We had a standard double room, which was somewhat small but otherwise ok(ish). The bed seemed fine at first (perhaps a little narrow) - but my back was killing me the next morning! Our room had a small work desk, a tiny little table and an armchair - and there was a flat-screen TV (with a very limited selection of channels), mini bar, trouser press, hair dryer... The bathroom (shower only, no bathtub - but heated floors) was nice and spotlessly clean - but the carpet in the bedroom (and in the hallways) looked really filthy.
Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel - and the connection was fast and reliable. (Get an access code from the reception)
A nice buffet breakfast is included - a decent selection of bread, breadrolls, crispbread and crackers, cereals, yoghurt, fruit, cold meats and cheeses... - and various Norwegian specialties such as brunost (brown cheese), kaviar (see the restaurant tips on my Norway page for more info!;o), smoked salmon, several types of pickled herring... There were also some hot foods - sausages, fried potatoes, fried and boiled eggs, beans...
The entire hotel is non-smoking.
Clarion Hotel Bryggen is pretty much in the same price range as Clarion Collection Hotel With and Rica Ishavshotellet (perhaps a *little* cheaper - but check the prices, as they do tend to vary a lot) - I'd say both are (much) better options.
