Top choice in Bergen
Two 19th-century houses combined comprise this family-run treasure, still managed by the genuinely welcoming daughters of its long-time owner. Packed with curios and antiques, it's a lovely place to stay – all 35 rooms are slightly different, with unique layouts and surprising design touches; corner rooms in the main house have the best views over Bergen's rooftops and Mt Fløyen.
It's on a quiet residential street at the top of a very steep hill, 1km walk from Torget.
