Stayed at the Thon Hotel for one night between a car tour of the Lofotens and catching the Hurtigruten north. I was very pleasantly surprised both by the Hotel and slightly disparaged Harstad. The friendly front desk assigned me a spacious ultra-clean room toward the rear. The decor was ever so slightly dated with a nautical theme but beautifully maintained... More

We visited Harstad as part of a tour of Northern Norway. This hotel was among the better hotels we sayed in: comfortable and a good location. We liked the Egon restaurant, which was good value (for Norway). Parking was limited but we found a space. The free bike rental was a bonus that we enjoyed!

Nice, central and conveniant for my stopover en route to France. I had to catch the early plane to Oslo and the airport bus calls at the hotel. My other option was to stay overnight at Paris CDG aiport, but believe it or not, this time Harstad was much better value. My room on the fifth floor had a very... More

The hotel is in a lovely location, with the rooms at the front of the hotel having wonderful views, The room was quite small, but had everything you need. It was clean and tidy and there was no noise from other guests,... More

I stayed at Thon in Harstad with my wife for four nights in August. The hotel is beautifully located at the end of a long fiord and it was fantastic to watch the Hurtigruten and other boats on the water. The rooms are pleasant and fresh. Our only complaint - and it is not a big one - is that... More

This hotel really knows how to make children feel welcome. There was playroom for children and they gave balloons and pencils etc. when we checked in. Great location in the center of Harstad.

Room was tiny....really small. Toilet was so close to the wall that it was nearly impossible to sit. Shower was pathetic. Room was hot & no air con, opening window didn't help. Egon restaurant was not good either which was part of the hotel. Food was basically microwaved until defrosted then put in an oven for 5 minutes. Breakfast was... More
