Steens Hotell

Bergen


Originally built as a private house in the 1890s, this period place has lashings of historical interest, from original stained-glass windows to a curving staircase that winds up to the top floor. Rooms aren't quite as impressive; they're plain in style, but top-floor ones have a pleasant view. Best of all, it has parking.
