Scandic Ørnen

Scandic Ørnen is a Scandic chain hotel at Lars Hilles gate 18 in the Danmarksplass area of Bergen, Vestland, Norway. It sits south of the city centre close to the Bergen Light Rail and the Bystasjon bus terminal, which makes it a practical base for travellers arriving by coach or heading to the airport on the light rail, which runs from the city to Flesland. The historic harbour and Bryggen are further away than at the central waterfront hotels, so visitors typically use the light rail or buses to reach the old town, although the stop proximity keeps journeys short. The hotel is a modern, functional property rather than a heritage building, and its appeal rests on convenience, consistent chain standards and value. Accommodation is offered in Standard, Superior and Family room categories, and rates are in the mid-range band of about 1,100 to 2,400 NOK per night, noticeably lower than several waterfront alternatives. Listed amenities include Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a bar, a fitness area and a breakfast buffet, which is a defining feature of Scandic hotels and is generally regarded as a strong point for families and early departures. Dining on site covers breakfast and evening meals, and the surrounding districts offer additional restaurants and cafés a short transit ride away. No spa or pool is listed. The service character is oriented toward business travellers and families, with practical facilities rather than boutique extras. Family rooms make it a sensible choice for parents travelling with children, and the transport links suit visitors using Bergen as a base for fjord excursions that depart from the bus station or railway. Bergen is one of Europe's wetter cities, so proximity to public transport reduces exposure to rain. Prices rise in the summer season and on event weekends, and the hotel's telephone number is +47 55 37 50 00. Current room details and offers are available on the Scandic Hotels website.
