Room and bathroom was very clean, recommend for a budget stay. Quite strange having the hotel located inside the hospital, but didn’t bother us. Buses to and from the city centre were convenient, only 15-20 minute journey.

Great value hotel with an amazing breakfast. The breakfast spread is excellent, with a huge choice of both hot and cold options ,fruit, yoghurt, and plenty more. The rooms are perfectly adequate, and the heated bathroom floor is a brilliant touch, especially for drying clothes. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. The location works well: it’s about 10 minutes from town by bus, and the Svipper app makes getting around easy. There’s also a handy 7-Eleven on site. Don’t let the fact that it’s located at the hospital put you off ,if you go in with modest expectations, you’ll get more than you expect. Can’t fault it for the price.

Great hotel and the breakfast had a lot of variety including eggs and different types of meats. the only complaint is the single beds are very very small they're more for a child. I have a small camping cot and it's about the same size. It is not close to town so you need to take about a 10 minute taxi ride

This hotel is a patient hotel for the hospital, which I didn't think was made clear enough when I booked. They have a limited breakfast selection and the rooms are very basic as they are intended for patients for the hospital.

This is a hospital attached hotel and it should be clearer on Hotels.com.The staff are nice and breakfast is nice as well!

The room was clean and staff was very helpful as well as friendly. Only thing would have nice to know that the hotel is shared with the hospital. It is very strange. What is even more peculiar is that inside the room and bathroom there is an emergency call button like in hospital patient rooms.

6/10 Good

The room was ok and clean with a nice view. Was quite the experience though, we were a bit alarmed when we arrived and the first thing we saw was a person being wheeled into a van in a coffin. Probably the best shuttle bus service I have ever seen. If you call a certain number one comes right to where you are lights flashing and then speedily takes you back to the hotel. After we realised this hotel is literally inside a hospital it was quite funny watching other people walk in with suitcases with bewildered looks wondering why on earth they had just walked into a hospital. Very very misleading on the add, not one mention of it being in the hospital.

Room with a view!

Hotel was comfortable and staff were very helpful and friendly. Good connections to everything on Tromso via the bus stop immediately outside, and having the Narvessen in the foyer was useful too! We were on the 12th floor in one of the corner rooms which meant we had two fantastic window views looking south/east over Tromso and to the mountains beyond. Quite a view to wake up to on our first morning!
