Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was super friendly and helpful! The breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety of options. One thing to note, which is not on the hotel, is that the noise from outside did carry into the room, so earplugs are a good idea if you are a light sleeper. Luckily, the hotel has them at the desk! We would definitely consider staying here again!

Really helpful staff, could not do enough to help and support our stay. Reassurance and guidance as given when we had to order a really early taxi to collect us for our flight home. They even provided a packed lunch/food for the journey as we would be far to early to enjoy the breakfast at the hotel. Complimentary tea and coffee provided all day, with the added bonus of waffles in the late afternoon too. Lovely personal touch. Strongly recommend this quiet downtown hotel. Would definitely book again if I was heading to Tromso.

The room is Spartan, to say the least but I knew that coming in. Bed is very comfortable and really all I wanted because don’t really want to spend much time sitting in a room! The staff is lovely and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. Nothing was ever empty for more than a second and it was replaced.

Disliked: Staff & service
We were transferred at late notice to sister hotel (Skansen) which didn't meet our expectations in terms of room size or quality. Location was also far less convenient. Staff at Skansen were, though, helpful and friendly. As we had booked three rooms, it wasn't appropriate to initially try and just move one room to the other hotel. We feel this could have been handled far better by the Company.

Really pleased with this hotel! Was in a great location, staff were lovely and friendly, everything was clean. Breakfast, waffles, cakes and hot chocolates were great! There was a drip from under the sink in my room which I did report but I presume that they were waiting for a plumber to fix as it wasn't sorted when I was still there. They even left chocolates in my room as I said I was staying for a special occasion.
Single room. Had everything I needed.
