Guest Reviews
- Marianne (10/5): - Perfekt service!
- Wendy (10/5): Gorgeous - Beautiful 3 bedroomed apartment in a perfect position close to the old town.
- Shelly (10/5): - This is a perfectly located property to easily walk to Bryggen, the Floibanen and food/shopping. Very clean and quiet neighborhood. There’s a grocery just down the quaint alley.
The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Bedding was comfortable, washer/dryer was helpful, the quaint kitchen is well layed out with what you need, ability to play music in the living room.
Would definitely stay again!
- Kevin (10/5): Great Place - Great place with an amazing view of Historical Church. In a quiet neighborhood with a local feel and an easy 5min walk to the Harbor. Good space with 9 and 12 yr old, each having their own room.
- Craig (10/5): - Just as in the photos.
- David Knudsen (10/5): The Perfect Spot - The Kling Apartment is equipped with everything we might want. The living area and porch were perfect for relaxing after a long day of walking. Quiet and comfortable. Restaurant suggestions provided were spot on; I think we enjoyed at least four of them. The location is up and away from the hubbub in the major tourist area.
- John David (10/5): - Spot on for a brief stay in Bergen
- Leslie (10/5): - Clear and prompt arrival instructions which is very much appreciated. Property was slightly smaller than pics make it look but it was just right for 3 of us. This apartment was beautiful and quaint, situated just behind Bryggen, making easy access to all the fun stuff! The view from the living room overlooks St Mary’s Church and was delightful to look at while having morning tea in the little courtyard. I would highly recommend this place. Super cute and made mom happy:)
- heiko (10/5): - Süße, kleine und liebevoll eingerichtete Wohnung in Bergen.
- Wendy (10/5): - Host is very hospitable and detailed! Lisa noticed I have a baby and offered a cot. She even brought a gate for the stairs the next day! Highly recommend!
- Bjørn Espen (10/5): - Koselig leilighet. Bratte, litt skumle trapper. Fant ingen peis som var omtalt i beskrivelsen, men ellers var beskrivelsen av leiligheten god.
- Janet (10/5): - Very narrow stairs
- Heidi (10/5): Flott hus nært bryggen og sentrum - Vi hadde et flott opphold. Det var rent, pent og ligger både sentral ift. bryggen/sentrum og i et rolig område. Kan anbefales, men ikke for handikappede da huset består av 3 etasjer med mange trapper.
- Kristine (10/5): - Fantastisk sted og vert er lett tilgjengelig!
- Jennifer (10/5): - Book it! We stayed in the Keliven unit. It was more space than our family of four needed, and the location can’t be beat. It was an easy walk to everything we wanted to tour, or to a train stop (even for our six year old’s short legs). The unit is very clean, the beds/bedding are comfortable, there are thoughtful touches throughout for guests, plus there’s a washer/dryer combo in the unit! You can tell that the owners have done their upmost to provide an enjoyable stay for their guests. The location is in the historic area, and it’s full of charm. I highly recommend staying here! Loved it!!
- Ina Charlotte (10/5): - Supertrivelig leilighet midt i smørøyet!
- Johan (10/5): - Very nice place at a superb location.
- phillip (8/5): Convenient and Cozy - Property was clean and cozy. Location to everything in Bergen is perfect for walks to just about anywhere. Plenty of restaurants and conveniences needed for traveling. Only negative was the neighbors which isn’t the responsibility of the property owner. If you’re a light sleeper such as myself it may be a problem for you. If that’s not you it’s great.
- Eric (10/5): - We all love our stay at To Sostre and Bergen and hope to return some day!
- Christian (10/5): Séjour excellent près de Bryggen - Appartement très bien situé dans endroit calme proche de Bryggen, belle décoration, espace commun très agréable, belle vue de la cuisine et de la terrasse
- Christoph (10/5): - Perfect for a family of 4 who wanted to explore the city of Bergen.
- Karin (8/5): - Nice place close to attractions. Place had 2 bedrooms, one with bunk bed, and a very small kitchen, but nice to have washer and dryer.
- Amber (10/5): - In the heart of the historic Bryggen neighborhood and close to busses, grocery, and delicious kebabs. Also enjoyed the property- space was very clean and comfortable and appreciated access to laundry.
- Lisa (6/5): - I really loved the space, location, convenience, and the owners are so friendly. Unfortunately the noise from the neighbors partying on both Saturday and Sunday made it difficult for me to sleep
- vicky (10/5): - Compact but accommodating
Had a cosy atmosphere nice views and all mod cons.
