Room with a view!

Hotel was comfortable and staff were very helpful and friendly. Good connections to everything on Tromso via the bus stop immediately outside, and having the Narvessen in the foyer was useful too! We were on the 12th floor in one of the corner rooms which meant we had two fantastic window views looking south/east over Tromso and to the mountains beyond. Quite a view to wake up to on our first morning!

Very clean and comfortable property. Location is a little out of the city centre however excellent bus connection to central Tromsø every 10 minutes. Access to hotel is through the University of Northern Norway Hospital. Overall enjoyed the 3 night stay.

Disliked: Amenities
I was very surprised to see that this hotel actually shares a building and main entrance with a general HOSPITAL. You walk in through the front threshold and there are plenty of sick people coughing and waiting for treatment. It’s a heavy sight to see and then to know that you’re exposed all these sick people as you walk further in to navigate to the hotel desk is an experience. I would not have booked it if I knew that the Hotel is really an annex of the hospital. It’s very creative and I’m sure a great way to generate additional revenue for the hospital, but it was a little deceptive for unsuspecting customers. I would not have booked it had I known this. I also found the food to be very expensive and not very tasty.

For almost $300 per night you don’t even get a shampoo in the shower, no tea kettle or coffee in the room. Simply scandalous

Nice room, but misleading description of hotel

The room was a very nice single and the desk clerk was super-helpful. However, I think the description of the hotel needs to be expanded—it’s almost misleading by the omissions. The hotel is attached to a hospital—you literally have to enter the hospital doors to get to the hotel. The paid parking is outside, a block away from the hotel. There are no luggage carts, etc. I parked in a taxi zone to unload my luggage and haul it to my room before parking. However, the room was nice and had a good view, though the window was quite small. The included breakfast was very good.

Nice, clean, quiet and modern hotel

The shower was faulty during my three day stay which was a letdown. A general fault with the hot water supply did - apparently -affect all rooms. Nice breakfast restaurant with good selection of foods. No toaster was available, however. Self service - including a cramped and compromised waste sorting station which should have been better planned. One had to wait for person in front to empty their tray and sort their waste. Slightly annoying when you're in a restaurant. Two lifts which at busy morning times was inadequate. It stopped at most floors going down, to the degree that it took ages to get down to exit level - and I missed my planned local bus to town on two occasions. All this said, it was a nice stay. Very clean and relatively quiet. I was woken up by the ambulance helicopter at the middle of the night on one occasion, but that has to be expected when you choose to stay in a hotel at a huge hospital site. 15 minutes by bus to get to the city centre. Frequent buses to and from town - unless you travel very late at night or past midnight.

entspannter Stadturlaub

Das Hotel ist trotz seiner Nähe zum Universitätskrankenhaus ruhig gelegen, die Innenstadt war dank des sehr guten Bussystems gut erreichbar. Vom Zimmer hatten wir einen guten Blick über die Stadt und konnten sogar die Polarlichter bewundern.
