Customer Reviews Bergen Montana
| 08 Jun 2013 Gil, Israel | 67% | |
| Room is too small. the widows are facing the neighbours and not the view | ||
| 31 May 2013 Joachim, Germany | 57% | |
| Compared to other HI-hostels, we rate Bergen significantly below the standard.
Also when you add the immens charge for a linen and towel (2 x 70 NKR, i.e. 19€!!!, rent, not purchase), the total value for money is pretty poor.
The time required for the bus transfer to/from boat or train is also a clear minus in the total consideration. | ||

| Staff was very rude and not willing to inform about city details and other hostel information. It's a shame to pay for sheets and towels... That is not common for travelers to carry their on sheets and towels at least out of Scandinavia.... | ||

| The view from the hostel itself is fairly nice! But the location is quite far away from the city.
