Opus XVI is the splurge that still scores on the evening. It has a restaurant, a sauna and a gym, which keeps it level with the bigger Bryggen hotels even from about 1 km out.
It’s 65 rooms in an 1876 bank, a Small Luxury Hotels of the World member, with a Grieg exhibition inside.
Breakfast is where it drops points. The hotel describes an à la carte breakfast and doesn’t promise it in every rate, even though tourism listings do. Check your rate before you count on it.
Book it if
- You want the last night ashore to feel like the trip
- A restaurant and a sauna on site matter more than the walk
- You’re travelling with a pet and don’t mind the fee
Look elsewhere if
- You want to walk to Skolten with bags
- You’re driving; valet is NOK 595 a day and has to be booked
- You want breakfast guaranteed in the rate

Which quay
SkoltenMeasured to Skolten, where Bergen Havn’s ocean-cruise turnarounds happen, Opus XVI is about 1 km in a straight line. For a Hurtigruten coastal voyage you want the Jektevik Terminal instead, about 450 m away. Your documents name the quay; the Bergen cruise guide has the rest.

KlosterGarasjen, up to NOK 280 a dayThere’s no cruise car park at Skolten or Jekteviken that we could find.

Scandic quotes the same garage at NOK 300 per 24 hours, so check the sign.
