Tromsø hotels

Pros: spaciousness of the area

Cons: nil

Pros: Nice setting by the water, right in the heart of the livey town center. Easy for pickups of the tours.

Cons: The family room was rather small and we had to rearrange furniture and set up the extra beds ourselves to make it somehow comfortable. At breakfast there was a rush hour, making it not really relaxed and enjoyable. Dirty plates of previous eaters were left too long on the tables and tables that were cleared were not whiped so leaving crumbs and dirty coffee rings. In the evening we were eager to have some small bites with our drinks in the bar, but there was nothing else than dull chips and nuts. Kitchen closed at 10 pm. For the high price we paid, we expected a better service overall.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff

Pros: Great views and location and very good breakfast buffet.

Pros: Building is modern, clean and well designed. Room was small but efficient and the bed was comfortable.

Cons: Be aware that the normal rooms have small beds, 54” wide, if you want large bed/ room you need to upgrade. There was no room service so it was difficult to get food during the limited restaurant hours. There were no slippers or robes included.

Pros: Surely the location and the friendliness of the staff; also the breakfast was awesome!

Pros: Location was great.

Cons: Pillows were too soft. We asked for more pillows but none arrived.

Pros: Breakfast was great! Location was lovely.

Cons: Room was extremely small for two people. One small double bed when I requested two twins. Towels did not match.

Pros: perfect location, the best breakfast in a hotel I have ever experienced, staff friendly and helpful, would definitely stay here again.

Pros: Great location close to the centre of town. As other reviewers have stated, the breakfast here is fantastic! We had an exceptional dinner at the hotel restaurant as well. There are also plenty of eating options around town. The staff are very helpful as well and can provide useful info regarding transport, restaurants and activities in the region. Our family room was comfortable albeit a bit small, but we were a party of five and the room contained bunk beds to accommodate all of us. Also liked the heated bathroom floor and the view of the town and harbour from the bedroom window. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.

Cons: Pretty good overall. A dedicated shuttle bus to take guests of the hotel to and from the airport would be good.

Pros: Very good location. Breakfast was good. We had a very nice room and comfortable bed. We really enjoyed our stay and we will recommend the hotel to our friends.

Pros: Location was good, very central. Staff was friendly. The room was clean.

Cons: Breakfast was nice, though it was supposedly from 7-10am, unfortunately they stopped stocking the fresh fruits and juices already before nine... We stayed in a family room, which was actually nothing more than a double with extra bunks (limited weight!) coming from the wall. We had just 1 (one!) chair in a room for four. Bathroom was very small as well. Staff took the dirty towels on the floor every day, though clean ones were only supplied after three days, when they were all finished. The lobby seats were often out of use when conferences had set up tables and posters and ... there.

Pros: Fantastic location. Brilliant views of mountains or marina. Family room only slept four not five so we had two rooms. Beds were fold down from wall so good for kids.

Cons: Nothing very comfortable beds and mini fridge was good too!

Pros: Good location, central to many activities

Cons: Floor was a little dusty.

Pros: Great location, great breakfast, good size room, helpful staff, great shower and a warm room.

Cons: Mattress way too soft, needs a set of drawers or shelves in room to put cloths in,

Pros: Location is near where tours start.

Pros: The hotel has a perfect location. I had a top floor room with an amazing view. Reception staff, specially Guro and Eva, were very welcoming, helpful and friendly.The buffet breakfast was excellent as well as the free waffles in the afternoon. I would definitely return.

Cons: Very difficult to think of something.

Pros: Nice hotel with comfy beds right in the city center. The location is great. We enjoyed a really good breakfast as well.

Cons: View from the hotel room was poor = we had only a window to the restaurant (not outside).

Pros: Nice location very clean and a beautiful view of the mountain and sea.

Cons: Unfortunately, on check-in we showed new pricing on booking.com which was lower than our original booking and the hotel staff agreed to match the new price - to which I swiped my card and authorised. On check out, the price on the receipt given to us had reverted back to the original price and the other staff member was very rude. When trying to explain what had happened on check-in, he used phrases like “it’s not my problem” and “it’s not my fault” and “why are you trying to change the price”. He was completely unreasonable and refused to listen to what we had to say. They updated the price on my credit card to the higher amount which amounted to $68 AUD extra. I have to say that although I enjoyed the stay I will not return to quality saga hotel as I feel cheated and disrespected.

