Bergen
This little 15-room hotel in the pretty neighbourhood of Nordnes is just the ticket if you're tired of the faceless chains. Rooms are bright, colourful and modern in style, with attractive sells like slate-tiled bathrooms and smart Scandi furniture. There's a pleasant courtyard garden, and you're surrounded by classic Nordnes rowhouses and well-trimmed gardens.
If you're solo, you'll appreciate single bookings being upgraded to double on availability.
