Vacations Close To Polar Museum

Loved the property but after we left the host tried to scam us by saying we left the place without tidying up. He wanted 1000NOK/£70. I told him we videoed the entire place showing it was spotless before we left, and he quickly told us to not worry about the 1000NOK. The place was also advertised as a 3 bedroom house yet he failed to tell us that one of the bedrooms is his private bedroom and is not to be used! I would return to Finnsnes, but never to this place.

The house was very clean and in great condition and we were able to see the northern lights right from the house which made it more wonderful 😀

We stayed in the igloo, glamping! What an amazing experience! It was amazing. Clean, new, beautiful, comfy bed and lounge chairs, fireplace and incredible view of ocean, mountains and northern lights! The staff was amazing! Very helpful and hospitable. Breakfast was brought to the room in a picnic box, warm, yummy and a ton of food fresh and made as requested. The dinner was delicious!!! Great experience! Make sure to wear warm clothing, layered with good boots and you'll absolutely love the experience!

Our three‑night stay in the Whale Apartment at Steam pier near Tromsø was genuinely wonderful. The space itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and offered fantastic panoramic views that made every morning feel special. The bed was super comfortable, the apartment was quiet, and the location struck the perfect balance — peaceful, yet still close enough to Tromsø to explore easily. What truly elevated our stay, though, was the exceptional staff. As we checked in, the two young people who welcomed us were an absolute delight. Both the young lady and the young man were wonderfully kind, genuinely helpful, and greeted us with bright, happy smiles that instantly made us feel welcome. Their friendliness and positive energy set the perfect tone for our stay and left a lasting impression. Parking: Parking is straightforward, but you do have to pay, and this is clearly stated in advance. Please don’t take it out on the staff when you arrive — they’re not responsible for the parking fees. Just factor the cost into your budget or choose accommodation with free parking if that suits you better.
