I stayed at Marken Guesthouse with 2 of my friends in a 4 bed dormitory. Luckily, we got the whole room for ourselves. Marken Guesthouse has excellent location. The rooms and the entire hostel area is really clean, which is quite important for a hostel. Even a late check-in was not a problem, even though the reception was already closed,... More

There are some good things about the Marken Guesthouse. The location is really great; right between the train station and the downtown area. Everything you will want to see is within walking distance. Our room had a nice window facing Mt. Floyen and the window opened, which was great considering how hot the hotel was. The decor was weird, kind... More

The location is excellent, everything is well organized and clean, the price you pay is high - but not for Norway. The view from the dining hall windows... I am going to miss it, after the 5 nights i stayed there. (You see small private houses on a mountain slope - it really looks like from some toy-movie...)

Marken Gjestehus is really a hostel but that's not important if you're looking for a good, clean, simple, comfortable, central, quiet and comparatively cheap bed in the stunning city of Bergen. The management were very efficient and helpful. Our check in, which was after hours, was arranged easily with a few quick emails. Free wi-fi, two large screen communal televisions... More

Let me start with the positive aspects first: * Excellent location... walkable from the train station and the main square. You dont need public transportation if you are staying here * Economical in terms of Norway standards... as you know it is all expensive in Norway * Basic & Clean rooms.. with plenty of shared bathrooms/restrooms * if you are...

This was a very nice place to stay. We were able to get to the places we wanted to go without too much walking time. The rooms were nice, though I was not given the correct key to my locker, and even after explaining this to the reception, they gave me a key to someone else's which could have turned... More

I am actually writing this review from the public internet computer in the Marken Gjestehus common room! I couldn't wait to get home for fear that I would forget the fantastic (fantastisk) experience I have had here. I am only staying one night; I booked in advance at hostelworld.com with a 10% downpayment. The booking was easy, quick, and I... More

I stayed at Marken Gjestehus for three night, and I loved it! They had just renovated and redecorated my room, and it was gorgeous. The staff told me they are in the process of remaking many more rooms as well. The location can't be beat: on a really cute and picturesque cobblestone street, right in the middle of town. Only...

We booked this place hoping for a bed and a hot shower. When you book a hostel, you usually don't hope for much more. The shower in the morning was stone cold. Even lukewarm would have sufficed. To make matters even more frustrating, there's never anyone to man the reception area, so there was no one to help. The room... More
