You get what you pay for - to an extent, with this one. Cheap room in a superb location. Relatively clean but facilities are befitting the price - poor decor, cracked and loose bathroom floor tiles, a travesty of a zip tied shower, poor room ventilation and a general condition of something you'd expect for the lowest local price. Set your expectations low, then go lower. If you need a place to crash - perfect. If you need functional facilities and a pleasant environment go elsewhere.

When we arrived nodoby was there and the option was to make a phone call if you do not have roaming (I came from Argentina) because the cost of having activated the cell phone is so expensive is a complication Being said that, the floor was dirty, the floor of the room the same, Take a shower was so difficult because the whole floor was flooded HORRIBLE

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Although the staff member that checked me in was very nice, helping me find a place to lock my bike on the property, the poor condition of the building and rooms was very concerning. A review in German on another website said there were bed bugs here at some point, and though my inspection didn’t reveal any, the grime under the bed and general condition and smell of the property did not provide any reassurance. Simple maintenance things like properly functioning faucet valves, paint touch ups and more thorough cleaning would help. I don’t recommend this place.

Upon arrival the room was not clean. The whole place is crying for a renovation. The location is perfect and the bed is comfortable. Mold in the bathroom, ventilation is unefficient.

Great location
The location is great, everything is within walking distance including the airport shuttle bus stops. The room was fine, bed were comfy. However the bathroom needs some love. The sink tap was lose, the floor moves underfoot and the shower does its own thing. The radiator in the bedroom was hanging off. We never saw anyone else, when we checked in we rang a number on the door, they gave us the key safe number and we let ourselves in. The bar downstairs we found to be quiet, maybe in summer it gets busy and noisy but it never bothered us. For a short stay this hotel is fine.

Central and great value for money!
The Skansen Hotel is a bit worn down. However it's clean and quite OK. I stayed Mon-Wed and had no trouble with noise as many other gusts have observed. Taken into account the price and location. I would rate this a great value for money stay in a ok rom :-)

Lack of sleep due to lots of Noise from below Pub
Room is clean and no lift to reach room. And also Hotel is attached to the Pub in the ground floor, so lots of Music and Noise till 1AM. Its difficult to sleep till that time. I am not sure on other days. The only good part is Room is near to city center.

Disappointing hotel stay but a good price
Clear enough, this is a budget hotel, considering the price & location. Nevertheless, I have never been in a hotel that was this loud in my entire life. More like a Hostel with a private room/bathroom. Clean, with a small, single bed and a low budget bathroom. Everything would've been acceptable considering the price; however, the noise made this place terrible. On the bottom floor of the building there is an attached "bar" which is actually where you check in. Do NOT stay here if you want to go to bed before 3 or 4 in the morning. I am one that falls asleep very easily, but the "bar" on the ground floor is more like an incredibly loud club, with super heavy bass you can feel in your bed, and loud people you can hear through the windows (even from the third floor). If you need to get some rest,find another place. If you're looking to party all night in a good location for a very reasonable price, this might be the place for you.

Efficient cleanbbasic room with bath updated with laminate flooring. Above restaurant. We are seniors and asked for lower floor but given upper floor even though it seemed only one other guests there. I think they thought seniors did not want to hear noise from bar . There is a disabled elevator but they didn't use. Breakfast room not in operation yet. Nice friendly bartender checked us in and our delayed sas luggage by one day delivered but left in front of our room perhaps because we had left do not disturb sign as there is no real reception other than bar. Luggage was safe and intact. Perfect location next to Victoria and Havly and Clarion brygge as well as fjorde north office. Cruise ship parked across the street at harbor. CN walk to town and shopping
