We won't have a car. We'll travel by train Oslo to Bergen, then fly to SVG and CPH before coming home to Toronto.
You won't be happy. Maybe one day, try a Moxy when you are traveling solo. But it's certainly not a place I would stay with more than one person in a room, and probably not for more than one night. It is a minimalist budget hotel aimed at young travelers who don't need much in the way of amenities.
I loved Bergen, but we quickly realized that (despite my usual penchant for chain hotels & accompanying benefits) renting an apartment was the way to go. We found a great one on booking.com at a very reasonable cost, with a full living room and kitchen. I normally loathe airbnb/vrbo-style setups because of all the "rules" associated, but there seem to be a bunch of apartment-style accommodations on sites like booking.com (which I also don't normally use) that operate much like hotel rooms, just without any staff on hand. (You get a code to a lockbox for the key, etc. -- but you can leave your towels and linens as they are when you leave instead of having to start a load or take out the trash or whatever nonsense airbnb "hosts" often make their guests do.)
