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.

Well located, good views and comfy beds

Good location in central Tromso beside the harbour, with easy parking beside the property and just a few minutes walk to the centre and lots of shops, restaurants etc. Comfortable beds and an amazing breakfast buffet with loads of cooked, continental and local choices Airport shuttle bus stops directly outside the hotel

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.

The property was clean and spacious. The room (Superior Room) wasn’t huge but was a good size and it had a great view into the harbour. The location was great as it was secluded enough, but within walking distance to the rest of the city. Check-in was very easy, although there is a charge if you want to check-in before 2pm (only about £15). Breakfast was okay, but the whilst the food options were vast, I don’t think the quality was great. Unless you go really early, the breakfast is a pretty busy experience.
