Skansen Pensjonat

Bergen


This cute-as-a-button, seven-room place has an unbeatable location high up behind the lower funicular station. The house retains a traditional feel, rooms are light and airy (if far from fancy), and the 'balcony room' has one of Bergen's best views. It's on a steep, winding lane, and extremely tricky to find the first time – phone ahead if you're unsure.
