I loved the large window and couch I had in my room, overlooking the mountains and the sea. I was on the top floor. Breakfast is amazing, so much choice for all tastes, and so many Norwegian foods to try. The bed was very good, but I found the storage area (wardrobe, cupboard, drawers) a bit minimal. I also found that the temperature in the room was a bit too hot for me, and I ended up sleeping with the window open. Some of the reception staff were very friendly, some not so much.

Well located, good views and comfy beds

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

A great location and wonderful views

We had a great stay at the Scandic Ishavshotel. After a lot of debate about which hotel to pick we are really pleased with our choice. The location is brilliant - close access to every location and the bus routes. The view from the room is absolutely stunning and the breakfast is delicious any day. We dropped a point for the fact that it is phenomenally busy with a big turn over of guests so we struggled to get a seat at breakfast each morning. We did notice this big turnover also meant that although lovely and friendly the staff didn’t engage as much with guests as they would with a smaller hotel - this isn’t a fault though, more a preference. Can highly recommend for a trip to Tromso.

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!

The property was clean and spacious. The room (Superior Room) wasn’t huge but was a good size and it had a great view into the harbour. The location was great as it was secluded enough, but within walking distance to the rest of the city. Check-in was very easy, although there is a charge if you want to check-in before 2pm (only about £15). Breakfast was okay, but the whilst the food options were vast, I don’t think the quality was great. Unless you go really early, the breakfast is a pretty busy experience.

The hotel could definitely use some work when it comes to certain things. For one, they should have definitely informed that their outlets are European outlets, especially if it’s the guests first time in Europe. EVERYTHING is downstairs which was new to me because even the mini bar is downstairs. Imagine your on the last floor and you need a SINGLE CUP of water…unnecessary. And to top it off they don’t even sell still water only vitamin….dinner in there BARELY exists. You have to have reservations for the restaurant and if you don’t then you have to dine outside and most restaurants you have to have a reservation. Good luck getting same day reservations. I didn’t know they offered a buffet for dinner until the second to last day…not sure why they don’t have it advertised like they do breakfast… However, the view is STUNNING and convenient for people that want to spend a little extra on rooming. The area is in the city so it’s superrr convenient to get ANYTHING. They say to schedule online to clean your room on YOUR time. That’s not true. They clean your room everyday like every other hotel and ingore your “requests” to have it cleaned on a specific day. Not sure why they have that system set up.

The room was terrific. The overbooked our level of room so we were upgraded for the first night. Only a slight hassle to move the next day but both rooms were large, comfortable and well maintained. Perhaps the best part about the stay was the breakfast buffet. It is included in the room and I have never seen so many food options at any buffet. It was all delicious. The location on the water was a big plus and we never had to venture far to get to the meeting point for our tours.
