Outstanding
We had a flawless experience at the Opus XVI. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The bed was the comfiest I've ever slept on at a hotel, and the spacious room and bathroom were very luxurious.
That aside, let me tell you about the crowning feature of this already excellent hotel. The restaurant.
The food is absolutely out-of-this-world. We worked our way through the breakfast options, and as much of the evening menu as we could manage in our short stay, and I have to tell you that the quality, taste and presentation of every single dish was nothing short of stunning. In the coming months, I will likely take the 10-hour round-trip train journey from Oslo just to come back for the eggs benedict.
One of our most enjoyable afternoons was spent taking afternoon tea. Each table was laid out with its own set of vintage china, and a pianist was setting the mood. As a Brit, I've had plenty of afternoon teas, so I can say with some authority that this one was both delicious and 'authentic'. In particular, the cakes were a triumph. The fact that they prepared their own clotted cream was a nice touch.
We were hoping to join the Sunday roast buffet, but understandably that is not currently running due to the pandemic. We will definitely be back when it re-opens.
If you are planning to stay in Bergen, I assure you, you should stay at this hotel - you will be delighted.
