Very Good

Staff were absolutely lovely, the room was very good in size and decently clean. The hotel is modest, so fixtures aren’t latest and greatest, but I was very comfortable staying there for 4 nights. The continental breakfast was delicious and totally worth it to start our excursion days fully energised. Would recommend!
Absolutely amazing hotel excellent value for money spotlessly clean and super friendly staff. Lucy from main reception was fantastic from check in to check out she is a huge asset to the team very helpful. The hotel location is very good close.to all restaurants and main square. The rooms are cosy and clean very well heated. Breakfast was plenty of choice and again well stocked and always clean. I would reccomend Skansen hotel 100% and would stay again.
Room was great for a solo traveller. Single bed was comfortable and the room was heated well. The bathroom was huge and shower was great. One morning I had no hot water but staff helped and sorted it. Location was excellent! Right at the end of the Main Street with a 5 minute walk to most things. Plenty of food and bar options around the area.
While the price during the time I was there was far too much for what it was - compared to the rest of the area it was decent.
Its a very quaint and nice hotel. Offers breakfast in the mornings and has lounge areas. Very close to the port where i was leaving from and within walking distance of most shops and restaurants. Overall a great place to stay.

Great simple hotel in excellent location! Great value for the money but forget luxury.
Close to the centre of Tromso, yet half the price of the downtown accomodation. Good value, easy walking, clean yet simple room with modern bathroom and good hearty breakfast each morning.
Terrific place to stay in Tromso. Super clean, great location, nice staff. Continental breakfast is very decent with fresh bread, fruits, some meats and much more. Located just a block from the heart of town. Would easily stay here again. Great value.
Genuinely happy I booked with Hotell Skansen. They went above & beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant & enjoyable. Perfect service with perfect staff & manager!
We were very comfortable at Enter Skansen. The hotel feels new, the room was spacious and the buffet breakfast was filling. The location is a short walk to the central attractions. Paid parking is available nearby. The only negative comment I could make is the noise of the winter car tyres managed to penetrate the double glazed windows, so we heard every car drive by.
Quick check in and check out,
Very friendly hotel owners and staff,
Room is very minimalistic but you have everything what you need, bed is comfortable,
Breakfast is OK, no plant based milk offering,
Very close to city center and bus station to the airport
