Very nice and good association with a famous composer. Staff well intended but they put us in twin rooms and coukdbt fix the problem…also don’t expect a drink till 4pm as the bar is closed before then. Air conditioning is non existent - don’t buy the “we have natural climate control” answer….

Fra mottakelse - med valet parkering som et tilleggsalternativ - til ala carte frokost om morgenen, er dette et snev av internasjonal luksus i Bergen by. Gode senger, og vi opplevde å komme tilbake til ryddet rom som var klargjort for kvelden etter å ha vært ute og spist middag. 10 av 10 på opplevelse, og vi kommer gjerne tilbake igjen.

An absolute gem of a hotel. An old bank turned into a luxury hotel. Grand and opulent without being stuffy. All of the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. Delicious breakfast served under chandeliers to the sound of a piano player is the loveliest way to start the day. In the middle of beautiful Bergen right near the fish market. Rooms were spotless and beds squashy and comfortable. Honestly couldn’t fault our stay here. Had the loveliest time, highly recommended.

The hotel itself is ok. NO PARKING! If you drive, the offsite parking is 11 minutes away walk. I did not like the staff at the beginning, but it really depends. The staff later helped me was nice.

There was an issue at check-in; I asked for a quiet room and was told mine was above the bar, which might be noisy. But they were reluctant to move me because it would require a downgrade which they couldn\'t do (for some system-related reason). I had to stress that size of room was not important compared with noise level and I had to go as far as threatening to just leave and go to a different hotel. (I hate to behave like that but I was afraid of being stuck in a noisy room). Finally when someone else interceded I got my "downgrade" to a quieter room, not above the bar. Also of note - the restaurant may be appealing to some but it is a very limited menu!!!

From start to finish this hotel is flawless. We were greeted at 1am by the concierge with a big smile and a friendly welcome. Our room was beautiful, clean and felt luxurious. The bed was very comfortable and we had Nespresso pods which were refilled every day. Lots of lovely touches within the room such as the Molton Brown products and a turn down service in the evening. The breakfast was superb every morning and the service was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the pianist playing Christmas songs in the morning. Perfect location for getting around Bergen but nice and quiet in the evening for a restful stay. We would happily stay again, thank you to Opus and all of their staff.

Lovely hotel and our room was very nice. Very spacious and well appointed with a very nice bathroom with a wonderful, modern shower (a must have for us). The bed was quite comfortable, more so than we typically get. And it’s right in the heart of Bergen so easy to get around. We generally like to try different hotels when we return to a city but in this case we will come back to the Opus 16!

Lovely hotel, very comfortable, rooms are wonderfully furnished, modern heated bathroom with good strong hot water. Friendly and helpful staff. I had booked a deluxe with city view twin room but there weren’t’ any more twin rooms, and we downgraded to a deluxe room without views. The room was a bit dark because it looked into an internal courtyard but was otherwise extremely comfortable. Staff were apologetic and tried their best to find us alternatives, but in the end, we found the room more than acceptable, breakfast was wonderful with a good selection abd a nice a la carte menu, I can strongly recommend this hotel, and will want to be back if I am ever in Bergen again.

We had a perfect stay, we had a superior room which had a little sofa as well as the bed which made it really comfortable for two people hiding from the rain in Bergen! The bathroom was particularly lovely with underfloor heating...the breakfast buffet was amazing with nice additional hot plates to order. The staff were great and we loved being bang in the centre of Bergen.

Lovely classy hotel in an excellent area. Everything was walkable, and breakfast was amazing. A la carte and buffet options available. The room was elegant and cosy. It was my Wife's 50th birthday just before we stayed, and the hotel put out some fudge and hand wrote a birthday message that I prepared, on a lovely post card, which my Wife has kept as a keepsake. I wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you Opus XVI for a wonderful stay.

Worst experience at an SLH property. After traveling all day arrived about 6:00pm and was told by reception that we could not be served anything at the restaurant. Too late for tea and dinner was fully booked. Neither their website, nor booking confirmation emails suggested dinner reservations. I asked if it was possible to get anything to eat at the bar and was told no, just chips or peanuts. While eating chips for dinner, three locals came in and were served a three-course meal at the bar. I complained to the bartender, reception and management. They still refused to serve us anything. Our small room overlooked a very noisy a side street with voices waking us up throughout the night. There was nothing luxury about it except the huge bathroom, which was very cold with no underfloor heating. Not worth the price.

What a lovely stay at Opus XVI!! The staff were beyond accommodating. One morning, I wasn't feeling well, and they sent breakfast and a pot of coffee to me in our room. When we left very early for the train station, they sent a boxed breakfast with us. Brekfast was included in our stay, and there were a myriad of options. Our room had a view of the water and was very quiet. The beds and linens very comfortable. We definitely would stay here again. The staff was so pleasant and helpful.

We stayed at The Eilert Smith Hotel in Stavanger and Opus in Bergen, and although both are owned by the same group, what a world of difference in customer experience. Eilert Smith staff went out of their way to do anything they could for us. Opus was like any big hotel, made the reservations if you asked, but did not respond to any texts or messages, even though they said they were available 24/7. Staff esp one lady just seemed like she couldn’t handle even reservations efficiently or understand. Seemed to be scrambling and unsure. Anyway, just an ordinary experience. Not great or extraordinary like The Eilert Smith Hotel in Stavanger. Also breakfast at Opus was okay, not great. Quality of food just okay.
