Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: - Close to transportation: the airport express bus stops right in front of the hotel. The public bus stations are 2 blocks away. - Close to Tromso city center: It is 3-4 blocks away. - View: You can see the port if you select the right room. If you upgrade the room, you can get a beautiful ciew to the water and mountains. - Services to Attractions: if within season (winter) the service office is at the entrance of the hotel, so you do not need to get out to get to tour agencies. - Front desk: everyone speaks English. Most of them are knowledgeable of the area and can give you good advise and ways to move around the city and get to tourist attractions. Cons: - Noise: EXTREMELY noisy (loud). It is right in front of the pub, so you hear the base thumping until they close (1:30 am). - Cleanliness: did not believe the reviews until we got there. They are true. 1) The side of the bed had spills dripping to the floor. 2) The carpeting in all the rooms was stained. 3) One room had a strong cigarette smell, yet the property is non-smoking. 4) When you open or close the curtains, even if you do not have allergies, you start sneezing and coughing from all the dust and dander they have. - Maintenance: Rooms have chipped paint (wood too) everywhere. The ceiling lighting covers are broken (separating). - Food: NO vegan food. Their restaurant (same as the pub) say they have vegan food, but they give you everything with cheese. Good luck lactose intolerants!

Great hotel, we paid for an upgrade for a sea view which is really worth it, the views are spectacular. Super breakfast and front of house staff are really welcoming. As with most good hotels, the bed was super comfy. Where do they get their bed linen!!!!

The breakfast was really the highlight of our stay. Our room (standard) was smaller than expected although it was quiet and we slept well. We signed up to not have our room cleaned everyday but we were there for 4 nights and we didn’t get our towels changed once (and the suggestion was that we would). The shower set-up means that the floor was soaking after we showered and so 2 of our towels were used to soak up the water. Separately we found the staff to be pleasant on the whole and the views from the hotel were lovely. The hotel was very expensive for us but we accept that is the norm for Norway.

We appreciate your understanding regarding pricing in Norway.Your feedback is invaluable, and we hope to welcome you back for an improved experience.

Liked: Cleanliness
the location was great and Christian was very helpful when I checked kit. I was very disappointed in the lack of food options. There is only a $23 breakfast buffet, no food at all other than that. I had to go out for coffee every morning. The pub has no food. Also a very limited number of TV channels for an international hotel.

Main Pick-up point for all the excursions right on our doorstep. Harbour for boat trips, seafood, great food/restaurants, main high street and supermarkets really close by. I’m a bit unsteady (age and hip replacement!) so being able to not feel rushed/stressed and enjoy the snow underfoot, feel part of things and start all the tours feeling happy and confident was fantastic. Room was lovely and warm, housekeeping excellent and plenty of working lifts to get up and down. Breakfast had fantastic choice and good value.

This hotel was situated close to where a lot of excursions depart. But otherwise the better dining and shopping options are on the main street. The sidewalks are not shoveled and the snow turns to ice, it's a treacherous walk to restaurants. The room had a nice view, breakfast was ok, the housekeeping staff was aggressive. I was woken up every morning with the sound of their carts and vacuum, one entered the elevator with the giant cart before checking to see if anyone was inside (I had to shout hello for her to notice me). I wouldn't stay here again.

Outstanding service. Friendly staff. The breakfast was delightful. The views from our room were stunning. We stayed here at the beginning and the end of our arctic circle adventure and would stay again.
The sauna was gorgeous—but didn’t work while we were there.

We had 2 nights at this hotel after disembarking from the Hurtigruten cruise. We had a family room with a king size bed. The room was spacious & the bed & pillows were very comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful & friendly. The hotel is in a great location from where the cruise disembarked & to the city centre, which was all within walking distance.

Disappointing front desk service
Front desk staff was not very helpful. Even the manager could not properly direct us when we asked about parking. All they had to do was tell us to put Tromso Parkering in Google. They also didn’t know that the tunnel parking rate has a daily cap They are clueless. This is their tiny little city and being in the hotel industry. they should know these things to help guests. We went to a nearby hotel and the person there was so much more helpful even though we were not staying there. Disappointing service! Staff needs more training!!

Dear Natu,We are so sorry that you had problems with parking during your stay. There is parking close to the hotel where you need to pay a fee. There is also some spots space near the hotel which is free in the evening and the parking tunnel that you also mention here. We will have a new review with the employees regarding parking so that everyone has the same information for our guests. We wish you a warm welcome back. Sincerely, Sandra, Front Office Manager
