"From the moment we arrived we were a bit thrown off. The lobby was full of guests waiting to check in but the desk clerk would not process anyone before 3pm, even though rooms were obviously ready. So we waited in a long queue, with only one person working, to finally get checked in. This is not how you want to start your stay, especially after a long day of travel.
We were in Tromso celebrating my husband's birthday so I opted for a room upgrade at a cost of an extra $220 for 3 nights, bringing our grand total to $1320. To say the room was not worth that price is an understatement. Small, dingy, ourdated and unclean. We had a small balcony, but it was covered in snow, so were tracking snow in and out of the room. Also, I had advised we were coming for a special occasion and the hotel offered no gesture, which is surprising and disappointing.
The hotel offered meals which is convenient for some guests. The breakfast seemed reasonable but the dinner was a sad affair. On our last night, they served chicken egg rolls as a main course.
There was a roof top jacuzzi but, not only did you have to reserve time in 30 minute blocks, you had to pay for it!
When we checked out, I expressed my disappointment and also showed photos of the room's poor condition. The staff person refunded me $60. What an insult!
If you can find alternate accommodations in Tromso, take it. "
