Love the smart hotel, easy check in. Perfect location with bus, ferry terminal, groceries, shopping mall all within 5 minute walk. The room is also spacious. Definitely value for money. I will recommend all to stay when you are in Harstad.
Very quiet environment with great scenery. We're lucky to able to see aurora with clear sky. Very helpful check in staff with very nice dinner and breakfast 😋
The facade definitely stands out and the place was cosy. However, the photos were not representative of the actual place not exactly in a good way. We stayed in the designer cabin (which costs more) but were surprised by how small it was. I would not recommend paying more for the cabin during summer as there is not much to see and less convenient considering we needed to walk a distance to access the amenities including the toilets and kitchen which we did not know when we booked.
ゲゲスト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.

ゲゲストEs war mein 3. Mal in diesem Hotel. Ausschlaggebend ist immer ein Zimmer mit Blick zum Wasser. Denn dieser Blick ist einfach unschlagbar schön.
Wir waren jetzt zum ersten Mal eine ganze Woche. Da haben sich leider dann auch mal nicht so optimale Dinge gezeigt. Das enthaltene Essen ist grundsätzlich eine tolle Sache. Gerade in Skandinavien ist Essen gehen ja teuer und so ist es schön, dass das schon im Preis enthalten ist. Allerdings haben wir eine ziemliche Wiederholung der angebotenen Speisen festgestellt. Und die warmen Gerichte abends waren nur sehr lauwarm. Was echt nicht so toll war, ist, dass man den Reinigungsservice aktiv selbst anfordern muss. Haben wir auch gemacht, aber das Zimmer wurde nicht gereinigt (vor allem das Bad), nur Handtücher gewechselt und Seifensprender aufgefüllt. Und wenn man eine Woche da ist, fällt dann auch auf, das nur eine kleine Ecke zum aufhängen von Sachen sehr wenig ist. Wir hatten also die beiden Sessel voll liegen, was manchmal echt chaotisch war und man immer wieder neu aufräumen musste.
Das Personal ist aber sehr nett und freundlich. Und die Lage des Hotels eben auch ziemlich unschlagbar. Alles ist nah gelegen. Da wir einen kompletten Tag Regen/Schnee hatten und das Hotel gar nicht verlassen haben, ist uns aufgefallen, dass die Möglichkeit mal in eine wärmende Sauna oder ein Schwimmbad zu gehen, oder eine Massage oder Kosmetikbehandlung im Hotel zu buchen auch ganz nett gewesen wären. Aufgrund des Ausblicks allein würde ich aber trotzdem immer wieder kommen ;-)
ゲゲストWe arrived in the evening, reception was not open but instructions to where our room and key are were sent in advance. Due to the weather (arrived during heavy snow) we struggled a bit to find our room, which was unpleasant, but once we found it our stay was very nice. The room had everything we needed, bathroom simple and clean, kitchen organized and simple with a stove, dishwasher, fridge and everything, and a very nice shared area. The location is very close to Finnsnes, but buses don't run very often, and not in the evening; so plan in advance if you count on using public transportation. On the up side, when the bus does run, there is a stop right outside.
All in all, great value for money. Thank you for a very pleasant stay!
