Arrived at around 2200h by car, hard to find the hotel which is located on the opposite side of the city center island, far from restaurants and shopping. Was hungry, the bar was open, but nothing to eat except prepackaged sandwiches for sale in the reception - of which there was none left. Reception said they tried to get the kitchen to make more sandwiches but they did not have the ingredients (!). Beer and some nuts all that was offered. Very standard no-frills rooms, those looking west are best with nice views over surrounding mountains and the midnight sun (if in summer). Also ideal for planespotters thanks to the view over Tromsoe airport. Ventialtion was not working at all the first night.

Having stayed at other hotels from the same chain, this one was rather dissapointing. First of all, it was miles from the town centre and even though the rooms were well furnished and comfortable, the corridors and the reception area could do with an update and looked raher depressing. Their staff was friendly and courteous (like all Norwegians) and the breakfast selection was good. The one thing that stoped me from giving this hotel a 2 rating are: - The fabulous views from the room - Free internet in the rooms. Don't let this hotel review put you off going to Tromso, it is one of the most beautiful places I have visited in my life. Truly espectacular.

Very clean. Located near the airport. Sauna, pool. Supermark "polarsenteret" at a walk distance. Only one bad staff: quite far from downtown Tromso.