Pros: Great Breakfest

Pros: The landscape, breakfast etc.

Pros: Perfect location in the city centre, very friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable beds, beautiful sea-view. 3 rooms booked together, no problem to have them next to each other. Nice afternoon snack. Interesting decorations and paintings. Guitar at the lobby bar!! Good breakfast.

Cons: If I should point anything here - the noise isolation from outside was not ideal, although not very disturbing. Still it is my first choice in Tromso for next visit, having some comparison with other hotels here.

Pros: This Hotel is amazing. The location is perfectly central just a few steps from the hotel stops the airport express and also the tour buses. The bed is fantasticly comfortable and the rooms are spacious enough. I want to thank the stuff for ordering a birthday cake for my boyfriend, it was just clever done, not too big and without any cream so that we could leave it for a few hours without a fridge. The breakfast buffet is very rich and good quality and I find it just perfect that there is a waffle maker in the afternoon and also and evening meal inclusive. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

Pros: Staff Comfy bed Breakfast very good options Coffee 24hrs

Cons: No alternative arrangements (sandwiches or fruit) for breakfast when checking out at 4am

Pros: 1. Food 2. Location

Cons: 1.Behaviour of reception staff. I had multiple email exchange on offering me sea facing room. But when I went for checkin reception staff rudely denied it. 2. Room was not well maintained.There are multiple breakage mark in wadrobe.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff,

Cons: No real food option for vegetarians.

Pros: Great location and we upgraded to have a room looking over the marina. Well worth it! The room was cosy and warm. Really comfortable. The bed was so comfortable I slept really well.

Cons: Two very small negatives....... I really needed a side table by the bed, but there was only one on the other side. Maybe put something on both sides? When in a cold country, a welcoming hit chocolate after a day walking through snow would be lovely, but there was none to be had. Guests would love this I’m certain

Pros: Great location, 3 minute walk from airport bus shuttle. Beautiful breakfast and dinner buffet included in price. Located on the port . Ferry service at 10 minute walk.

Pros: The location

Cons: The evening meals - this was supposed to be part of our package- However, there were no vegetarian choices or meat free choices other than pasta salads each evening - which is very poor when we paid for evening meals

Pros: The breakfast was excellent, so many options in a hot and cold breakfast and it filled me up for the rest of the day. There is a restaurant attached too so you dont need to go too far to find a good meal. The room was clean and comfortable after nights out in the cold. Great hotel here!

Pros: Central location with plenty of options with restaurants, shopping and transportation. The hotel is located in an old building though the rooms are fully refurbished. Size is small and not much view due to the location being away from the water, though the breakfast is easily one of the best we have ever had.

Cons: A bit pricey for the size and lack of view

Pros: Centrally located in Tromso and therefore a good base for different activities. The breakfast was also surprisingly varied and tasty.

Cons: We found it quite expensive for a 'basic' hotel - but then it was the holiday season and most hotels were fully booked.

Pros: Rooms were well serviced, the breakfast was fantastic and the staff were exceptionally helpful

Pros: We enjoyed the variety of items on the buffet for breakfast. And the hotel was very clean. During our stay there the fire alarm went off at 5:30am. The staff were very professional and able to direct us where to go to evacuate.

Pros: Clean, good location, kind staff, excellent breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very polite and helpful staff. Hotel was lovely and clean and is in a great location.

Cons: Bar and food prices in the adjoining restaurant were very high, so we ate and drank elsewhere.

Pros: Comfortable bed, cleanliness, good wifi connection, few minutes walk to harbor, very good location, abundant fine breakfast, kind staff.

Pros: A nice place to stay in such a small town.

Cons: Maybe some facilities should be upgraded in the future. But generally it was ok.

Cons: small bathroom

Pros: For super short one night stay in Stockholm, don't bother with downtown lodging. Take the arlanda express train. 20min you are in town.

