We loved this place! The family room with the bunk beds was a nice size, the heated floor in the bathroom is great and the property itself is just lovely. All staff were friendly and efficient. The location was fantastic. And the breakfast was a marvel - the barrista was my favorite part but ive not seen one as well done as that. I considered moving to an airbnb and so glad we didnt, this was just perfect.

We had a good view of the marina. The hardwood floors were nice and the heated bathroom floor was really great. Good proximity to shopping and was a stop for airport shuttle and many tours. Overall nice place to stay. Staff was okay, not bad at all but nothing I would say is above and beyond.

The breakfast buffet was delicious. Dinner at roast was the best, super convenient to have dinner in the hotel after a long day of exploring. The hotel is super centralized and walkable around the city, even in the cold climates. Highly recommend for couples or families.

We got booked into a view with a gorgeous view of the harbour, could see the Artic Cathedral and the Tromso Bridge. The hotel is probably in the best location in town, our Northern Lights tour picked up from right outside, food, shopping, grocery stores all walkable. But the room itself was a bit odd, I've never been in a hotel where there was no phone to call the front desk! My shower soap dispenser was broken and I put in requests manually to the front desk and again the next morning to housekeeping who I bumped into in the hall in the morning, but it was never replaced. I had to unscrew the pump from the handsoap dispenser and use that.

Average Hotel stay
Hotel is average, it needs refurb. The location is good. There are lots of conferences taking place so you battle to find a place to sit and eat. Be aware check in time is only 16h00. We paid for sea View room but it is only partially sea-view and you look right into everyone else's room. Some staff were really helpful while others were not, so luck of the draw.

The hotel is located in a great area, facing o fjord and in walking distance to restaurants and shops. My room was very spacious and clean. The shower was a little difficult to maneuver and the door didn’t close easily. The breakfast was wonderful and free!
