Basic Hotel Bergen
The only small problem was the night-club below. Apart from that, exactly what I expected for the price, which is enough for me.

Sigurds gate 8
Very nice place. Small, but that was expected. Expensive, but that's Norway. Jonas was very responsive. Loved the area. Easy walk to the cruise port.

Thon Hotel Orion
Great hotel, lovely and clean. Breakfast was a great selection of food catered to all needs and plenty to go around. Hotel was central to the city but a little tucked away so it was calm and quiet. Will definitely consider staying again the next time we are there.
