Room was great
In size and comfort, breakfast brilliant and staff helpful, the water for shower could be hotter (just about warm bordering cold). Hotel is in a great location and easy to reach anywhere in tromso
It was a good location and very warm. Price includes breakfast and if you don’t need breakfast one date because you leave before 7am they won’t give you a refund and it is £23 per person. They offer a takeaway breakfast instead which was juice, fruit and a sandwich so not really very good for the price. A refund would have been better.
Amazing hotel and caring staff, informative and incredibly knowledgeable. Hotel,is clean and breakfast is amazing! Central to most places and easy to get around. Thank you
Would, definitely, stay here again…and a great breakfast!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The rooms are well decorated and spacious. The bed was comfortable. The pull out sofa beds are hideous and whenever someone rolls over in the night the sound of springs keeps you awake. The facilities amount to a lounge with free tea and coffee (and water) which are the bare basics. The staff were pleasant enough but none of our issues were resolved. They couldn’t give us a spare pillow which is a hotel basic. The plug in the bathroom sink didn’t work so we could not fill a sink to wash faces or shave. Again, a basic. The restaurant attached to the hotel serves expensive but basic food. That was cold!
The property is in a great location right in the centre of Tromso. Rooms are clean fresh and warm. The breakfast selection was amazing with loads of choice. Would definitely stay there again in the future
