The location is ideal to visit Bergen from Oslo by train.  You walk about 10 minutes from the main train station to this central square in Bergen.  The apartments are located in a very posh area of Bergen and the center of all tourist activities.  There is a theater at one end of the plaza, plenty of restaurants, a walking street, good shopping, and 10 minutes to the famous Bryggen.  You walk about a few blocks to catch the funicular to get a good view of Bergen.   The train station to the airport is only about two blocks from the hotel.

This is not a hotel, but an apartment complex which shares some units.  There is a reception desk that manages your stay.  I came at a time when the reception was closed and had an issue with the key card.  But, it was solved.

The rooms are the size of a small studio with all the amenities.  I only stayed overnight and it was okay for the price.  The rooms were clean and there is security all around.

In Heart of City and Close to Everything

The apartments are located right at the center of Bergen’s main square with plenty of shopping, restaurants and nightlife in the vicinity. My apartment was great , I was expecting a studio with the beds by the kitchen but instead I got a an apartment with a separated bedroom with an ensuite small room where you can store  your luggage etc. There was also a large closet and a living room area by the kitchen, overall everything looked very well maintained. Wifi worked flawlessly and regarding the renovation workings going On I think it was at its last stages and it didn’t cause me much of a disturbance, I could hear few  working's noises and always from far away from my apartment . The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful 

Great stay

Room was like a small apartment, small kitchen, Sitting area, bedroom and bathroom. Staff very helpful. There were no amenities, coffee, lounge etc. They are in the process of adding a rooftop bar, new lobby, new elevators.Would stay again if in Bergen, not far from fish market

2 day trip

We stayed here for two nights at the end of our Norway trip. It wasn’t a good experience.

The noise from the ongoing construction / renovation works, plus the nightclub downstairs meant that sleeping was near impossible. Fire alarms and full evacuations on both days. Room was hot, with no aircon. Sofabed the most uncomfortable ever (tried) to sleep on. The shower leaked. The dishwasher was full and included broken crockery upon arrival. The small lift meant long waits to fit in the buggy. No instructions on how to work kitchen appliances. Washer / dryer is shared, with added cost. No 24/7 hotel staff. 

It was not a relaxing experience and we were so tired it affected our enjoyment of Bergen. 

Issues reported to hotel but did not respond.

On a plus point, the staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t stay here again.

Not recommended

I stayed for two nights and it was really nice. The hotel was really close to the central station and from the light rail to the airport. It was also easy to go to the touristic places, restaurants, markets by foot. The kitchen is nice too and I could prepare my breakfast there. 
My room was close to the elevator and not so quiet, but there was a nice view.

Good location and nice view

The first thing to say is to praise the staff; both by email in advance, and in person, they were super helpful and friendly.

Inside, the building is undergoing renovation. Whilst the corridors are still a work in progress, our apartment had been recently redecorated and was nicely decorated. There are nice modern touches, too; plenty of sockets, a smart TV, good WiFi. The location is good, and there's washer/drier facilities for use (seemingly for free, but the welcome sheet suggested there may be a cost). 

However, things quickly fall apart. Presented with apparently endless, unmarked light switches, we can only conclude the electrics were designed by a machiavellian evil genius. Highlights include a switch that does nothing, and the bathroom light you can only turn on by turning on all the lights in the entire apartment. The kitchen appliances are tired, and clearly haven't been replaced along with the rest of the internal. The kettle lid didn't shut, and the coffee machine had no lid meaning it wouldn't brew without being jerry rigged open with a spoon. The kitchen fan, even when 'off' is incredibly loud, and as the bedroom and kitchen all join onto one another, it will definitely impact a light sleeper. Much of this would be easily rectifiable and would have made the stay much better. 



Nice refurbishment, but lacking attention to detail 

On our recent stay in Bergen we stayed at In city apartments.  
We found there was not enough dishes in the apartment.    We could sleep 4 people but there was 3 cups and one teaspoon. We had a dishwasher but were provided with two dishwasher tablets for 7 days.  There was ample heating in the room

Holiday to bergen

First impressions good as the guy at reception was super friendly & helpful. But common areas were very tacky as was the level of cleaning in the apartments. The apartments , space wise, are very good but nobody is 'loving' or really caring about Ole Bull. They have a rule about the right to peace from 11pm to 7am and yet the bar and club which is part of the apts/hotel dumps bottles into bottle banks in the courtyard in the middle of the night????? They are our comments- all in all we were happy here because of good location, space & good reception staff. 

Great location, nice reception staff but careless cleaning & maintenance.

I had a first night experience in CityBox Hotel Oslo from where I decided box hotels weren't for me for my stay in Norway. Looking for alternative and almost at double the budget I came across this listing with quite good review and a good floor area in Bergen. Having a kitchenette was a plus point.
I reached there in the evening (7 or 8 pm), it was hard to find even after switching on GPS and mobile data due to the InCity & Ole Bulls name confusion. Well I did reach there.
Check-In was smooth but the first room I was allotted was back alley facing and felt lonely and depressing so I came down and changed my room to street facing room. This one was better. There was noise from the club downstairs but having club noise felt better than dark depressing view from the window.
The room was clean, there was floor heating in the wash room. The room heating didn't start spontaneously, had to call the staff to get it started. There was only one radiator in the hall. 
My biggest problem in the room was the Twin Beds. I have a dislike for Twin Beds especially the ones which are light weight and tend to grow apart the minute you change sides while sleeping. Well exactly this happened and I had troubled sleep because of it but other than that, hotel was good.
I would like to mention I saw very few guests. The construction is old but ok to stay for 2-3 days. The kitchenette helps with the food. The coffee machine was there but no coffee pods.
The breakfast spread I must mention was good.
The location is excellent, its 10 min walking from all 4 of the Kobe Museums, I wish I had more days to spend there.
Also you get the Norway In Nutshell tour tickets from the Bergen Railway Station which is just a little further from the Kobe Museums. 
Narvessam etc are just round the corner. A little walk from here will take you to the famous Bryggen Museum & lane. 
There is market area all along with all brands and food joints.

Overall an excellent location.

Good Hotel, somewhat old

We stayed here for 4 nights.  It is an extended stay type hotel. Rooms were large, with kitchen facilities, separate bed space and dated bathroom. It was clean and totally adequate for  our needs. Very good buffet breakfast.
