Reviews
- Beautiful view
- Daybed was as comfortable as the bed
- One of the most conveniently located hotels in Tromso
- Delicious, well-seasoned breakfast
Cons:
- Hotel amenities are lacking (toiletries, facial tissues, phone to contact conceirge)
- Only one staff member after hours, no form of room service then
- Staff aren’t attentive enough. Notably, towels that were removed were not consistently replaced with new ones (One night all were removed, none were replaced. Another night, all were removed and only one was replaced)
Unfortunately we missed our breakfast both 2 days.
