Very nice hotel with excellent breakfast. The only issue is that the walls are very thin and you hear your neighbours. Not cool when you are awaken at night because your neighbour is talking on the phone.

The service from start to finish was excellent- we were delayed and arrived 2 hours after our expected arrival. Greeted by friendly warm staff. Nathan was extremely attentive and helpful. He went out of his way to ensure we made the most of our trip. The room and and breakfast was spot on and met our high expectations. Ideally located in central Tromso.

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.
