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 location. Easy to get to. The room was comfortable, spotlessly clean and has everything that you need. We took our own kettle as we like coffee when we wake up. The staff are all very helpful and the trsndport links are very good. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of choices. Can't see why our own hospitals do not have this same facility to support patients and their families.

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.

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!

Very clean and comfortable property. Location is a little out of the city centre however excellent bus connection to central Tromsø every 10 minutes. Access to hotel is through the University of Northern Norway Hospital. Overall enjoyed the 3 night stay.

Nice, clean, quiet and modern hotel

The shower was faulty during my three day stay which was a letdown. A general fault with the hot water supply did - apparently -affect all rooms. Nice breakfast restaurant with good selection of foods. No toaster was available, however. Self service - including a cramped and compromised waste sorting station which should have been better planned. One had to wait for person in front to empty their tray and sort their waste. Slightly annoying when you're in a restaurant. Two lifts which at busy morning times was inadequate. It stopped at most floors going down, to the degree that it took ages to get down to exit level - and I missed my planned local bus to town on two occasions. All this said, it was a nice stay. Very clean and relatively quiet. I was woken up by the ambulance helicopter at the middle of the night on one occasion, but that has to be expected when you choose to stay in a hotel at a huge hospital site. 15 minutes by bus to get to the city centre. Frequent buses to and from town - unless you travel very late at night or past midnight.

Although this hotel is based in a huge hospital complex and you will meet the odd out-patient in the lift, you will not notice that the hotel is linked to the hospital. Room clean, modern and functional with TV, mini fridge and small desk where you can work. The twin beds were fairly narrow, but comfortable. Generous sized bathroom. Lifts can be a bit busy at times. Breakfast restaurant roomy and food was good. No table service, so you will have to clean up the table yourself - which seems a bit cheap for a hotel restaurant. The hotel is based some 15 minutes by bus from the city centre. Frequent bus services during the day and early evening, but by late night you'd be hard pushed to find a bus back to the hotel. The shower had some general issues in our room leaving the temperature going awol from freezing cold to steaming hot in seconds, but staff was informed. Great views over the fjord and the mountains.

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.
