I saw the northern lights from my room on my 2nd night around 9ish pm. I am very lucky, as I was not expecting it. Cos its polar nights season & with only a few hours of daylight, Scandic Ishavshotel was perfect in terms of comfort & accessibility. The view worth every cent. It might get abit crowded though during breakfast time but the spread was very good. Try to go between 7-7.30am to secure window seats. Another best thing when u are not driving or travelling alone with luggages, the airport bus stops directly outside the hotel.
The room was spacious and new, and the breakfast was absolutely amazing – the best and most diverse we had on our entire trip, even better than the Radisson Blu in Oslo. It was incredible value for money. My only minor concern was that the door automatically locks itself one minute after being closed, which felt a bit less secure when leaving the room.
The room was very clean and large. We arrived later than dinner time and communicated with the hotel staff in advance, and they still left us a sumptuous dinner. The breakfast was delicious and the front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming
The room was very clean and had a luxurious feel to it. The hotel management is quite professional; since my luggage was delayed, the staff even kindly helped me charge my two power banks. The breakfast selection was rich and varied. However, paying for parking was inconvenient as the hotel couldn't pay the parking fee on my behalf.
The hotel environment is very good, the most impressive thing is that the breakfast is very rich, far exceeding expectations. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no free parking space, but parking nearby is also very convenient.
The room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate for our needs. We booked a sea-view room on the highest floor, the 10th. The two large windows offered a truly stunning view, with distant snow-capped mountains and city lights clearly visible.
Downstairs, the lobby provides complimentary tea and coffee. Conveniently, there's also a Best Arctic office right next to the lobby. We booked all three of our day tours there, and the departure point was very close to the hotel. All in all, the location is excellent and incredibly convenient.
Check-in was a bit slow, so be prepared to be patient.
Stayed at Tromsø Cabins during our trip twice. The location is excellent — by the river, with mountain views, yet only a few minutes’ drive to the city. Our cabin was warm, clean, and practical, with a small kitchenette for simple meals. Parking was free and convenient, and there were plenty of EV charging points available, which made our road trip much easier. A cosy and quiet place to stay, perfect as a base for exploring Tromsø and the surrounding nature.
Simple cozy place nearby the area of Sommarøy, with a nearby convenience store for any replenishments! My wife and I went via car, so we cannot advise on the way to get there via bus.
Parking is free, right outside the hotel. Breakfast was amazing and there was a good spread, with the restaurant serving dinner. Our time was short, we didn't manage to try the sauna facilities. We would have loved to stay a couple more nights!
Even during the busy winter holiday season, I was able to have a comfortable stay without any mistakes.
I was able to eat the most delicious breakfast in Norway, which is unique to Norway. It was well-balanced, but it was really delicious, so be careful not to eat too much 😊
In the evening, it takes time when group check-ins overlap, but it's okay, they are efficient and everything went smoothly.
The room is equipped with a kettle and refrigerator, which is convenient.
This hotel is especially good value for money for travelers from Asia and travelers from all over the world. There are really many different languages spoken here.
I recently stayed at Thon Hotel Polar in Tromsø and it was overall a great experience! The hotel is located in the city center, very close to the airport bus station, surrounded by many restaurants and convenience stores, and within walking distance to many attractions such as the Aurora Museum and the pier. The location is quite convenient.
Although the room is not big, it is clean and tidy, fully equipped, and the bed is very comfortable, providing me with a warm resting space in the cold winter. The floor heating design in the bathroom is a big plus, and you won’t feel cold at all when taking a shower. The breakfast provided by the hotel is very rich and varied, including fresh bread, smoked salmon, eggs, cereals and a variety of hot drinks, allowing people to start their journey every day with energy.
The service staff are very friendly and are always happy to provide local tourist information. They will even help to check the aurora forecast, which is impressive. Overall, Thon Hotel Polar is an excellent accommodation choice when traveling to Tromsø, with high CP value, and is recommended to travelers who want convenient and comfortable accommodation!

GGuest UserI thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this apartment. The room was exceptionally well-equipped, offering amenities that even higher-end hotels often lack. The property is well-maintained and conveniently located near a supermarket, bus stop, and shopping street.
I was so impressed that I even looked for the same property in other cities such as Copenhagen and Oslo.
My only minor inconvenience was that the main lobby opens at 10 a.m., which made early check-out slightly difficult as we had to carry our luggage up from the basement.
OONG JesslynThis room wasn’t as expected as I stayed in room 703 before. This room 225 was small for 3 adults. No space to open luggages. Lack of charging port. One charging point next to entrance of the door and placed so high that our cables wasn’t long enough to reach we have to pull a chair (see photo luggage height) The tv is spoilt too, u have to adjusted up and down to get TV to be working!!! You have to informed reception to open door to parking so that you can park your car inside, just pay a fee. I love the breakfast buffet.
GGuest UserThe hotel is outdated and is scheduled to be refurbished in 2025 or 2026.
The lobby is ”super” small with no design theme (for what that matters).
My room was small and poorly laid-out...plus, the bed was so soft it was uncomfortable and I knew my back would suffer, so I placed the thin topper on the floor and slept on that.
Once housekeeping left at the end of the day you could not obtain extra blankets or pillows...all I had was one small, rectangular pillow....I did not get a good sleep!
The gym could only be accessed by climbing a narrow, winding set of stairs...I never got there.
The front office staff was amazing...so pleasant and accommodating....despite all the demands placed on them.
I was thankful I was only staying for 1 night.
GGuest UserA hotel that is located conveniently to many pick up points for tours. Grocery stores, 7-11 and restaurants are also located nearby. Simple amenities such as shampoo/body soap, towels, hairdryer are available. Love it that there is breakfast and dinner that comes together with your stay. Nothing too fancy but good enough to fill your bellies considering the restaurants are quite pricey. You will need to get hot water on your own at the dispenser as there are no kettle in the room. Reception was always friendly in answering any questions, and even helped with my cab booking to the airport. Worth it for the price, would stay here again.
