Scandic Bergen City: Best Hotel Near Bryggen Wharf
Bergen is well-known in Norway for its Bryggen Wharf, flanked with medieval-era wooden buildings ashore. And who wouldn’t want to be near a harbour that was once the world’s oldest trade post? Right? The Wharf is also where you’ll find the majority of Bergen’s history, as well as the most outstanding museums, restaurants, and pubs. Therefore, staying at Scandic Bergen City is your best bet in Bergen.
Scandic Hotels in general appeal to me, and I’ve stayed at a number of them in recent years. However, staying at Hotel Scandic Bergen City was a conscious choice as it’s a walking distance from the Wharf and the main street. Hotel Scandic Bergen City is a modern design hotel where the neon world meets luxury comfort travel.

Scandic Bergen City
When I initially arrived, I was unsure which of the three buildings to enter. With the aid of the receptionist, I discovered that I was booked to stay in the first building. Each of the 254 rooms of the Scandic Bergen Hotel is fitted with a queen-size bed, a work desk, complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions, and an en-suite bathroom with toiletries and a hairdryer. More additional features include an iron and ironing board, tea/coffee maker, and extra seating.
The suites, on the other hand, include stylish balconies that are a photographer’s dream. During my stay, I would begin each day with the complimentary breakfast, which had the finest cold meats, bread and fruits. Even so, go out for an A’la carte meal at the in-house Hollywood themed restaurant Amalie. And enjoy both traditional and continental Norwegian cuisine guilt-free!
In all likelihood, being served by the fireplace will rekindle a long-forgotten charm that will enhance as the beverages and food arrive. The merriment continues with a delicious symphony of flavours.
Other Facilities
If you want any assistance, please contact the multilingual front-desk personnel, who are available 24 hours a day to assist visitors. The next day, I went to the Arctic gym and fitness centre for a 20-minute exercise in the morning. That’s where I noticed a bunch of English-speaking corporate leaders. When I recall that morning, their British accent still stays in my mind.
In any case, who wouldn’t want to stay in a hotel that is so close to the city’s most important landmarks? If you’re driving in, a parking spot for a day will set you back at NOK 250.
Overall, the Scandic Hotel Bergen City is good value for money because it allows you to explore half of the city on foot. I went for a quiet walk at night to the UNESCO landmark Bryggen Wharf and was blown away by its landscape. You may stroll up to the Bergen Aquarium and Museum during the day.
I can see you had a nice stay 😀
