Everything (except smoked salmon) is expensive in Norway but the relatively cheaper room prices at the Thon Hotel Polar bring good accommodation within the reach of most tourists. It is situated on one of the main thoroughfares in Tromso. However, this caused no upset to the high quality of our stay there. The rooms are quiet, warm, clean and comfortably... More

The rooms are small (think London size) but they're modern, scrupulously clean and comfortable. Our double room was warm and the decor was modern and clean. It's very well positioned for the city centre and harbour. The buffet style breakfast is excellent. I couldn't fault this at the price (which isn't bad for Norway). I recommend a short walk to...

Very good quality for a "budget" hotel, although I paid 200 euro for 1 room per night. Large room, which was renewed. Large bathroom and also the bedroom had lots of space, besides the 3 beds. The hotel is situated (like most hotels in Tromso) in the city centre. Coffee and thee are available (free) at the reception. The breakfast... More

The position is perfect. Everything is close enough to the hotel, to be reached on foot. The breakfast,in the attached restaurant, is rich and very good and the hotel is not noisy. The rooms are not brand new but confortable and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Very important: the internet connection is free and unlimited. More

If oyu want somewhere comfortable to relax with pleasant staff and a decent breakfast then ThonPolar offers good value for money (by Norway pricing). The Egon restaurant nextdoor is also a reasonable option, especially their eat as much as you can pizza buffet. More

This hotel is labelled 'budget' by Thon hotels, and offers the lower end of its prices. Therefore, you need to adjust your expectations. Having stayed at thier 'city' hotel in Alta as well, I would say it is worth splashing the (relatively) slightly higher amount to stay at a 'city' hotel. Thon's city hotel in Tromso is located exactly across... More

I stayed four nights in this straightforward budget hotel while I hunted for the Northern Lights (which disobliged by hiding from me!). It's basic, but clean, comfortable and warm. The bedroom had a pale wooden floor, pale cream walls, a desk, table, two chairs and a telly. And a comfortable, if narrow bed. Big old blokes like me like to... More

Stayed with wife for 3 nights and had a room on the 9th floor with a great view over the City, with the bonus one evening of seeing the Aurora Borealis from the window! (early March). Room basic but warm and clean, and an excellent bathroom. Criticisms are soft, unsupportive bed and very little storage space. There is no hotel... More
