Hotels near Polaria, Tromso

Located in city centre, but room was small for the price. The good thing is they allowed us to checkin before time, which is the first time happened to us.

The hotel could not be in a better location for exploring Tromso and provides very good value. It was easy to travel to and from the airport (although we admittedly got a short taxi) and visit the sights (including getting a bus to the Arctic Cathedral). The room was small, but great value for what we had paid. We were mainly using it as a base in between trips and sightseeing, so it did the job nicely. We had twin beds, a desk and chair, an armchair and a long mirror. The bathroom was also very good - there was always hot water and the shower offered a good water pressure, making it easier to wash your hair after being caught in a snowstorm! The breakfast buffet offered a great selection of food, including my favourite - brown cheese. I would be happy to stay there again.

Location was by the harbour and really in downtown Tromso - walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Also where many tours have their pick up - so it's really convenient. Check-in staff was really polite and helpful - appreciate that. Room was also very clean and well maintained - though the toilet felt slightly dated. Overall, highly recommend.

We didn’t stay at the Ami Hotel, but booked an intimate trip for 5, to hunt for the Aurora. Pick up and drop off either outside the Ami Hotel. On arrival at the hotel we were given warm clothing and boots. Our driver and guide, Sarah, was great, originally from Wales, she was very knowledgeable and told us interesting tales of Norwegian folklore, talked about the different locations that she’d travelled to for great views of the ‘lights’. She was very friendly, and brought fold up chairs to have hot drinks, sausages to toast around a firepit and also doughnuts. Sarah drove us to a few spots and saw the wonder of the ‘Northern Lights’. She also took photos of our group which were great. I would definitely recommend this tour.

The location is definitely great for those activities pick up and drop off location, just 1-5 mins walk, the room size is decent for 3 big suitcases, the view is amazing like a picture with big window with very basic amenities like towels & tissues. The reception normally only 1 person so he/she is always busy during Easter holidays, not sure about the normal days. The breakfast is okay with typical western foods and please do not expect it has the Asian food breakfast selection lol, as it seems like those Asian people get used to the Chinese/ Asian food base and expecting more to fit in their appetizers like my hubby hahaha. They offer the pack to go breakfast for your early morning flight upon request, it has 1 big rough bread cheese & ham sandwich, 1 pear + 1 box of orange juice, remember to drink up the OJ before you pass the security check, otherwise they will help you to throw it away! ;)

The location is excellent, only a three- to five-minute walk from the event center and one minute from the bus station. The front desk restaurant and room service staff were very friendly and helpful. The room is not too small for this city and the bed is a bit soft. The most commendable thing is that it includes breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea, which are served for a long time. There is basically no need to go out to eat in restaurants. Especially when you come with friends, you can eat in the restaurant at your own pace, saving a lot of time. You know During the peak tourist season, it takes a long time to wait for a seat at an outside restaurant to order a meal. The variety and taste of the food are pretty good. The hotel is right outside the pier with beautiful scenery. It is a highly recommended hotel.

Everything is fine. There is a buffet and a free sauna. The suite also has a kitchen. I bought ingredients in the city and cooked them at home. A king crab leg costs 600 kronor. I bought salmon from the supermarket and cooked it. It was the best salmon I have ever eaten. Tenderer than smoked. But it’s almost 3 kilometers to walk to the city. Although it feels like you can see the aurora, you still have to sign up for a tour and go to a place two hours away to see it.

Stayed for 2 nights! The room was cosy, and cute. The bed was really hard though, but the pillows were thick and soft! It was tidy and clean, and the bathroom was great with good pressure in the shower! The rooms had a TV with chromecast! Also the lights in the room were easy to control :) The hotel is really close to airport and traffic, but it's well isolated so we didn't get bothered by the noise of the traffic. As mentioned the hotel is close to ”jekta”, just a few minutes walk. And it's not a long drive if you prefer to bathe at ”Tromsø badet” It's easy to get there by car, but if you don't like driving there is a bus stop for route 28 right beside the hotel which makes it easier to travel to the mainland and back. Reception, bar and breakfast is at the top floor, with lot of room to he social or just enjoy the sight alone. They also had board games you could use! The only REALLY minus of our stay were that the service were a bit slow. We asked for help with the TV several times without luck. But I am not to mad about it due to few personel and high workload while we were there. (And the personel were really nice and polite) The hotel may wanna make an easier note that breakfast is NOT included in the room (as they traditionally are in tromsoe). And also how much breakfast cost! On your website it only says when breakfast is served (and that it's free until March 2024, which it were not). We were informed in the morning breakfast was 199 NOK per person, luckily with shopping center close by, and food market breakfast is easy to acquire. To sum it up: will stay at the hotel next time as well!

Wouldn’t recommend, as many have written Staff are very unfriendly (blond lady from reception) and don’t want to talk to you or help. Christian, the receptionist we talked to, he didn’t even want to get up from his chair in the office behind the reception, he told his colleague from the bar to talk to us, once he did he come, since she couldn’t answer our questions he seemed so annoyed. Sauna is currently not working, we didn’t see that before booking. The Blond Lady from the reception told us sauna seems to be working, one hour later it was not working again. We booked especially because of the great sauna recommendations. We asked if instead we could use the jacuzzi for a short time, Staff said sure for 500nok which is nearly 50€. We asked if we could then book the extra bathhouse (inside is also a Sauna) they said no its all booked. Our room is right beside the bathhouse and still nobody has entered for an hour. If the Sauna is not working why not let guests who pay a high room price use that sauna for the downtime. So disappointing after staying in an amazing place in Senja before and having the friendliest Staff! Only thing nice is it is clean and the views.
