Tromso Hostels

Arriving in Tromso, I felt like I was in the Arctic Circle as soon as I got off the plane. It was so beautiful! The hotel was great and the stay was great. The breakfast was very rich, in a buffet style, with a lot of food. The location of the hotel was very good. It was very convenient to walk to the pier to see the Arctic Cathedral on the other side and the Tromso Bridge. It was also very close to the main street, just a few minutes' walk away. Highly recommended!

located in CBD, with all amenities nearby, good aircon, comfortable bed, good sound insulation, except when there is music in some bar. kick scooters ryde are available everywhere. Since my last visit 10 ys ago, there has been a lot of positive developments, public transport is good as well as some real estate investment and all that goes with it in the area.

What I liked - the location, the staff, comfortable bed, breakfast. What could be improved - add espresso/cappuccino machine and pastries , there was a sign in the room saying the room is cleaned on Tuesday, but nobody came to empty at least the garbage (there is only 1 small bin in the bathroom). The rooms are not sound proof, so noise is coming both from the street and from the corridor, so bring an ear plugs.

Very nice hotel with fantastic staff. It's a modern hotel and sort of designed like a ship. It's located right on the waterfront - make sure you get one of the corner rooms that feesl like it juts out into the harbor and has great views of the water, the comings and goings of the ferries and the not-so-distant peaks. The rooms are somewhat on the smaller side but very nicely appointed and quiet. The breakfast spread is perfectly fine. But a special shoutout to the checkin staff - Johannes and Torkel - both of whom were courteous, friendly and really helpful.

Great hotel with a great view if facing the sea. Good location as most tour has a meeting point nearby. Fantastic breakfast. The only minus point is that..the front desk reception staffa are very rigid. They wouldn't let you check in even if room is ready 1hr before check in at 3pm. Official check in time is 4Pm. Overall..its a fantastic hotel.

The breakfast food was good, the location was good, and the refreshments were good. I didn’t try dinner. Those with Aurora tours at the reception are very convenient. The only drawback is that the room card cannot be photographed. Every time the room card opens the door, sometimes it cannot be connected and has to be handled at the reception desk. The sound insulation is a little bit different.

The best way to describe this hotel is average in every way. Everything in Tromso is ”central” - it's not a big place so that isn't really a selling point. The rooms are very small (even the ”deluxe” ones) and there are only two elevators for a pretty sizable 8 story hotel so get ready for the stairs. I paid extra to be on the 8th floor because I read the reviews about the nightclub underneath and boy they were right - I could hear thumping well into the night so bring your earplugs (the club appears to only be open Thursday - Saturday so if you're travelling outside of that, I'm sure it's more tolerable to try to sleep). Hindsight being 20/20, I would've paid $30-40 more to stay at one of the better rated hotels.

The hotel could not be in a better location for exploring Tromso and provides very good value. It was easy to travel to and from the airport (although we admittedly got a short taxi) and visit the sights (including getting a bus to the Arctic Cathedral). The room was small, but great value for what we had paid. We were mainly using it as a base in between trips and sightseeing, so it did the job nicely. We had twin beds, a desk and chair, an armchair and a long mirror. The bathroom was also very good - there was always hot water and the shower offered a good water pressure, making it easier to wash your hair after being caught in a snowstorm! The breakfast buffet offered a great selection of food, including my favourite - brown cheese. I would be happy to stay there again.
