Why choose a hostel in Bergen?

It’s budget-friendly

Hostels in Bergen are a fraction of the price of hotels – as little as $146 ‌per night. Why not save on accommodation, so you can spend more on the things in Bergen that really matter — like delicious food and sightseeing? Most hostels have kitchens and laundry rooms too, so you can cook meals and wash clothes for yourself just like you do at home.

It’s flexible

In some of the larger hostels in Bergen you can book one night at very short notice, or decide to extend via the hostel’s reception desk if you’ve fallen in love with Bergen. It’s not uncommon for some backpackers to live in hostels for months.

You’ll make friends

Solo travellers opt for cheap hostels in Bergen so they can make friends to party or explore with. Spend an hour or two in a dorm room, hostel bar, or common area. You’ll get the kind of tips and advice you’d never find in a private apartment or hotel. There could also even be pub crawls, communal dinners and special organised events!

You’ll immerse yourself in Bergen

You’re never going to find out where to get the cheapest beer in town if you’re sat on your own in your hotel room. Hostels give you the chance to exchange tips and advice about Bergen with other travellers. Some hostels in Bergen even offer free guide books and walking tours, and the staff are more forthright with local tips, too.

You can kick back

Hostels are relaxed places, and often feel much more comfortable than hotels. You can kick back on the sofa all day with new friends and cook and eat your own meals communally. A true home away from home!

How to find the best hostel deals in Bergen

Our search engine is a pro at finding flight deals. The good news? It's just as awesome at hunting down amazing rates on hostels. Book smarter and pay less with these tips.

Book in advance

Book early to increase your chances of finding your ideal hostel at a great price. This is even more important during peak travel periods like holidays and major festive seasons.

…or bag a last-minute Bergen hostel deal.

Last-minute booking can be a bit of a gamble, but it can work in your favor. Some places cut their rates ahead of check-in to attract bookings, especially in quieter months.

Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates

If you have wiggle room with your dates, compare different months or seasons to find the best deal. Midweek stays are often lighter on your budget than weekends, so even a small tweak can save you money.
