"The Dock is in a great location in Tromso and the breakfast buffet was quite good! We enjoyed being close to Vervet center for restaurants and a great bakery right around the corner. The restaurant was good, upstairs bar was beautiful to sit in but dinner there was quite pricey for what you got. Parking is in the next building but not too far but the they do have shuttle buses that run like every hour to the airport if you don’t want to rent a car. Also sauna is $40 Nok for 1.5 hours. Enjoyable stay!"
