Family Room Hotels in Bergen
14 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Bergen . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Bergen is a compact harbour city on Norway's west coast, known for the colourful wooden warehouses of Bryggen, the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen and plenty of rain. That makes the room itself matter for families: space, the right beds and something to do indoors. The hotels on this page offer family rooms, and several add bunk beds, free cots, games corners or bikes. Bergen Børs Hotel has large family rooms on the harbour, Scandic Ørnen sits next to the train station with bunk options, and Skostredet Hotel & Spa offers connecting doors on request. I compare them below.
Bergen sits between seven hills and the sea, with Bryggen's Hanseatic wharf, listed by UNESCO, lining one side of the harbour and the fish market at its head. The Fløibanen funicular climbs from the centre to Mount Fløyen, where forest trails and play areas look down on the city. Rain is part of local life, so families plan around indoor stops and short walks between them.

🛏️Why Bergen Needs the Right Family Room Setup
A well-planned family room in Bergen gives children their own beds and a place to play when the weather turns, which it often does on this coast. Several hotels here add board games, a Lego corner, kids' meals or a spa, and most sit within walking distance of Bryggen, the fish market and the funicular, so you rarely need a car.
Bergen Børs Hotel, set in the old stock exchange building on the harbour, has the most generous family rooms on this list: large layouts for two adults and two children, with a free cot supplied within 12 hours of booking. Its restaurant offers a kids' menu, and it is rated 8.7. Skostredet Hotel & Spa, five minutes on foot from Bryggen and rated 8.8, offers flexible family rooms with rollaway beds for children up to age 10, connecting doors on request, an allergy-free room option and a spa with a sauna and a small relaxation pool. Both suit families who want comfort close to the harbour.
Families arriving by train can look at Scandic Ørnen, a four-star tower next to Bergen Train Station with family rooms that offer a bunk option, bike rental at reception and kids' meals at its Aquila restaurant. Its sky bar overlooks the harbour, and the Fløibanen funicular is a five-minute walk away. Moxy Bergen, between the station and Festplassen, has a lobby with foosball, a Lego corner for children and a 24/7 grab-and-go food counter, rated 8.3. Citybox Bergen City, a self-service budget hotel near the station, keeps board games and a foosball table in the lobby.
Clarion Hotel Admiral sits on the harbour looking across at the wooden Hanseatic warehouses of Bryggen, and its lobby keeps a generous stock of board games in Norwegian and English that guests can borrow, rated 8.4. Magic Hotel Bergen City Center, 400 metres from Bryggen, offers family rooms with a bedroom door, bike rental and kids' meals, one block back from the busiest part of the harbour. Hotel Norge by Scandic, on Ole Bulls Plass, has the largest indoor spa in the city centre, and Scandic Byparken faces the central park and Lille Lungegårdsvannet lake with a board games shelf.
For families with a car or an early flight, Quality Hotel Edvard Grieg sits five minutes from Bergen Airport and about 20 minutes from the centre, in a quiet suburban setting with forest nearby. It offers family rooms, kids' meals at the restaurant, on-site bike rental, parking included and a free airport shuttle, rated 8.3. It works well for the first or last night of a trip, or for families who prefer space and calm over a harbour view, and want to drive out to the fjords from the edge of the city rather than from the centre.
Parent's take
If I were booking Bergen with children, I would choose Bergen Børs Hotel for its large family rooms, free cot and harbour location. For a family that needs flexible beds, I recommend Skostredet Hotel & Spa, with rollaway beds for children up to 10 and connecting doors on request. My advice is to pack waterproofs for everyone and to plan an indoor option for each day, since Bergen weather changes quickly.
Our Top 14 Picks
Hotels in Bergen with family suite, sorted by guest rating.
Opus XVI
Bergenhus, near Bryggen
Wonderful
320 reviews
Five-star Small Luxury Hotels property in an 1876 building three minutes from Bryggen, with on-site bike rental, guided bike tours through the harbour and walking-tour bookings at the front desk. Family-friendly rooms allow two kids on rollaways and the breakfast buffet includes a kids' table with cut fruit and small portions.
From
€2274/night
Why families love Opus XVI
We had two kids 7 and 10 and the staff loaded the bike trailer for us without being asked. The doorman knows the harbour loop by heart and sketched a kid-friendly version on the back of a Bergen map. Breakfast was the best of the trip with proper waffles and herring the kids actually tried. The rooms are heritage so soundproofing isn't perfect, pack white noise for nap-age kids.
