Clarion Hotel/Clarion Collection Hotels in Tromso

The hotel is outdated and is scheduled to be refurbished in 2025 or 2026.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.

This hotel is at the waterfront right in the center of town. It offers excellent value! Afternoon tea, buffet dinner, breakfast and free tea/coffee all day are included in the price. There's a sauna on the 5th floor together with a small gym. A jacuzzi is available for a small fee. Bus 42 from the airport stops just behind the hotel so it's less than a min walk to the reception. The staff are friendly. The room is clean and quite spacious. Best value in town! I'll definitely stay here again.

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. -
