From its snow-capped mountains to its mighty fjords, from grand valleys to tranquil lakes and lovely archipelagos, the county of Troms is bursting with natural wonders. To cap it off, it also plays host to the northern lights. Tromso, the capital, is the gateway to the region's rugged beauty, but with 65,000 people it's also a surprisingly rich city culturally, with many interesting museums and sites (including the world's northernmost botanical garden) and even a pulsing nightlife.

An excellent hotel right on the harbour with great views. Our room was large and modern. We had a great place to sit and enjoy the views of the Arctic Cathedral and snow capped mountains in the background. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The buffet breakfast was excellent. Lots of restaurants close by. Nothing more to ask for!

Opened in May 2014, this central Tromso hotel is located at the harbour, overlooking Tromso Sound and the Arctic Cathedral. It features free Wi-Fi, modern rooms and on-site dining. Contemporary furnishings are featured in all rooms at Clarion Hotel The Edge, as well as a large flat-screen TV and desk. The bathrooms include a shower and hairdryer. Kitchen & Table by Marcus Samuelsson restaurant serves New York-style dishes made from local ingredients. Work out for free at "Kom I Form", a local gym located in the same building. Polaria Aquarium and the 19th-century wooden Tromso Cathedral are both within 300 metres of the hotel. Tromso Airport is 6 km away.
We had the pleasure of staying 5 nights at The Edge. The hotel is located beautiful at the dock in Tromsø, with an amazing view. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Not much room for hanging your clothes if you are two persons. There was no window or ventilation (not working anyway) in the bathroom. Temperature in the room was a little high, the AC only went down to 19 degrees celcius. Checkin and staff in general was super fine. The breakfast buffet was rich, maybe too rich. I would prefer a smaller buffet and a better quality of the food. One day (monday) there was no juice at all, Only milk, water and smoothie. This is in my opinion, not acceptable for this kind of hotel. All in all a good stay, and I would recommend staying at this hotel.

Welcome to a warm and friendly hotel where you can feel at home.
Great hotel right on the water in Tromso! Within walking distance to anything you would want to do in Tromso. There are plenty of different tours (fjord, fishing, ect.) Right across the hotel. The Food for breakfast, mid afternoon tea, and dinner were amazing. I highly recommend this as a place to stay, you cannot beat the value for what you get during your stay.

Tromsø Lodge & Camping is located in the fabulous wilderness, right next to the Tromsø city center. You can sleep to the sound of the river running outside your cabin, with the majestic mountains behind you. When you wake up, you can take a lovely morning walk in one of the many hiking tracks at site. The location is perfect for those who want to experience the arctic nature, but also close to the urban city life. By car it is only a 5 minute drive, or by foot a 30 minute walk. We offer 54 cabins divided in 5 different categories, where you can choose between high standard cabins with two bedrooms, to a small cabin with only two beds. We also offer space for tents, RV and caravan, in addition to meeting and event facilities for up to 120 persons. Parking and WiFi is included in all of our cabins.
We had a traditional cabin 2 adults and 2 kids both rooms were bunk beds. Cabin had everything you would need. It was freezing outside but the cabin was so warm. It's outside the town so we were very lucky to see the NL above the cabins. There's a small cafe which did shut early. Which was my only problem would have liked for it to stay open a bit later. Staff were very good and helpful. Managed to book reindeer sledge and the coach picked you up at the campsite so no need to go into town. There's a large supermarket which took us about 30 minutes to walk there due to the snow and about 2 hours to walk back cause there's a couple of small slopes that the kids and us would slide on. Great fun. Didn't find much in the town probably due to Covid at the time so only went there once and took a taxi back to the campsite. Breakfast was good plenty of choice.

We will pick you up with our private boat or you can take the ferry. Whatever you choose, it's free for our guests.
We stayed three days at Artic Panorama Lodge. As we arrived Christmas Eve we were picked up by our host Svein personally by boat. We will never forget the marvellous experience we had. The kitchen was superb, including local specialities such as lingelberry sauce or elk. Similarly the food was haven for all tastes and preferences, including vegan. We stayed in a cabin and had a wonderful view to the fjord and lake. The rooms were clean, cozy, and large. The staff and owner of the Lodge always made us feel welcomed by sharing their local knowledge and stories about living near the artic. It was due to them that we had a wonderful Christmas. Also, we went on a whale-watching trip where the effort to spot whales was rewarded. In addition to activties, there is always chances to rest, e.g. with a outside jaccuzi, the sauna, or massage treatments. We will forever remain grateful to Artic Panorama Lodge, which is a haven for all wildlife enthusiasts. Thank you Svein, familiy, and staff. No money or words could fully capture the value and experience you provide for your guests. Greetings from Nathalie and Frieda

Our guests can stay in range of high-standard accommodation (130 beds allocated in several apartments and 20 hotel rooms) and enjoy fine dining in Salteriet, our newly open restaurant serving traditional Norwegian cuisine.
We have spent 3 nights in Mefjord Brygge hotel. The room was a bit small but we had everything that we need. The food in the restaurant was really good, specially the artichoke soup and the burger! Breakfast was nice and complete. Possibility of connecting to our Netflix account for a plus. We had a nice recommandation for a snowshoe hiking in the area that was incredible. We had the chance to have the breakfast to go when we had an early activity. The staff was nice but maybe a little bit cold conpared to some others hosts that we have met.

Modern design on the pier! Feel the snow in your hair while resting in our outdoor jacuzzi under the Northern lights or during the summer while sun is shining all day and all night. Our excellent staff will be more than happy to serve you at all times whether it is regarding adventure bookings, restaurant recommendations or other enquiries you might have. We offer coffee/tea and a selection of fruits all day, homemade pasteries or wafles in the afternoon and an evening buffet with salads, soup, hot dish and dessert - all of this FREE OF CHARGE!Fantastic sea view from the diningroom, the outdoor jacuzzi and some of our superior rooms. All common areas were renovated in 2012 an all rooms got new floors, new easy chairs and new fabrics. All bathrooms have heated floors. The hotel is very close to all main attractions in Tromso and only a short walk from the Hurtigruten pier, the airport bus and all other buses that will take you around where ever you would like to go.
The room’s view was disappointing but everything else was excellent. Food is part of the deal from decent breakfast, to coffee and cake in the afternoon, to a very satisfactory buffet dinner in the evening. Coffee and tea on tap. Staff all superb. Brilliant location. Well worth a visit.

The Rica Grand Hotel enjoys a central location right on Tromso’s main street, closest to the best shopping, the most tasty restaurants, the most overpopulated cafes and the wettest waterholes. The Rica Grand Hotel is your best starting point for visiting Tromso and its colourful inhabitants.
Nice hotel, good and soft bed, clean room, friendly staff and tasty breakfast. Only downside was that there was no parking offered by the hotel. Luckily there was a parking building near. I only stayed for one night but would come again.

At Thon Hotel Polar, you can enjoy convenient and comfortable accommodation and a complimentary breakfast buffet included in the room rate. The hotel is situated in downtown Tromsø, and all the sights of this city are just a stone’s throw away. The hotel is newly renovated and we can offer facilities such as a new gym and modern conference rooms. Welcome.
Fantastic hotel, the whole chain of Thon hotels from south to north are great. Never any problems they can't fix. Very happy each time I check in. I am black member and only this tells you I have used Thon a lot. I sleep in hotels about 200 nights a year. Up to 120 of them in Norway. They certainty must take care of their staff as they always make me feel like a guest and not like someone that bothers them.. Like at Scandic the Mc Donald's of hotels
