Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords
You could do way worse than this simple but proper hotel, which offers a full room range: dorms, singles, doubles and triples, all attractively finished in fjord-blue tones, with touches like bedside tables made from logs and little framed pictures on the walls. It's definitely worth upgrading to the Petite Lofts and Double Plus rooms for the stunning lake views.
Note that some rooms share bathrooms.
There are good evening meals available from 5pm in the restaurant (mains from 189kr).
