Pros (+) It was the perfect place to stay in Bergen for 3 nights. Super Secure and safe. I stayed in the 4 bed female dorm. They head huge lockers so I never worried about my stuff when I left it in the room.

Opt for a Room with Private Bathroom
Some guests were surprised to find that the bathroom and washroom were shared across the hostel, common for both men and women, and not just among roommates. Consider this when choosing your room type.
Consider Noise Levels
Some guests mentioned that the hostel can be noisy at night, so if you're a light sleeper, it might be helpful to bring earplugs.
Check for Bedbug Infestation
A guest reported encountering bedbugs and cleanliness issues. It's advisable to check the room thoroughly upon arrival and report any concerns to the staff.
Utilize Luggage Storage
The hostel offers a luggage room for free storage, which can be convenient for early check-ins or late check-outs.
Be Mindful of Reception Hours
The reception has limited opening hours, so plan your check-in and check-out times accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.
Bring Your Own Towels
Towels are not provided in the dormitory and have to be paid for separately, so it's a good idea to bring your own to save on extra costs.
Consider Ventilation
Some guests mentioned poor ventilation and stuffy rooms, so if this is a concern for you, it's worth considering when choosing your accommodation.
Check Kitchen Equipment
The kitchen is well-equipped, but some guests found the utensils to be insufficient and occasionally dirty, so it might be helpful to check the cleanliness before use.
Be Aware of Room Size
Some guests found the rooms to be small, so if space is a priority for you, it's worth considering when booking.
Be Prepared for Self-Check-in
The hostel provides access codes for check-in, and some guests found this process efficient, while others found it confusing. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the self-check-in procedure before arrival.
