Cat & Dog Friendly Hotels in Balsfjord

"Amazing stay! The view was GORGEOUS from our Junior Suite. Wow! It comfortable fit the three of us (2 adults + 1 teenager) ... The breakfast was fantastic and a delicious spread. Walkable location -- we were able to maximize our two days in Tromso, the most beautiful city. Our hearts are with Norway. Thanks for a fantastic stay! We hope to visit again in the future. "

"Room was spacious enough, staff was attentive, breakfast offered a lot of options."

"Perfect location for tour pick ups, close to the centre of town and right on the water"

"Room very clean "

"close to major atteactions so walking is very feasible. near affordable restauranta. tip. most establiahmenrs are closed or operate with shorter hours on Sundays. they have a laundry facility ! get yourself booked to use the facility ( first come first served) as the usual cycle takes around 5 hours for one cycle of washing and drying. worth 9 kr per load - is a game changer for travellers.

"I stayed at Home Hotel Aurora - a waterfront hotel - for my first solo travel last March 6-9. I chose this hotel for the following reasons: Complimentary buffet: breakfast, fika (afternoon sweet snacks), and dinner. The food choices were enough to satisfy your palate. Facilities include a sauna and gym. For an additional 600 NOK, you can enjoy a 30-minute usage of the rooftop jacuzzi. Location - it's in the middle of Tromsø Havn and it's walking distance to Størgata. The airport bus drop-off/pick-up is a 7-minute walk. Bus stops are 2 minutes away. Staff - the front desk, especially Analu, is very helpful and friendly. If you haven't booked your Northern Lights tour, a tour company - Chasing Lights - has a booth in the lobby that can help you. Rooms - are cozy and I love the layout. I also like how big the bathroom is, especially the sink area where you can lay out all your stuff. If possible ask for any 5th floor room so you will be near the rooftop jacuzzi and sauna. 24/7 coffee/tea bar in the lobby and a choice of still or sparkling water. Since it's normally a cold-weather country, there's no AC - don't be surprised since you won't need it. The heater is stable and I love that you can control the heater in your room and bathroom separately. I'm already planning my next vacation in Tromsø and I'm staying here again."

"We booked here because some family members stayed 9 years ago and loved it, so we weren't as careful with checking reviews as we would normally be. The resort is very far from 4*. The apartments are tired and basic. The soft furnishings (sofa, cushions and blanket) in the living room are dirty and smelly. The bedrooms are tiny, with just beds and no other furniture, not even a bedside table. The shower cubicles are cheap plastic. The only great thing is the view over the fjord. If the weather is good then I'm sure it's a fantastic place to see the Northern Lights but if it's cloudy, as it was during our visit, then you won't see anything and you're stuck in one location. The activities are run by a separate company and the staff are lovely but completely untrained. We booked a trappers experience day, where we were meant to learn about local flora and fauna, and how to make a fire. In reality, it was just a snowshoe hike, which was gorgeous and fun but not what we thought we were getting. Our guide had only been at the resort for a few weeks and had been given minimal training, so didn't know the area very well (not his fault, he was doing his best). We also found out that some of the activities staff live in tiny near the dog yard in extremely basic conditions. There was actually a fire while we were there - likely caused by unsafe electrics (no injuries thankfully). The sauna was also not working properly. On the plus side, the hotel staff were friendly. "
