Tromso Homestays

Location was by the harbour and really in downtown Tromso - walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Also where many tours have their pick up - so it's really convenient. Check-in staff was really polite and helpful - appreciate that. Room was also very clean and well maintained - though the toilet felt slightly dated. Overall, highly recommend.

Easy to locate and walking distance from bus stop and supermarket. Got to do self check in on ipad and mine keep having error. The hotel guy at counter helped me with check in and want to charge me for the hotel room which I had already paid via Trip app. Pls be careful if you're doing manual check in with the hotel staff. Decent size for 2pax but opening 2 luggages was quite an issue because of limited floor space.

Would happily stay again. Room was clean and tidy. Shower was great. The room was a little on the small side for travelling with so much luggage (we packed far too much) however, it was exactly as described and you got exactly what you paid for. We felt the the price was very reasonable in comparison to other hotels. We never had breakfast at the hotel so cannot comment on that. After our 3 night stay we were heading out onto an adventure excursion for two nights. The staff kindly allowed us to store our excess luggage in the storage room with no extra charge after we had checked out. Great hotel if you are out and about visiting the city. Perfect for a good nights sleep!

Very nice hotel with fantastic staff. It's a modern hotel and sort of designed like a ship. It's located right on the waterfront - make sure you get one of the corner rooms that feesl like it juts out into the harbor and has great views of the water, the comings and goings of the ferries and the not-so-distant peaks. The rooms are somewhat on the smaller side but very nicely appointed and quiet. The breakfast spread is perfectly fine. But a special shoutout to the checkin staff - Johannes and Torkel - both of whom were courteous, friendly and really helpful.

I feel lucky every day when I open the curtains. The snow-capped mountains are so beautiful. Make a cup of hot tea and sit quietly all afternoon. The hotel's breakfast is very rich and has many choices. The homemade bread is really delicious. There is a large floor-to-ceiling glass in the breakfast area. The breakfast is accompanied by the snow-capped mountains. It is so relaxing. I will definitely stay here again. (with pictures) The temperature indicators in the hotel lobby and elevator are really thoughtful👍🏻 If there is room for improvement, I hope the housekeeping staff can be more attentive. Overall, it is a good stay experience😍🙌🏻

We arrived at the hotel after a long day of travelling. Hotel Aurora is situated next to the water's edge and is within walking distance of everything that you'd need during your visit, including across the river to the Arctic Cathedral. The hotel was beautifully lit, very trendy and immaculately clean. Staff were extremely friendly and wlecoming on our arrival. We were given a room on the corner of the hotel with a balcony overlooking the harbour and mountains - It was an incredible sight, with the lights glistening off of the water. Our room was lovely and warm. It has a large, comfy bed, plenty of wardrobe space and a minifridge. The bathroom was fantastic, with great shower pressure. There was a brilliant selection of serve yourself buffet food, which was freshley topped up by the kitchen regularaily. This included soups, hot mains and breads. The hotel had tea, coffee and coco available to self serve 24-hours a day, and in the afternoons Fika was served to guests - The cakes/pasteries were always fresh and delicious. This was such addition to the day, finding a time and place to relax and talk. The hotel has a small gym and a large sauna. There is an outdoor hot tub which you had to pay extra for however, this was well worth the money due to the view of the mountains and harbour as you sat in the warm water mixed with the chill of the air. The staff, from the cleaning team to the kicthen team, were incredible. They always smiled and said hello and offered to help you with anything that you needed. One of the best hotels that we have ever stayed in - We will be returning very soon!

The best way to describe this hotel is average in every way. Everything in Tromso is ”central” - it's not a big place so that isn't really a selling point. The rooms are very small (even the ”deluxe” ones) and there are only two elevators for a pretty sizable 8 story hotel so get ready for the stairs. I paid extra to be on the 8th floor because I read the reviews about the nightclub underneath and boy they were right - I could hear thumping well into the night so bring your earplugs (the club appears to only be open Thursday - Saturday so if you're travelling outside of that, I'm sure it's more tolerable to try to sleep). Hindsight being 20/20, I would've paid $30-40 more to stay at one of the better rated hotels.
