The room wasn't very clean, the cleaners came around once before 9am and if you had do not disturb up they didn't come back, just left a bag of towels. Breakfast buffet was good, it would be nice for the hot food to be hotter. Breakfast staff very nice. Front desk staff some nice , some not so nice.
Very basic room , it was unclean . The staff who checked us in not helpful at all . The one who checked me out was helpful and nice .
Food smell in the room
Very expensive for the kind of hotel . Better places in tromso

Excellent location, large and tidy rooms, excellent service, excellent breakfast.
The lady at the reception when we checked in was extremely helpful and really lovely. Comfortable rooms, and fantastic breakfast - much better than I expected. The lounge and gym were great too!
It was a good location and very warm. Price includes breakfast and if you don’t need breakfast one date because you leave before 7am they won’t give you a refund and it is £23 per person. They offer a takeaway breakfast instead which was juice, fruit and a sandwich so not really very good for the price. A refund would have been better.
Room was isolated and inaccessible. The room was far from lift and required us to carry 3 20kg+ suitcases and multiple bags up an extra two fleets of stairs to reach. We broke one of our suitcases wheels trying to carry it up. We asked hotel staff for help after they told us no room exchange was possible and they dismissed us saying “just empty out the suitcases to make it lighter and make a few trips” then we were told they wouldn’t help carry because “it’s not part of Norway culture”. Then upon checkout we asked for a later checkout as we realised the bags took a longer time to take down and were only given an extra 10 mins which didn’t cover mutiple trips. My little sister can’t carry heavy weight and my mum who has has ops back surgery was super concerned with the heavy lifting. Unacceptable service. Breakfast was lacking in variety too, and the room linen had minor stains and bathroom was old too. Corridors were had to navigate and seemed unclean due to carpeting.
Incredible location, friendly and helpful staff and two back to back nights of the Northern Lights dancing across the Tromso skies. Highly recommended. Egon, the restaurant is fab. The Pizza buffet before 6pm is exceptional.
