Scandic Hotels in Tromso

+ Great location + Fantastic Breakfast + Lovely harbour view and while it was down to luck, we enjoyed the northern lights from the comforts of our room. - Restaurant was really busy. No system in the morning and the staff hanging around are mostly there to clean up the used dishes. There should be a queue system when the restaurant is full. Additionally, night time service seems to be overwhelmed with tour (cruise?) group and conference guests, which is understandable especially if you don’t have a reservation. But staffers should inform diners if it would take more than an hour to serve the food. - Reception not always the friendliest, though they do try to be helpful.

Great hotel for our short stay. Room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was very good, with lots of options. Bacon, egg (fried,scrambled or boiled) beans, toast and brown sauce was my choice. But there was a good choice of pastries and breads, yogurts and cream cheeses, meats etc etc. The location was ideal on the main street, a short walk from the bus station where lots of the tours depart from.

I have to review this hotel. First, let me say this: if I ever return to Tromsø, this would definitely be my first choice. We stayed in room 622, a one-bedroom, one-living room room with a view, which was very spacious. I guess they upgraded us. The breakfast was hearty, and the location was very convenient—everything was within a 15-minute walk. I'm not sure why it has such a low Ctrip rating; it shouldn't be. So much so that when I later stayed at the Thon Hotel in Oslo, which had a 4.6 rating, I actually found it quite average.
