Marken Gjestehus has been awarded Norway's best Hostel in 2008, 2009, 2010 (2nd), 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2019.
Since opening in 1997, we have received great responses and feedback from our guests, saying that the accommodation we offer is excellent, modern and reasonably priced. We wish to maintain these essential factors, and to continue giving our guests the same up-to-date accommodation at the same low price.
We have renovated and redecorated the whole hostel in 2014. In 2017 we expanded and added 3 brand new rooms and in 2019 we renovated a few more rooms.
Marken Gjestehus is located in the historic building of “Smith-Sivertsen A / S”, which was run as a bakery until 1969. In the former bakery, the remains of a boathouse were found during the repair of a baking oven in 1860. This indicates that the harbor at one time reached this far!
