"The one-bedroomed apartment with sea view we rented was very clean and well furnished. The kitchen was more than adequately equipped and the fan quickly removed any food smells. We loved the location of the apartment. We not only had an exceptional view across the water, but we were also very close to bus stops (and the bus system in Tromsø is very inexpensive and efficient), the downtown area. A large grocery store, small but diverse shopping mall and Ølhallen, Tromsø’s oldest pub and historic...

"Lovely apartment, at a good price. Really good value for money compared to the rest of accommodations in the country. The breakfast was good, the apartment clean and spacious, and located in the city centre. The sound insulation of the apartment could be improved, but the town is quite so after 10-11 pm it was ok. There is no lift but our apartment was on the 2nd floor (GF+1) and it was not a problem. "

Top Polar Museum Hotel Reviews

Clarion Hotel The Edge

8/10 Good

"Very good location, expensive (but what isnt in Norway), very good breakfast (but pricey!)"

First Hotel Skansen

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a great location in easy walking distance of waterfront ."

Comfort Hotel Xpress Tromso

8/10 Good

"No parking or bag/guest drop off spot, room overly warm with only able to slightly open the window on 5th floor. Self-checkin was quick and directions to make your key card self-explanatory, food/drink counter has service person that was helpful. Parking is very expensive in public underground garage near the hotel up to 450NOK/day or 40NOK/hr."

The Dock 69°39 by Scandic

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was one of the biggest surprises of our trip. Everything felt absolutely brand new. In fact, we joked that we might have been the first guests to stay in our room. It was immaculately clean, beautifully designed, and every detail felt fresh and modern. The amenities are outstanding. We were genuinely disappointed that our stay was so short because we never had the chance to experience the Arctic Spa. The rooftop glass bubble structures looked incredible and are reason enough to come back. The hotel itself has done a fantastic job helping transform this part of Tromsø. It’s modern, welcoming, and offers an experience that goes well beyond what you’d expect from a typical hotel stay. If you’re visiting Tromsø, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here. The rooms, the amenities, and the overall quality made this one of our favorite hotels of the entire trip. Highly recommended."

Scandic Ishavshotel

10/10 Excellent

"We checked in to our room. Thought it was a shame it looked over the back ( not facing the harbour) but when I spoke to reception they moved us. A great room with all facilities and clean. Views over the harbour were brilliant and general location was 10/10"

Quality Hotel Grand Tromso

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was 10/10. Big great familyroom."

Home Hotel With

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing place. Right on the Harbour and you can see the boats at the harbour from your window. The staff was extremely kind and very helpful. In particular, Edda (?) was an example of what this service should be. To top it off, breakfast afternoon, coffee/tea, and dinner were all free. This Home Hotel would get my top recommendation."

Thon Hotel Polar

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Quiet and a few blocks from the docks. Nice breakfast buffet."

Quality Hotel Saga

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in the town center close to the airport bus stop. Breakfast was one of the best we have had in our travels. Only downside was the amenities, as there was only one sort of shampoo/hand wash/ body wash in the bathroom, and there was no coffee machine in the room. But such small issues were not enough to lower our 5 star review:)!"