Skostredet Hotel & Spa
Bergenhus
Excellent
500 reviews
Five-star design hotel five minutes from Bryggen with flexible family rooms that take rollaway beds for kids up to 10, connecting doors on request, allergy-free room option, and a spa with sauna and small relaxation pool for adult-only sessions after 19:00.
From
€1107/night
Why families love Skostredet Hotel & Spa
The family room comfortably took two adults and two kids 4 and 7 with a rollaway. Soundproofing held up when the kids slept while we watched a film. Breakfast is a buffet but staff brought cut fruit and yogurt straight to our table when they saw the kids were tired. The spa was the parents reward at 19:00 after the kids fell asleep.
Home Hotel Havnekontoret
Bergenhus
Excellent
500 reviews
Four-star Home Hotel chain in the former harbour customs building from 1925 with two-room family suites, free hot-and-cold buffet 16 to 19 daily, kettle and fridge in every room. Right on the harbour, 100 meters from the fjord boats and Bryggen wooden houses.
From
€4289/night
Why families love Home Hotel Havnekontoret
Home Hotel Havnekontoret occupies the former harbour customs building from 1925, right on Bergen's harbour, and I recommend it to families who want Bryggen and the fjord boats 100 metres away. Two-room family suites give children a separate space, every room has a kettle and a fridge, and a free hot-and-cold buffet runs from 16:00 to 19:00 daily, which covers an early family dinner. Harbour-view rooms keep children busy watching the boats.
Bergen Børs Hotel
Bergenhus
Excellent
500 reviews
Five-star design hotel in the old stock exchange building on the harbour with family rooms that take 2 adults plus 2 kids in a large layout, free cot supplied within 12 hours of booking, and a Michelin-recommended Norwegian restaurant with kids menu downstairs.
From
€1787/night
Why families love Bergen Børs Hotel
Pricey but the rooms are seriously large for a Bergen hotel. The family room held 2 doubles and a cot without feeling cramped. Kids menu at the downstairs restaurant runs proper fish dishes for kids who eat real food, not just nuggets. Staff held the cot setup until our flight landed at 22:00 and the room was already ready when we arrived at 23:30.
VANDER Altona
Bergenhus
Excellent
500 reviews
Four-star design hotel from the VANDER chain with the cheapest family rooms on this list, allergy-free room option, soundproofed rooms and kettle in every room. Five minutes walk to the train station and Bryggen, with kettles, fridge and basic kitchenette for short stays.
From
€587/night
Why families love VANDER Altona
Best value of the five hotels. Family rooms feel less luxurious than Bergen Børs but they hit the basics: separate sleeping area, kettle, fridge for milk and yogurt. Soundproofing held when the kids fell asleep at 19:30 and we watched TV with the volume up. Reception sold local SIM cards which saved a trip out in the rain.
Home Hotel Bryggen
Bergenhus
Excellent
500 reviews
Four-star Home Hotel sister property to Havnekontoret, right next to Bryggen wooden houses, with the same free hot-and-cold buffet 16 to 19 daily, two-room family suites, kettle and fridge, plus allergy-free rooms for sensitive kids.
From
€1246/night
Why families love Home Hotel Bryggen
We picked this over Havnekontoret because it sits 30 seconds from the Bryggen UNESCO houses, which means kids can see the painted wooden facades from the suite window. Same free dinner buffet at 17:00. Family suite layout has a real door between sleep area and living, not a curtain. Kettle and fridge for early breakfast before fjord boats.
Clarion Hotel Admiral
Bergen Sentrum
Very Good
1,704 reviews
Clarion Hotel Admiral sits directly on Bryggen wharf, looking across the harbour at the wooden Hanseatic warehouses. The lobby keeps a generous stock of board games (Norwegian and English versions) free to borrow, plus a daily 16:00 to 18:00 hot-chocolate hour. Family rooms with two double beds available on the second to fourth floors.
From
€276/night
Why families love Clarion Hotel Admiral
Admiral is the most family-aware of the Bergen city hotels because it gets a constant churn of Norway in a Nutshell families coming off the fjord train. The board game collection is genuinely well stocked: chess, Monopoly Bergen edition, Catan, Carcassonne, plus several Norwegian-only options that parents and kids puzzle through together. The breakfast spread is among the best in Bergen, and the bay-view rooms add value when the rain breaks.
Moxy Bergen
Bergen Sentrum
Very Good
2,712 reviews
Moxy Bergen is a modern brand hotel from the Marriott group, designed around a buzzy lobby with foosball, a Lego corner for kids, and a 24/7 grab-and-go food counter. Located between the train station and Festplassen, it's a 5-minute walk to Bryggen and 3 minutes to the Fløibanen funicular base station.
