Great location, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Family room was perfect for families all wanting to share a room, with bunk beds for the kids. Room was small, but perfectly fine. Heated floor in the bathroom helped keep things dry!
The room was clean and the hotel was nice. The lighting in the room was very dark though. Our room was also unfortunately positioned by the street and it was very loud at night. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and the staff was polite.
We had a fantastic time, the breakfast is a must (and a great way to start the day!). The rooms are a little small but they’re manageable. Staff are all lovely. Perfect location to be central. Would 100% stay again.
Lovely clean room with stunning view. Centrally placed hotel. Staff were friendly, especially the restaurant staff. Breakfast was so good, with plenty to choose from, the fresh breads were amazing. We payed for dinner at the restaurant and cannot fault the buffet or the wine line. Would definitely recommend and stay here again
We enjoyed our 17-night stay. It was a great hotel and all staff were excellent.
Our only wish was for two items in our room: a microwave and a chest of drawers.

Nice hotel in the heart of Tromso , but if your room is facing the pub you won’t be able to sleep till 3am or 4 am !
Some of staff were not friendly and couldn’t speak English !
The staff were very friendly and helpful
The room, though it wasn’t big was enough for 2 people
Great view of the waterfront
The breakfast was lovely. Absolutely anything that you could want.
Great location by the waterfront and only a 5 min walk to the next harbour to into the town
Highly recommended for a trip to Tromso.
Room fine with harbour/mountain view. Flipside was that various ships docked overnight right below the hotel. These ships all had some kind of generator on board which made quite a lot of noise all night. I know this has nothing to do with the hotel as such but just a heads up that choosing a room with City view is probably better for some.
A variety of breakfast available.
Nice and clean area with friendly staff.
