4-Star Hotels in Troms, Norway

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.

Conveniently located, walking distance to Arctic cathedral. Breakfast is excellent and very good spread . The front desk staff on 4 Oct early afternoon morning is extremely helpful. The Bristol staff whom I have placed order for early breakfast has forgotten to register my order and this front desk gentleman is kindly to help and give me the breakfast in time for my departure.

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 facilities are quite basic, and the soundproofing is terrible. There was a constant banging and rumbling noise all day. On top of that, at 9 AM, someone inexplicably opened my door and turned on the lights. They closed the door but left the lights on. At noon, they rushed me to check out and even came into the room again. The screen mirroring was very difficult to use, and the TV's design was poor, blocking the remote control signal. On the positive side, the view from the 11th floor of the hotel is excellent.

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.

This was a great location slightly out of the city to catch the Northern Lights without going on a tour (we saw it two nights out of five! Cabins were well kept and clean, we were two adults and two teens and there was enough space for everyone. It is 10mins walk to the bus stop to the city, of 40mins walk across the bridge to the city, both of which were manageable for us. Note that there aren’t many restaurants nearby. All in I was extremely happy we chose this place for the Tromso leg of our trip.

Absolutely stunning views, super convenient location, and the hotel facilities are top-notch. The staff are incredibly nice, and there are so many outdoor activities to choose from. The best part is being able to see the Northern Lights directly from the hotel!

Located in the city center, it is very convenient for travel. Sightseeing and shopping are just a few steps away. The room is too small, so consider carefully if you have a lot of luggage. The twin beds are put together. The door lock is different from that of domestic hotels. You need to swipe it again when you leave to lock it. The breakfast is great and rich in variety. The room is cleaned every day. The front desk answered all questions, but there was no one when I checked out at 5 o'clock in the morning.

They will do daily cleaning in the room which is appreciated, but took away our spoons which the staff thought it was the hotel’s. And sometimes after cleaning, they didn’t provide garbage bag for the bin. We are also not notified that 24 December is their ‘holiday’ so the breakfast will start late, several group standing in front of the restaurant waiting it to open while we are actuall rushing to the airport. The staff did allow us in at the end, no chaotic was caused luckily.