- Karel (10/5): - This is an amazing property owned and managed by an amazing couple.
The property is great for families with kids. It's located in very nice residential area within minutes away from city centre and all attractions.
If we ever return to Bergen, we will definitely stay here again.
- Oliver Robert (10/5): - Great apartment in a perfect location
- Stian (10/5): - Super plass for familie
- Christian (10/5): Anbefales - Perfekt beliggenhet i meget sjarmerende trehus. Rent og pent
- Andreas (8/5): Hyggelig opphold på to søstre - Leiligheten var delikat og praktisk. Vi hadde et fint opphold, og kan gjerne tenke oss å komme tilbake. Litt minus var det at det ikke gikk an å åpne vinduet på et av soverommene fordi håndtaket var ødelagt. Dette var det ikke opplyst om på forhånd. I tillegg var det kun en av fire spotter på badet som virket.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Molto caratteristica e in perfetta zona per muoversi a piedi. consigliatissima
- Harry (10/5): Stor flott leilighet sentralt i Bergen - Verten møtte oss og viste leilighet, god service. Stor flott leilighet, stort bad, 3 soverom med god plass. Det er et eldre hus, derfor må ein være forberedt på å gå litt i trapper. Er egen trapp frå stue opp til 3 soverom i topp etasje. Sofaen kunne vært litt meir behagelig, men ellers heilt topp. Alt ein trenger på kjøkkenet. Fin utsikt, og veldig sentralt. Parkeringshus er kun 2 min unna, det samme med matbutikker. Anbefalast absolutt!
- Maureen (10/5): Juste parfait !! - L'établissement est situé dans le vieux Bergen, quartier piéton, à 5 minutes du quai de Bryggen.
Nous avons loué un appartement 2 chambres. Le logement est très propre, lumineux et bien agencé. Il y a un hall d'entrée avec machine à laver et sèche-linge. Il y a la place pour laisser une poussette. L'appartement est au 1er étage, accessible par un escalier un peu étroit.
Les hôtes sont très accueillants et aux petits soins : on nous a installé une barrière de sécurité a l'escalier pour notre bébé, et le lendemain nous avions une chaise haute dans le hall sans demander!
Je conseille ce logement sans hésitation!!!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Besonders gut war die Lage und Ausstattung.
Nur das fehlende Frühstück war zu bemängeln.
- TUNG YAU (6/5): - The photos are not that on the website. Quite old and shabby and lost its glories.
Noisy wooden floors, squeaks.
Good location.
Owner is nice to let us use the laundry, which located in another apartment, as there is NO laundry service in Bergen.
- Eric (10/5): Midt i blinken for en familie på 4 - Fantastisk fin leilighet, veldig sentralt.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great house in a great location. Excellent staff willing to help in any way possible.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Exceptionally clean apartment in excellent position in Bryggen just behind the Maria church. Handy for the Flybussen to/from the airport but suggest taxi if you are going to/from Hurtigruten.
As there are about 12 stairs to reach the main body of the apartment and there is a small step into the main bedroom suggest those with mobility issues may be challenged. Also the laneways around the area are mainly cobbled.
Handy and usable small spotless kitchenette.
The tv is a smart tv using a series of apps, but not all are available unless registered.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is a place I want to definitely stay at again. Cozy and lovely.
- Steve (10/5): We will choose this place again - Lovely place. Great atmosphere.
Stayed in blue room and shared a very nice new bathroom with an other room, + an Ekatarina toilet in the house.
Well equipped kitchen, WiFi, and good facilities in general. Close to what we wanted to do in Bergen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Greet experience! The flat is nice, clean and cosy ! Very well located in the city centre ! The hosts are super helpful and do everything to make your stay comfortable !
- Helen (10/5): Authentic experience. - Excellent facilities in a central location. The loft room was airy and spacious with plenty of room for a family of four. The shared facilities are clean with everything you might need. Make sure you look to see what has been left behind by those travelling through before you! We found plenty to follow with our children aged 10 and 7. The top of Floyen is wonderful for hiking, playgrounds and views. There was free canoeing and affordable zip lining during our visit as it fell within their school summer holidays. The Aquarium was good and the Science Museum was brilliant. We could walk almost anyway we wanted to get to and Bergen is a fantastic base to take trips out to explore the fjords and landscape further.
- Chewie (6/5): Apartment close centrally located - We stayed in Bjorgvin apartment for three nights over the summer. The location of the apartment is amazing for those wanting to explore all that Bergen has to offer. Everything is right on your door step and there are local shops nearby to by supplies. The host was very pleasant and quickly responded to requests or questions we had about our stay.
