Excellent stay in a perfect location to explore Tromso. The room had a beautiful view over the marina and towards the snowy mountains. Despite being cold outside, the room was lovely and warm and the beds were soft and comfortable. Would highly recommend this hotel and hope to visit again one day.

Great location on the water while also in the city center. Breakfast was also good with many choices of food and beverage. Always seemed full with guests which also meant that check in was not until mid to late afternoon as they noted on their site.

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.

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.
