The room was very clean and large. We arrived later than dinner time and communicated with the hotel staff in advance, and they still left us a sumptuous dinner. The breakfast was delicious and the front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming
The hotel environment is very good, the most impressive thing is that the breakfast is very rich, far exceeding expectations. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no free parking space, but parking nearby is also very convenient.
Except for not closing the house every day, there are almost no shortcomings. You can see Aurora without going out. They cook instant noodles in their parking lot. I am very happy.
Nice hotel, friendly staff at the counter and helpful as well. Theres a bus from evenes airport to thon hotel and a short 5 min walk to the hotel. Breakfast is good, there is also an option to do lunch takeaway
Absolutely stunning views, super convenient location, and the hotel facilities are top-notch. The staff are incredibly nice, and there are so many outdoor activities to choose from. The best part is being able to see the Northern Lights directly from the hotel!
The facilities are quite basic, and the soundproofing is terrible. There was a constant banging and rumbling noise all day. On top of that, at 9 AM, someone inexplicably opened my door and turned on the lights. They closed the door but left the lights on. At noon, they rushed me to check out and even came into the room again. The screen mirroring was very difficult to use, and the TV's design was poor, blocking the remote control signal.
On the positive side, the view from the 11th floor of the hotel is excellent.
I saw the northern lights from my room on my 2nd night around 9ish pm. I am very lucky, as I was not expecting it. Cos its polar nights season & with only a few hours of daylight, Scandic Ishavshotel was perfect in terms of comfort & accessibility. The view worth every cent. It might get abit crowded though during breakfast time but the spread was very good. Try to go between 7-7.30am to secure window seats. Another best thing when u are not driving or travelling alone with luggages, the airport bus stops directly outside the hotel.
This was a great location slightly out of the city to catch the Northern Lights without going on a tour (we saw it two nights out of five! Cabins were well kept and clean, we were two adults and two teens and there was enough space for everyone. It is 10mins walk to the bus stop to the city, of 40mins walk across the bridge to the city, both of which were manageable for us. Note that there aren’t many restaurants nearby. All in I was extremely happy we chose this place for the Tromso leg of our trip.
Nice, simple hotel with double bed, a small desk and closet bathroom but for the price, it was good enough for one night. Close distance away from Port, shopping mall, and tourist information as well as the Airport.
The man at the desk was very helpful getting us in to another room when the TV didn't work.
Great

Very Good
JJTKOConveniently located, walking distance to Arctic cathedral. Breakfast is excellent and very good spread . The front desk staff on 4 Oct early afternoon morning is extremely helpful. The Bristol staff whom I have placed order for early breakfast has forgotten to register my order and this front desk gentleman is kindly to help and give me the breakfast in time for my departure.

AAnonymous UserPros: The hotel is very new, the bathroom is clean, there's a Type-C charging port, and slippers are provided. The hotel bar is also cheaper than other places in the city.
Cons: The hotel doesn't provide complimentary water bottles.
The room size isn't an issue, but the wardrobe space for hanging clothes is tiny. Considering we're in the Arctic Circle, how am I supposed to hang a thick winter coat or jacket in that small space?!
There was a lot of hair on the bed, and even after changing rooms, it was the same! Still hair! The pillowcase was even put on inside out! For a standard room costing over 400 Euros a night, this definitely doesn't justify the price.
The standard room photos on the website show beautiful views, and there was no distinction between sea view and city view when booking. I've stayed twice in three different standard rooms. One on the second floor faced the bridge. The other two faced apartment buildings. In both my stays (including one room change), I never got the standard room view advertised by the hotel. I wonder who does get those rooms?
TTurkmenbashiAn unpretentious but comfortable hotel in an unbeatable location in central Tromso (the third photo is the view from the hotel window). Highlights include the friendly staff (a shout out here to the ever helpful Petter), tasty and healthy breakfast, and comfortable sitting areas that mean you don't have to hang out in your room.
Given the quality of the hotel it is surprising - and highly annoying - that they don't provide kettles in the room (I even offered to pay a deposit), the more frustrating because some photos on the site show coffee machines: so some rooms do have these facilities. The selection of toiletries is also surprisingly meagre - no shower gel for example, which seems unnecessarily cheapskate. My other gripe is that they need more individual tables in the breakfast room: finding a space at a long table feels reminiscent of youth hostelling...
With these shortcomings noted, the hotel can be recommended and is good value for Tromso.
GGuest UserThe hotel is outdated and is scheduled to be refurbished in 2025 or 2026.
The lobby is ”super” small with no design theme (for what that matters).
My room was small and poorly laid-out...plus, the bed was so soft it was uncomfortable and I knew my back would suffer, so I placed the thin topper on the floor and slept on that.
Once housekeeping left at the end of the day you could not obtain extra blankets or pillows...all I had was one small, rectangular pillow....I did not get a good sleep!
The gym could only be accessed by climbing a narrow, winding set of stairs...I never got there.
The front office staff was amazing...so pleasant and accommodating....despite all the demands placed on them.
I was thankful I was only staying for 1 night.

HHans jr.Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage und vom Zimmer aus hatten wir einen tollen Ausblick.
Das Zimmer entsprach dem üblichen Standard
Ein Restaurant gab es im Hotel nicht, man bat uns Mikrowellenessen an (Burger Pizza)
Aber fußläufig waren einige Restaurants zu erreichen
Parkplätze gab es nur kostenpflichtig und ziemlich teuer (24,- € pro Tag)
GGuest UserThe room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate for our needs. We booked a sea-view room on the highest floor, the 10th. The two large windows offered a truly stunning view, with distant snow-capped mountains and city lights clearly visible.
Downstairs, the lobby provides complimentary tea and coffee. Conveniently, there's also a Best Arctic office right next to the lobby. We booked all three of our day tours there, and the departure point was very close to the hotel. All in all, the location is excellent and incredibly convenient.
Check-in was a bit slow, so be prepared to be patient.
