situated really centric and with a very nice staff. The most important thing is that it provides a lot of activities, like a guided tour for free around bergen. The room was excellent, with ensuite bathroom and with a lot of facilities within the room.

Great location..

I told them my arriving would be late time, I don't know reception close early time. But hostell's staff mail and call me again and again, so I can enter the hostell, thank you very much. Staff was very kind, I want to stay here again.

I feel such a shame to write this review coz i've done a mistake in reservation. I arrived at hotel at 27th sep instead of oct. But the hotel staff was really kind and helpful, I still got a bed and I really wanna to say thank you !!

Spent only one night there right after a fjord tour, but it looks a very good hostel... I had a very late check-in, and considering the reception close at 9pm, they sent me emails informing everything I need to do. I also met really nice people in this place. I would definetely go back there some day.

Very well run hostel! Sheets and lockers are for free - something unusual in Scandinavia. The 32-bedroom reminds a bit on an orphanage, but people are still trying to be quiet at night. The late check- in via codes works pretty well. some of the staff members could be a bit friendlier tough.

I have no complain about the Hostel, it is great place to stay, location is excellent close to fish market and main station and information point. Staff is very friendly plus the organisation is amazing. Very warm rooms in winter and stunning cooking facilities.

The hostel is almost perfect, except that the shower is a bit annoying - after pressing a button the water comes out and runs for about 20 seconds, and then one needs to press the button again to get the water. So you have to press the button from time to time during the shower.

Good hostel. 6 person dorm was quite small, but fine. Beds, bathroom and kitchen were good as well, nothing to complain about. A bit disappointing was that there were no working computers, but go to the University library in the centre and you have free internet in the entrance hall anyway :-).

I have never stayed at a hostel this close to the city center. (well, its actually ioin the middle of the city center). its nice and clean and safe.

Nice place, good location. I had no problems with it.

heating system switches on and off according to some unknown schedule, reception does not seem to be capable of handling it. in other respects a nice hostel

Thanks to the staff in helping me anyway to get my jacket from the post office. Kind Regards, Lim Shook Kiem

Fantastic location near Bryggen and the hill where you get a view of the city. Basic dorm rooms, nice to find a hostel with a kitchen. I was due to arrive after reception had closed for the evening, so the booking and payment procedure became a little protracted - it went smoothly enough, but would have been a hassle if I didn't have regular access to internet to book, find out I needed to pay in advance, pay, enquire about the late check-in procedure, get confirmation email and so on.

There are a few hostels in Bergen and everyhtinh in the city is expensive. So YMCA hostel was a good average, the location was excellent (but the directions to get there a bit confused as I arrived during the night was an issue). The hostel was good in the average, with some facilities, but as the low season the sent me an email with codes, what to do and asking to pay in advance because I wouldnt meet anyone there due to theirs schedules in the winter, I thought it weird and confused, but ok!

Buena atencion de personal de recepcion. Seguro, muy bien ubicado en la ciudad..

The kitchen was very old and small for the hostel capacity - you could hardly move when cooking at dinner time because it was crowded and there was just one stove working - the kitchen furniture is very very old and not enought for everybody -

Well this hostel was in a good location but unfortunatly i got bed bugs here, i told the staff an the swear it was a 1st.... maybe its just me but i think people need to know as bed bugs are not good an stay with you for a long time after.

during our stay a post on the board mentioned last few days there were suitcase stolen, therefore we are not comfortable for the security
