Affordable Hotels in Bergen (2026)

Framed by mountains and the North Sea, Bergen is a small, straightforward city with a busy harbour, historic wooden buildings and easy access to the surrounding fjords. For travellers watching what they spend, the city offers a good range of affordable hotels, from modern stays in the centre to more traditional properties slightly further out of town. These budget-friendly options focus on comfort and convenience, with reliable facilities and practical amenities for both business and leisure guests. They’re a solid choice for seeing Bergen while keeping costs under control.

For a central location

• Right in Bryggen, Det Hanseatiske Hotel is set inside original Hanseatic buildings with timber beams, narrow staircases and cosy rooms. There’s a busy bar, a great restaurant and everything outside your door – museums, harbour walks and the Fish Market – making it an easy, central base with affordable rates.
• Small, friendly and quietly tucked away, Klosterhagen Hotel feels more like a smart guesthouse than a hotel. Rooms are simple and spacious, there’s a leafy garden and terrace for relaxation, and a meeting space on hand. Everything Bergen’s known for is within walking distance, without the bustle outside your door. A good value option.

For business travellers 

• Hotel Zander K sits right by Bergen station, making meetings easy to organise and even easier to get to. Interiors are modern and practical with warm wood touches and bold colours. Excellent conference spaces, a well-run restaurant, gym and buzzing bar make it a reliable, hassle-free base for business trips, without the hefty price-tag.
