Top Balsfjord Hotel Reviews

Clarion Hotel The Edge

8/10 Good

"Tiny room, but OK because the floor plan was excellent. Very nice hotel all inn all. Only slight negative: - Too much “green”, environment nagging. - Some of the staff spoke neither Norwegian nor English all that well."

The Dock 69°39 by Scandic

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice new hotel - rooms were clean and well designed, the amenities were great and the location is right on the water. One of my favorite Scandic locations."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Tromso

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Smarthotel Tromso

8/10 Good

"This is a budget hotel. If you want a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom, then it’s for you. If you want space and luxury, then it’s not. We’re the kind of travellers who just need a bed , a bathroom and a good breakfast (if possible), so the Smarthotel suited us very well. The buffet breakfast offered plenty of choice and was good value and the property was centrally located, and convenient for many of the sites, bars, restaurants and also buses. There was a spacious lounge on the ground floor where residents could sit, read, play games and eat The only real downside was the room reminded me a bit of a student hall room, with the bed against one wall and a desk on the other."

Scandic Ishavshotel

10/10 Excellent

"We checked in to our room. Thought it was a shame it looked over the back ( not facing the harbour) but when I spoke to reception they moved us. A great room with all facilities and clean. Views over the harbour were brilliant and general location was 10/10"

Quality Hotel Grand Tromso

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was 10/10. Big great familyroom."

Quality Hotel Saga

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in the town center close to the airport bus stop. Breakfast was one of the best we have had in our travels. Only downside was the amenities, as there was only one sort of shampoo/hand wash/ body wash in the bathroom, and there was no coffee machine in the room. But such small issues were not enough to lower our 5 star review:)!"

Moxy Tromso

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and very quiet room. Small parking lot and have to pay for parking but convenient if there is a spot available. Close to airport. Snacks available in the bar area which was nice."

Malangen Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the junior suite and the room and view were spectacular! We had to leave early and the staff prepared us a breakfast bag to go. Wonderful! We were there for a wedding and the venue was so beautiful. Every attention to detail. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating."
