"Every time I passed the reception except one time it was unoccupied. Several people were waiting. There was no way to adjust the temperature in the room or open the window. Yes there was a thermostat but it had no effect."

"All fine. "

"Very disappointing that the hot tub was broken and had not been used for weeks. There was no attempt to fix it. When we arrived the main light in our room didn’t work and the kettle was also broken. However the location of the Hotel was perfect. Very central, with lovely views of the harbour. The breakfast, afternoon tea and evening meals were great and included in the price."

"Great location on the water while also in the city center. Breakfast was also good with many choices of food and beverage. Always seemed full with guests which also meant that check in was not until mid to late afternoon as they noted on their site. "

"This hotel is in a great spot in the middle of all the shops in Tromsø. There was a small parking deck under the hotel that we took advantage of. We were able to walk to all the sites in the downtown area. Polaria was a short walk which was very nice. We were able to see the seals which my wife loved. We did not take advantage of the restaurant or bar at the hotel, but we were surrounded by options a short walk away. We loved our stay here and would stay again."

"Room very clean "

"We booked here because some family members stayed 9 years ago and loved it, so we weren't as careful with checking reviews as we would normally be. The resort is very far from 4*. The apartments are tired and basic. The soft furnishings (sofa, cushions and blanket) in the living room are dirty and smelly. The bedrooms are tiny, with just beds and no other furniture, not even a bedside table. The shower cubicles are cheap plastic. The only great thing is the view over the fjord. If the weather is good then I'm sure it's a fantastic place to see the Northern Lights but if it's cloudy, as it was during our visit, then you won't see anything and you're stuck in one location. The activities are run by a separate company and the staff are lovely but completely untrained. We booked a trappers experience day, where we were meant to learn about local flora and fauna, and how to make a fire. In reality, it was just a snowshoe hike, which was gorgeous and fun but not what we thought we were getting. Our guide had only been at the resort for a few weeks and had been given minimal training, so didn't know the area very well (not his fault, he was doing his best). We also found out that some of the activities staff live in tiny near the dog yard in extremely basic conditions. There was actually a fire while we were there - likely caused by unsafe electrics (no injuries thankfully). The sauna was also not working properly. On the plus side, the hotel staff were friendly. "