The apartment has a bedroom, living room, small kitchen, small bathroom and a utility room with a washer and dryer. The bedroom has a double bed and wardrobe in it but not much room for anything else. This was a shame as we had requested a cot bed for our baby and ended up having to put him in the corridor as there was no room for him in the bedroom and we wanted to be able to use the living room after he was asleep. The kitchen has basic equipment but could be better equipped to help with cooking in. For example the kettle is a small travel kettle and the cooking utensils are a basic IKEA set. The bathroom has not been updated like the other parts of the apartment but was clean and acceptable.
Easy access to the apartment and TV and speaker in living room.
Overall, the apartment was fine and would recommend because of its location. Price was towards top end of what would pay for standard.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay - Check in was a little haphazard but overall a great stay. Everything you need right in the middle of Bergen!
- Greta (8/5): Top Lage in Bergen in einem hübschen Haus - Schönes Gästehaus, 2 Minuten vom Hafen entfernt (die Lage ist wirklich top). Tolle Hauseinrichtung! Sehr stylisch! Top Küche, die wir gerne genutzt haben. Das Zimmer war groß genug, jedoch kein Schrank oder Regal für die Ablage vorhanden. Das Gemeinschafsbad (für 2 Zimmer) ok, wurde leider während unseres Aufenthalts nicht geputzt. Die Gästgeber haben wir leider auch an den 2 Tagen nicht gesehen. Trotzdem eine schöne Unterkunft und sehr empfehlenswert:)
- Verified traveler (8/5): Heimelige Unterkunft an super zentraler Lage. - Sehr unkompliziert organisiert. Der zweitägige Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft war für uns ideal.
- Anatoli (10/5): - Perfect!
- Erik (10/5): Flott alternativ sentralt i Bergen! - Flott alternativ sentralt i Bergen for de som vil ha leilighet og klare seg selv! Rent og pent og praktisk innredet. Kort gangavstand til alle severdigheter, uteliv og restauranter. Parkeringshus like i nærheten. Et stort pluss for oss var vaskemaskin og tørketrommel i leiligheten, vi kunne vaske og tørke tøy på turen. De beste anbefalinger for 2 Søstre Guesthouse, vi kommer tilbake ved en senere anledning! Takk for oss!
- Lora (4/5): - The house was too small for a family of four. The bedroom was tiny, barely fits a queen sized bed and their sofa bed was more of a futon which sleeps 1.5 at best. My two girls are 13 and 15 and could barely fit into the sofa bed with one falling off the bed every night. Another disappointing factor was the lack of an eating area. We had to eat squeezed into a small desk or on our beds because there was no kitchen table.
- Maria (10/5): - Sostre Guesthouse was a beautiful place to stay. Everything was very clean and the bedding was so comfortable. I would highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone who wants a different experience. The hostess, Lisa, greeted us when we arrived and she was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. Sostre Guesthouse is conveniently located to all the major sites as well as to the town center. Everything is within walking distance. The guesthouse is located in a quaint residential neighborhood. I loved the cobblestone street and flowering window boxes at many residents. The shared bathroom was not a problem because there were only two rooms on our floor and one was not occupied. But I don't see that as being a problem at all. Everything was clean and the bathroom was very modern. I would definitely stay here again.
- Patrick (10/5): veldig flott - veldig flott
- Ingrid (8/5): Solskinnsdager i Bergen - Flott beliggenhet,hyggelig vertskap og fin leilighet.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nothing like the photo - The room is good but it is in a building that appears to be owned by the Salvation Army. You don't stay in the building in the photo and that was the reason we chose to stay at Sostre guesthouse
- Verified traveler (10/5): Cozy Apartment and Great location - Super cute apartment and location was perfect. We have no complaints and hope to stay here on our future trips to Bergen.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt.Es fühlte sich an wie Wohnen in Bergen.
- Nick (10/5): We felt we were part of the neighbourhood. - We loved the Norwegian feel with panelled wood in white and pastel shades. The curved wooden stairs gave a homely feel and the furnishings were artistic and well chosen. The staff were friendly and helpful, keeping the shared kitchen clean and tidy and replenishing were necessary. We had good advice on places to eat away from main tourist routes. Strongly recommend walk up Stotzekleiven stepped path to Sandviksfjellet from Monkebotn(easy bus ride) and return down Skreddersdalen path back to guesthouse ( 3 hours with stops etc).
Enjoyed sharing breakfasts with other guests and ate 2 of our 3 evening meals "in", never crowded and well equipped, modern kitchen.
Would recommend this as a place to stay.