Pros: Great location. Close to bus stops, restaurants, shopping. Outstanding breakfast

Cons: Nothing. Little expensive but the whole town is.

Pros: Our room had an excellent window view, with a super nice reclining chair right in front of it. Location is great, very close to all tours' meetup points. Good restaurants nearby. Room was big and bed was comfortable.

Cons: nothing

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good Location.

Cons: Heater was not functioning throughout the stay and room was a bit small for the price.

Pros: The breakfast is great especially think about it in Tromso..

Cons: The room is too small. If you bring two large suitcases，you will not have enough space to open them up

Pros: Great location to many bus stations.

Cons: My room was in first floor and I can hear noise when tables and chairs moved in restaurant.

Pros: Breakfast

Pros: The location was easy, but I did initially go into Thon Hotel Polar which is across the street. It's a 5 min walk to city center and the airport bus was right on the other side which is easily accessible. You're near all the restaurants and to all the locations for your tours. I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness with the room and how quiet my room was, but no view just a roof of the building next door. Doesn't matter I was only there to sleep because I was out every night chasing the northern lights and basically gone most of the day with other tour groups. The breakfast is phenomenal! I made that a priority since food is so expensive in Tromsø it ended up helping me save a lot of money by the end of my trip I barely spent any money on food. You'll average $30-$40 a meal at most places unless you go to 7-Eleven or Burger King. I'll totally come back the next time I'm in Tromsø!

Cons: My only complaint about the room is that there is no clock, but that's fine because we all have phones now. Really nothing else to complain about because everything was simple and easy. I recommend this hotel for other travelers!

Pros: The beds and pillows were super comfortable. The location was fantastic - in the middle of town and within walking distance to everything. The breakfast was great with a lot of selection.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast and dinner were great, the fish delscious, and breakfast was super smorgas board of choices...and very close to the pedestrian area of the city for shopping etc. my wife had a tooth ache and we even found a dentist who could see her straight away...70m from hotel...how cool is that

Cons: I asked for a double and got two single beds.. sorry not my style ...even when travelling alone...but staff were very helpful and created ease everywhere else in our stay

Pros: the included light meals !

Pros: Friendly, good value hotel in great location by the harbour.

Pros: Cozy and nice

Cons: Could serve breakfast

Pros: The staff are always amazing, they go above and beyond in the northern lights tour and it's a great friendly experience. I can't wait to come back!

Cons: The bed and pillows can be uncomfortable at times , I have scoliosis and sleeping on the top bunk with the odd mattress could have been better, but the experience overall was great!

Pros: Friendly staff, cute hostel dog, great vibes with likeminded people

Cons: Lack of security, only one bathroom between two dorms

Pros: The location is very convenient and allows you to do everything on foot. Besides, you have a supermarket - Joker - across the street which makes life easier. The pet... Burger is so cute!

Cons: I felt the bed a little hard and the bed door made an annoying noise. They could put some lubricant in that door for God's sake :)

Pros: I like nice staff, easy-way to check-in activities around Tromso. It is pretty, functional, with a convenience store in front. A few steps of downtown.

Cons: I cannot remember anything I didn't like. Maybe could be cheaper. ;)

Pros: The beds are wide enough. Available for hot water. Really really professional and responsible Aurora Tour. I had an extraordinary night for seeing the dancing Aurora at least.

Cons: Cold , really cold. Both in the room n bathroom. Better to have Keys for the door.

Pros: The toilets and the showers was clean and tidy

Cons: The mattress was old, hard with mites, the sheets were worn, the pillow was a thin paper, the room had 1 light that illuminates almost nothing. The staff only sees it when you do the check . And the WiFi didn’t work well.

Pros: A clean and warm place to rest after a day in the snow. Plus adorable dog available for cuddles

Pros: The people working there were really nice. Also it was a really cool atmosphere and the other guests were all friendly and chill.

Cons: The shower and toilets are not that clean but it is a Hostel so i guess you can not expect too much...

Pros: Robin was seriously one of the most amazing people that I met during my two week traveling through Europe. He is such a sincere person, with a genuine desire to do exactly what he's doing! I would highly recommend also that everyone who stays there goes on one of his tours.

