Great hotel. Great location. Awesome breakfast buffet. Friendly and professional staff. You just reserve parking as hotel spots are limited. But there is plenty of public parking around, though you must keep paying in the app. and not forget to renew time.

The hotel is situated in the area you ideally want to be as a tourist visiting Tromso. Most excursions meetups are nearby, bus to/from the airport stops in front of the hotel, just a short walk to convenience stores and restaurants. They also offer tons of breakfast options catering to all kinds of dietary needs. Also, they’re bathroom floors are heated which is very nice to have for winter stays.

I loved the large window and couch I had in my room, overlooking the mountains and the sea. I was on the top floor. Breakfast is amazing, so much choice for all tastes, and so many Norwegian foods to try. The bed was very good, but I found the storage area (wardrobe, cupboard, drawers) a bit minimal. I also found that the temperature in the room was a bit too hot for me, and I ended up sleeping with the window open. Some of the reception staff were very friendly, some not so much.

A great location and wonderful views

We had a great stay at the Scandic Ishavshotel. After a lot of debate about which hotel to pick we are really pleased with our choice. The location is brilliant - close access to every location and the bus routes. The view from the room is absolutely stunning and the breakfast is delicious any day. We dropped a point for the fact that it is phenomenally busy with a big turn over of guests so we struggled to get a seat at breakfast each morning. We did notice this big turnover also meant that although lovely and friendly the staff didn’t engage as much with guests as they would with a smaller hotel - this isn’t a fault though, more a preference. Can highly recommend for a trip to Tromso.
