While simple, this hotel was clean, modern, and very centrally located. While it may seem pricey in comparison to other cities, for Norway this was very reasonably priced AND included a very full and delicious breakfast. They even had gluten free and lactose free options available. The front desk staff was great with answering all of our questions. They offer... More

An ideal hotel. Friendly staff on reception. Brilliant choice for breakfast and served 'til noon. Free wifi. I stayed on business but would come back for pleasure. Good location but no parking on site. Public parking 3 minutes walk away.

We had a superior room on the 7th floor, the room itself and the bathroom were large for European standard. The bed was comfortable but a double bed were just two small beds put together. The...

We stayed in a superior family room on the 7th floor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the Hotel was even better than we thought it would be. Lovely view from room-up the hill-of the wooden houses & a very large pretty building we think was the town hall. Three of us stayed-myself & partner & Mother in law. It... More

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in February, when we went to Tromso to view the Northern Lights. The staff were all efficient, very friendly and helpful and we were well looked after. We were assigned a "quiet" Superior room (we hadn't asked for "quiet") which was larger than the normal standard room and we were pleased with... More
