The views from the rooms with the view of the sea are simply stunning. We spent a lot of time watching the world go by outside. It was well worth the additional cost!
Right on the harbor, conveniently located near everything downtown, beautiful views of the bridge and harbor from the dining area (and some rooms). Breakfast was plentiful and had a great variety. Would recommend!
We greatly enjoyed our stay! It is convenient to shopping and restaurants and has a beautiful view of the harbour and mountains! Staff were courteous and helpful.
The breakfast buffet has many many incredible offerings, including gluten free grains, bread, and much more! 4 varieties of pickled herring! The Chef is friendly and knowledgeable about GF items.
The hotel location is pretty good . Nice view.
Convenient to walk around shopping and restaurant.
Can click photo with beautiful view.
Airport Express available infront of hotel timely.
The hotel is situated in the area you ideally want to be as a tourist visiting Tromso. Most excursions meetups are nearby, bus to/from the airport stops in front of the hotel, just a short walk to convenience stores and restaurants.
They also offer tons of breakfast options catering to all kinds of dietary needs. Also, they’re bathroom floors are heated which is very nice to have for winter stays.
Good location in central Tromso beside the harbour, with easy parking beside the property and just a few minutes walk to the centre and lots of shops, restaurants etc.
Comfortable beds and an amazing breakfast buffet with loads of cooked, continental and local choices
Airport shuttle bus stops directly outside the hotel

The rooms were nice. Our room overlooked the fjord so the view was beautiful! The included breakfasts were delicious and they offered selections for every taste. The hotel is close to the bus station and right in the center of town. Great choice!
Rooms were small and housekeeping was available, but needed to be requested. Location for tour pickup is excellent!

Ideally located in Tromsø Sentrum. Pleasant & professional staff. Easy taxi & bus service. Clean & great breakfast. Unfortunately the roof is closed during the winter so we were unable to use it for aurora viewing.