Pros: Location & Breakfast

Cons: Could have one more draw or a little cupboard for storage... struggled and would have made life more comfortable and convenient

Pros: The location is very good, with easy access to the airport coach and most of Tromsø within easy walking distance. Breakfast was good and the staff were helpful.

Cons: The rooms are very small and not very well equipped. The room felt especially small since it was a double. While this hotel is cheaper than many alternatives in Tromsø, I would not say it represents good value for money.

Pros: Good location and excellent breakfast

Cons: Unbelievably small rooms

Pros: Hotel is very close to the city center, just 5 to 10 minutes to the main locations where tours pick tourists. It also has a lugagge storage to leave the lugagge in case you arrive before check-in or you want to go later. Check-out can be done until 12:00, what is quite important if you are doing aurora tours, which can take until 3 or 4 am. Reception is big, with the possibility of having coffee and tea, as well as eating something there.

Cons: Rooms are a bit small, so if traveling with more than one big suitcases, it might be quite complicated to organise the room with them.

Pros: Can't complain. It's a bit snug in the room, but if you know what you're getting, it's a great deal for the price, especially in pricey Tromsø. The bed was very comfy and the staff was friendly.

Pros: Design, aesthetics, position.

Cons: The rooms are way too small, no space for your luggage, too small for the money, breakfast is not included and the key-cards fail all the times and you have to swap them at the reception. You have a writing on the rooms' wall saying "You Are Smart"... I would change it in "You Are Small"

Pros: Location and silent

Cons: No water for drink and calefaction was not working as well.

Pros: Central location, well set out, rooms are exactly what you need

Cons: Nothing

Pros: very good breakfast buffett... conveniently located near to starting line of midnight sun marathon

Pros: The hotel is super conveniently located; we really liked the hassle-free self check-in process after a long flight! Also, the rooms were more comfy than we expected :-)

Pros: Location

Cons: On day 4 we had new towels and toilet roll....but room not cleaned or no sheets for bed. Complained to staff and they said they would contact housekeeping....nothing was done and we left totally dissatisfied....,

Pros: The location was spot on, it’s very close to almost everything around. We walked the entire time.

Cons: It’s a hotel but services like a hostel. It’s misleading and unfair. No room cleaning, extra towels and all for extra cost. Why say it’s a hotel at all? It’s more a hostel. Rooms are tiny. No kettle or anything in the room. Charges you pay at a hotel.

Pros: Comfortable bed, great pressure shower, friendly staff. Fantastic location!

Cons: Would have preferred 1 big duvet opposed to 2 smaller ones.

Pros: Good location, great staff. Very cosy.

Cons: room was a bit small, but I was only staying for a couple of nights.

Pros: Very convenient as a short walk to the centre of town. Restaurants and Pubs close by. Room and shower is small but nice and clean. Friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: The location was optimal, the check in and out process were fast and easy

Cons: Heating was either off or could not be adjusted, the staff told us how to supposedly use the controls to get the temperature up but it didn't work, so it was a bit cold in the room for our taste

Pros: The facilities beside the reception where you can find snavks and drinks are very helpful

Cons: They clean the rooms only every 4 days.

Pros: Breakfast was super good Friendly staff Good space Spacy bathroom

Pros: A little out of the centre but the views are spectacular. Breakfast is alright, rooms are really spacious and staff is lovely. There's direct bus to Tromso's 'sentrum' from right in front of the hotel.

Cons: More pillows, please.

Pros: The location is beautiful! The breakfast is excellent. The staff is friendly.

Pros: the location and breakfast

Cons: it should have a clock.. ppl coming from different countries.. a bit difficult to keep track of time..

Pros: clean and reasonably priced. Thats it

Cons: Room too small. No thermosatat. taxis back and forth are too expensive. There should be a hotel shuttle to the Library area that runs every half hour and charges no more than 100 per ride. Preferably 50.

