The hotel is very well located with a view of the harbor and easy access to the downtown area. It's a great place to spend the night before flying out since it's close to the airport (well, most of Tromso is close to the airport. it's very small).

Wonderful hotel for a stay in Tromsø. Very clean, helpful staff, and in a prime location. Views from our room were spectacular - we spent an afternoon gazing out and reading our books. Plenty of breakfast options that set us up for the day. Super easy access to/from the airport as the Airport Express bus stops directly outside. Cannot fault this hotel, we'll definitely be back one day!

A beautiful hotel. We only stayed one night but they were welcoming and friendly. The room was very nice. We went to the buffet dinner and it was outstanding! It was pretty much the only place we found that had a full vegetarian buffet!

Location is good. If you can get a room with a view that is nice. After that things start to go down hill. Parking is limited and expensive if you get a spot. Service is OK at best for front desk. Service at the restaurant is awful and dinner there was terrible. There are much better hotels close by for same price range but better quality and service.

Great hotel. Great location. Awesome breakfast buffet. Friendly and professional staff. You just reserve parking as hotel spots are limited. But there is plenty of public parking around, though you must keep paying in the app. and not forget to renew time.

It was already night when we arrived and it turned out at the hotel that they didn’t have the room available that we had booked. Staff member at the reception was great, she handled the situation very well. Eventually we got the room where whole family could stay together for that night.
