First Marin Hotel - Bergen

This new hotel ranks alongside the best hotels in Bergen and with its maritime feel has managed to create its own unique, high-quality atmosphere.

All rooms vary in size but on average are medium-sized. All are in exceptional condition. Most have wooden floors, comfortable blue, red and green furnishings and again, theme motifs based on the sea.

Located on the ground floor behind the main reception area and the elevators, this is a brightly-decorated, open-plan room with deliberate views behind the serving counter into the kitchen.

This is small, with modern furnishings setting the maritime tone for the whole hotel. Adjacent is an attractive bar and cafe.

It is a brown stone building, with a weather-beaten look to the brickwork, Although at ground level the facade is extremely modern.
