The room was clean and the hotel was nice. The lighting in the room was very dark though. Our room was also unfortunately positioned by the street and it was very loud at night. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and the staff was polite.

Lovely clean room with stunning view. Centrally placed hotel. Staff were friendly, especially the restaurant staff. Breakfast was so good, with plenty to choose from, the fresh breads were amazing. We payed for dinner at the restaurant and cannot fault the buffet or the wine line. Would definitely recommend and stay here again

The staff were very friendly and helpful The room, though it wasn’t big was enough for 2 people Great view of the waterfront The breakfast was lovely. Absolutely anything that you could want. Great location by the waterfront and only a 5 min walk to the next harbour to into the town Highly recommended for a trip to Tromso.

Room fine with harbour/mountain view. Flipside was that various ships docked overnight right below the hotel. These ships all had some kind of generator on board which made quite a lot of noise all night. I know this has nothing to do with the hotel as such but just a heads up that choosing a room with City view is probably better for some.
