This hotel is managed by the daughters of the long-time owner and its mix of family treas-
ures, design flair, fresh ideas and friendliness make for a very special place indeed. Spread
across two 19th-century stone buildings in a quiet, stately street, it offers elegant rooms,
each one different, but furnished with an appealing combination of antiques and contem-
porary comforts.
Corner rooms are particularly gorgeous, filled with light and with nicely vignetted views
of city rooftops and Mt Fløyen. Complimentary afternoon tea includes their signature
brownies - ask for the recipe. It's a 15-minute walk from the city centre and close to the
good cafes, bars and restaurants that are frequented by the university crowd.

This cute-as-a-button seven-room place has an unbeatable location high up behind the
lower funicular station and warm, welcoming owners and staff. The house retains a tradi-
tional feel and scale, rooms are light and airy (if far from fancy), and the 'balcony room'
has one of the best views in Bergen.
Grand Hotel Terminus
HISTORIC HOTEL
This historic hotel from 1928 harks back to the glory days of rail travel and has requisite
elaborate, baronial lobby and resident ghost story. Suites aside, the rooms are small,
though beautifully decorated. Under the care of the Augustin Hotel family, there's an atten-
tion to detail and modern energy that do its great old bones justice.
