Lindsey Anne

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The rooms are well decorated and spacious. The bed was comfortable. The pull out sofa beds are hideous and whenever someone rolls over in the night the sound of springs keeps you awake. The facilities amount to a lounge with free tea and coffee (and water) which are the bare basics. The staff were pleasant enough but none of our issues were resolved. They couldn’t give us a spare pillow which is a hotel basic. The plug in the bathroom sink didn’t work so we could not fill a sink to wash faces or shave. Again, a basic. The restaurant attached to the hotel serves expensive but basic food. That was cold!

Fantastic stay at Hotel Thin Polar in Tromso. Conveniently located near good restaurants, museums and sites. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful with extra information about transit and directions around the hotel. The room is efficient, clean, bed comfy. Hotter water in the shower would have been exceptional but adequate as is. The breakfast buffet is amazing!! Full board of every kind of breakfast wanted, both Norwegian and other cultural fare, including a very good array of gluten free food. I highly recommend Hotel Thon Polar.