From
€212/night
Why families love Moxy Bergen
Moxy works for families with school-age kids who like a hotel that feels more like a hangout than a place to sleep. The lobby is the social heart and kids quickly fall into pickup games of foosball with other guests. Rooms are compact but well-designed for the price point, with a single-room layout that includes a sofa-bed for one child. Not the right pick if you want quiet evenings; the lobby music runs until 10pm.
Scandic Ørnen
Bergenhus, next to Bergen Station
Very Good
2,100 reviews
Four-star city tower next to Bergen Train Station with bike rental at reception, family rooms with bunk options, a sky bar overlooking the harbour and kids' meals at the Aquila restaurant. Five-minute walk to Torgallmenningen Square and the funicular base.
From
€642/night
Why families love Scandic Ørnen
The kids loved the lift up to the sky bar at sunset, even with just lemonade. Bike rental is dead simple, you sign one form and they wheel them out from the basement. The family room sleeps four properly with a bunk for the kids. Bonus: the train station is downstairs which is the easiest possible arrival with luggage.
Quality Hotel Edvard Grieg
Ytrebygda, near Flesland Airport
Very Good
1,800 reviews
Four-star Quality property 5 minutes from Bergen Airport and 20 minutes from the centre, with on-site bike rental, family rooms, kids' meals at the restaurant and a free shuttle to the airport. Suburban setting puts forest trails and the Sandsli cycle network within easy reach without traffic.
From
€392/night
Why families love Quality Hotel Edvard Grieg
Best value of our Bergen trip. We rented bikes for a morning and rode the forest loop behind the hotel, which was a proper green ride away from cars. The kids' meals at dinner were not the usual chicken nuggets, more like Norwegian fish cake with mashed potato. Downside is the 20-minute drive to the centre, fine if you have a rental car or use the airport bus.
Citybox Bergen City
Bergen Sentrum
Very Good
7,305 reviews
Citybox Bergen City is a self-service budget hotel near the central train station. The lobby keeps a board games corner, a foosball table, and a free coffee/tea station all day. Rooms are small but designed for families with a fold-down sofa-bed for children in the larger room types. No restaurant on site but breakfast is available as an add-on at the cafe next door.
From
€239/night
Why families love Citybox Bergen City
Citybox is the most budget-conscious option here and best for families happy with self-service check-in and a minimal-frills approach. The lobby games are surprisingly well used, mostly by international backpackers and Norway in a Nutshell family arrivals. The location is unbeatable for ferry and train transfers. Rooms can be tight; book the larger room type or two adjoining ones for a family of four.
Hotel Norge by Scandic
Bergenhus
Very Good
3,717 reviews
Hotel Norge by Scandic stands on Ole Bulls Plass in central Bergen, a five-storey design hotel with the largest indoor spa in the city centre. The wellness floor has separate male and female saunas plus a mixed lounge sauna for families.
From
€1206/night
Why families love Hotel Norge by Scandic
The family rooms here are properly sized with 36 square metres, a real sofa bed and a desk that doubles as a kids drawing zone. The spa hosts a 4 to 6 pm family-friendly window where kids in swimwear are welcome with a parent. Breakfast is the most lavish in Bergen but a tighter morning slot for kids under five would help.
Magic Hotel Bergen City Center
Bergenhus, 400m from Bryggen
Good
950 reviews
Four-star Radisson Individuals designer hotel 400 metres from Bryggen wharf with bike rental at reception, family rooms, kids' meal options and a quiet position one block back from the main harbour noise. Walking distance to the funicular, fish market and aquarium ferry stop.
From
€859/night
Why families love Magic Hotel Bergen City Center
Closest to Bryggen of the four-star options. Bikes are basic but they did the job for the harbour loop. The family room had a real bedroom door which made a difference when the kids went to sleep at 8pm. Kids' meals are pasta or fish, served fast. Designer touches mean great photos but the bathroom is small if you have toddler kit.
Scandic Byparken
Bergen Sentrum
Good
2,963 reviews
Scandic Byparken faces the central park and Lille Lungegårdsvannet lake, three minutes from the National Theatre and ten from Bryggen. The hotel keeps a board games shelf in the bar area and a separate quiet study room with chess and backgammon sets. Family rooms on the upper floors look out over the lake.
From
€296/night
Why families love Scandic Byparken
Byparken is the calmer choice — Scandic chains run efficiently and the family rooms are larger than Bergen average. The games are stored in a glass cabinet in the bar; ask at reception for the key. The location is the second-best central pick (after Admiral) with the park out the front door for an afternoon kick-about. Breakfast is the standard Scandic spread, plentiful but not exceptional.
