What people say

For a basic hotel this place is really rather good; the breakfast room was spotless with quite a selection of cold food (but no fruit). I particularly liked the heated floor in the bathroom and my single room was clean, large enough with a comfy chair to sit in and a large table on which to organise my bits & pieces. The bedside lamp didn't work but was changed when I told reception about the problem. It is close to the town centre and about 50 metres from a bus stop from which a no 42 bus.
all reviews » First of all: this is Norway, which means higher standards and the need for (much) deeper pockets. Having this is mind, the hotel was just fine; you get what you pay for. The breakfast is included in the price, which is something really valuable in this part of the world; the food was ok. The staff was excellent. I asked for a room with a view, I got it. Asked for a taxi, they made the reservation for the morning. Everything was just in place, without great fuss. To conclude: the place is simpl. Good location for walking around Tromso and getting to the museums and over the bridge to the arctic cathedral. Used bus no. 42 to get to the airport in 15 minutes, bus stop only 2 minutes walk from the hotel! Nice buffet breakfast. Good wi-fi and free internet access on PC in reception. The location is perfect, though the street is a bit noisy. Cosy room with a nice view from the window. Friendly and helpful staff. Good buffet breakfast, where we first tasted Norwegian cheese Fløtemysost and we fell in love with it!. The staff were brilliant and extremely helpful. I had a room with a great view across to the mountains and the harbour. The hotel is close to the shops, harbour and the local bus to the airport is less then 50m up the road. Excellent genuinely helpful staff response to any issues and questions including tours, shopping. Excellent breakfast room and good selection of buffet food. Good location on main street. Comfortable room with good view. Good breakfast with wide variety of food options. Staff friendly and helpful. Great location with easy access to town. Central location, 7-10 minutes to the Center, 2 minutes to the bus-stop. Good internet, nice view. Personal is perfect! enough low price. Very friendly and helpful staff, central location, completely equipped, breakfast included and aptly timed. Very good place, friendly and attentive staff, would definitely book again if visiting Tromso. Welcoming, warm and very comfy bed. Breakfast self service reasonable choice. Price and location. OK room, should have more TV-channels. Nice view, everything worked ok. Breakfast and location. The location was very handy to the central shopping area and a short walk to Tromso Polar Museum, Perspective Museum and The Art Museum or Norther Norway. Also within walking distance to Polaria. Breakfast was quite adequate tho rather basic. The view from our room across the water and of the Tromso Bridge and Arctic Cathedral was a lovely surprise - especially beautiful at night. The room, tho' small, was comfortable enough for our two night stay. Staff were helpful. The complete absence of fruit at breakfast was a major disappointment. I have no serious complain. Bed was VERY soft. Wi-Fi signal was very weak in our room. It would be nice to have tea/coffee facilities in room. nothing. Weak but usable wifi. Breakfast is very pure. Altough complete, the hotel is a little 'worn' around the edges, our room was on the small side, tv: norwegian channels only- not a real problem any of that. Parking behind the hotel, however, is 100kr/14 € per day extra. There was nothing we did not like. We had a dressing table which vibrated due to some generator or other located in the corridor outside our room, somewhat annoying when items on the table took flight. Well, Norway is very expensive and this is a cheap hotel in those standards, but I think the breakfast could still be improved. Apart from coffee, I can't boil hot water. We stayed in January 2013 and the icy footpath on the hill climb (not steep) to the hotel from the town centre was at times quite slippery.(Not a fault of the hotel tho.) Would be nice to have tea/coffee facilities in room. Altho' the hotel was clean the interior appeared old and tired.