Pros: The beds were comfortable. The breakfasts had everything you need. The location is out of town but that's what we liked about it (saw the northern lights walking home one evening). Staff were very friendly and gave us a room upstairs overlooking the water (which we asked for) and also a kettle. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you dont mind walking into town (although there are buses)

Cons: There was nothing about this hotel that I didnt like

Pros: staff was very friendly and helpful

Cons: N/a

Pros: Location room facility

Cons: Breakfast cleaning

Pros: The location, good breakfast, the staff very nice and helpfull. They booked a dog sledding tour for us which was an amazing experience.

Cons: The room was very small but I guess it's a common fact in Tromso.

Pros: Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: The room was hot and stuffy and the bathroom was smelly ( no extractor fan) no tea coffee facilities in the room. Far too expensive for what it is.

Pros: The hotel's location is very central, 2 minutes walk to the bus stop. We stayed at this property as our flight was very early and we wanted to stay in the town center to be close to the airport. There's a supermarket 2 minutes away by walking, for last minute shopping. The area is filled with restaurants, cafes, and bars. The receptionist was very accommodating and made us our breakfast sandwich in advance as we had to leave very early in the morning.

Pros: Compared to other properties it was more affordable. Our room was large (wheelchair access?) and came with 3 single beds, a large bathroom as well as a corner balcony with chairs. Breakfast was mainly eggs, sliced cold meats, fish and cereals.

Cons: Very old fashioned room. Plug sockets power output was extremely poor, we ended up using our power bank to charge the phones overnight. We only met 1 staff member when we checked-in in the evening, we told him about the plug sockets power, he just shrugged and and said he didn’t know then put his headphones back on and continued hoovering.

Pros: Location, that is new.

Cons: Very small room, the quality of the breakfast was very cheap. No all day reception. No TV.

Pros: Nice Staff very helpful - and support and kindness of the staff Good position in the Center

Cons: nothing!

Pros: Excellent location, nice staff, comfy and clean room; very good price

Cons: Breakfast was not wow

Pros: Very basic room, but clean. It's more like a budget hotel, but double the price compared to other countries in Europe. Breakfast was included, which was simple, but convenient.

Cons: Wifi didn't work all time, which was annoying. There was no chair or a small table in the room, so I had to put my things on the floor.

Pros: Big room with really nice and cozy beds. Amazing breakfast buffet. Early check in at 11am was possible.

Cons: No temperature control in the room, not possible to open the windows. Toilet brush was missing as well. Coffee machine at the breakfast room was not working. Receptionist was not able to tell us how much the late check out would be.

Pros: We liked everything. Staff are very nice and kind, food in the breakfast buffet is excellent, rooms are not huge but there were just enough space, heated floors in the bathroom, comfy beds.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Upgrade! Gift from staff

Cons: Beger breakfast

Pros: The location and breakfast. The Family room was big.

Cons: The room was very dusty, specially the water kettle and night lamps. The mugs provided in the room was also dirty, obviously not washed. The floor in the bathroom had a lot of dust and fiber from towels. The switch on the wall was broken and was hanging. Even after complaining, the cleanliness didn’t improve. The receptionist didnt even greet us whenever we arrived in the hotel.

Pros: Bus stop to/from airport almost at the door. Super breakfast, yummy coffee. Central to all we needed. Luggage held for 24hrs after we checked out and I even had some washing delivered to hotel after we checked out and they held it for us with our luggage. That customer service was above and beyond - greatly appreciated.

Cons: Amenities need updating, lift stopped working for a couple of days. Thankfully they had a 2nd one which we only found out about later. Washer/dryer facilities but couldn’t get dryer to work and no one at reception could help. Also, room phone didn’t work, was told it had been that way for months.

Pros: Location was central Breakfast okay Receptionists friendly and helpful

Cons: Room was basic basic No coffee making facilities No paper tissues in bathroom Room needs total revamp Bathroom small no space to put anything Espresso machine at breakfast wasdefect on two days we stayed Also part of the outside was not cleared of the ice snow

Pros: Staff were super friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a great location, central Tromsø. Rooms were perfect size, wry clean and comfortable. Hotel provided free coffee and tea 24/7 and waffles from 6pm to 8pm! Love it!!
