I had emailed in advance about early check in and understood it was based on availability. The rooms became available while I was sitting in the lobby. Would've been nice if someone had mentioned it to me as I was right next to them. That's my only complaint. Everything else was exceptional!

Perfect location in Tromso on harbour front. Bus stop for Airport Express immediately outside. Many tour groups have pick up at hotel or within 5kin walking distance. Most sights easily walkable Buffet breakfast is very generous, wide variety including tasty local food.

I didn't much enjoy the Christmas party with the dueling bands in the party rooms that I could hear on the 6th floor as well as having to push through the party crowd in the lobby to get to the elevators. That's the only complaint I have. View was excellent. Location was great.

Could have been amazing but fell short.

I want to start with the good because this hotel really could have been amazing. The reasons for the poor review will become clear later. First, the breakfast... amazing! So much variety, fresh, generally well made and delicious. Honestly I think I gained 1kg from this breakfast alone. The first two days we were at the hotel everything was amazing and well catered. The staff was friendly and helpful. In fact I proposed to my partner on this trip and the bar tender gave us glasses to take up with our bubbly. The problems... first was the bed, which was horrible. Not even remotely comfortable. I'd take my backpacking pad and pillow over that mattress. The big problem... on our second day we got up early for a day trip and upon arrival found out that there was a concert going on in the hotel. No warning, no notification, just "welcome back to a bunch of drunk people in the lobby". We literally had to push our way through a crowd to get to the elevator. We then had to go out for dinner, repeat above. And on getting back, again... drink crowd, no control by the hotel staff. People literally leaning on the no smoking sign at the entrance, sticky floors, generally a horrible environment to come back to. There was no effort to control the crowd or ensure guests could reach the elevator. There was no effort to warn us. The side effect of this was our last morning the hotel was still a mess and the staff seemed over whelmed probably because they had less help after the party.

So glad we chose this hotel. Great accommodations!!Everything was neat and clean. Incredible breakfast that came with the stay. The food accommodated so many people from so many countries. I have never seen a free breakfast spread like this before. Our tours met at the hotel or close by the hotel. Close to shops and dining. Easy to walk to and get to everything. I would highly recommend and I would stay there again!!

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.
