Clarion Hotel the Edge

Centrally located in Tromsø, this modern accommodation provides clean, well-appointed rooms and excellent, friendly service. Guests rave about the convenient location and impressive breakfast options.

I stayed in this hotel for 6 nights and would recommend this hotel because of -its location. While the bus is kr26 offpeak and 48 at peak) being able to walk to most places is important to me. -its cleaniness. (Slightly dated in some part of room, but no stains on bed linen, no moulded bathroom) -helpful staff including checkin, conference, and housekeeping -good view (may depend on the room type and floor) -wonderful breakfast -good temperature control (18-20 degree Cel) in the room - wooden floor in room (cleaner than carpet) -no bad smell at all even in bathroom - tea and coffee are always available in the lobby. Though self service, still feel warm and welcoming from the freezing outside. - a little desk for working / writing plus a coffee table for other stuff. Two chairs are also included in this compact room which all come in handy. - wifi is available for free - a restaurant is available for dinner if you get hungry anytime after 4pm. I often feel rejected when I didnt make a booking in this town for dinner. So this hotel restaurant can be your safety net. Tips from my point of view: -Room is quite small even i booked a double room. Looks like a compact room to me. But i accepted since I travel solo and was happy about the view. If you care about the space, do go for the bigger rooms. -those hooks in the bathroom can rarely hold the towels without falling on the floor. You will need to think of ways to deal with this. - there are no tooth brush and tooth paste for free. Bring your own, or buy them here. -you may notice that things in this town is quite expensive. No exception for this hotel. This is the most expensive hotel room that I have ever paid for in my life. This money is more than normal 5 stars hotels but please manage your expectation... It's all relative. Since this was the best fit for me among all the hotels here, i still chose this. -there is a lugguage room open access to other customers too. So be prepared to hand carry anything valuable rather than leaving in the luggage room if you are careful. - the weather here in winter may not be very welcoming for someone from the warmer part of the world. So having a good hotel and room is one of the main reasons that I can feel safe and warm here in Tromso. -
