I had a wonderful experience at the Clarion Hotel Admiral, highlighted by its really good location right on the water and a quick walk to local attractions. The breakfast was a standout, offering a vast array of delicious options. However, my room experience was less than perfect due to noise from the nearby pier and some minor issues with the shower. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its views and dining, but maybe not for a longer stay if you're sensitive to noise.

I had a solid experience at the Clarion Hotel Admiral. The location was fantastic, right across from the picturesque Bryggen and close to the fish market. While the hotel offered a great breakfast and attentive staff, my room was somewhat underwhelming with limited views and a few shortcomings in the bathroom. Overall, it was a good stay but could use some updates.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was cozy and seemed fairly new, though it could use a bit of refreshment. I appreciated the large windows, but unfortunately, it only slightly opened, which wasn't ideal during a heat wave. The ensuite was petite, with a shower that often made the whole bathroom wet after use.

I had a mixed experience at the Clarion Hotel Admiral. The location is fantastic, right on the water with stunning views of Bryggen. However, the room I received was small and a bit too hot, leading to noise issues from nearby bars when I opened the window. On the bright side, the breakfast was really good with a great variety of options, though I wished some items were served warmer. 😊
