We had a booking for 8 nights at this hotel but left after only one night. We had booked a superior room. When we entered the room, it was hot and stuffy. Opening the windows meant having the curtains open and therefore no privacy. The room was small. There was limited storage/shelving etc. It would be OK for one night... More

First I regret that we did not meet the expectations you had at our hotel. We tried to upgrade you to a larger room, but unfortunately every room occupied. You were visiting Tromso at a time when temperatures were abnormally high to be so far north. Typically, the temperatures are much lower so air conditioning is not needed in Tromso.... More

Perfect location. Everything in the city is within a short walk. For longer trips check out the free bikes available at reception. Friendly staff. Clean, comfortable rooms with dark curtains. A must in the summer! The breakfast was incredible! Fresh squeezed OJ, fresh smoothies, lots of fruit, and did I mention chocolate fondue? All of this on top of fresh... More

This hotel is on the waterfront right next to a ferry and cruise ship terminal. The tourist information centre and the bus terminal are also close, as is the commercial centre of Tromso. The room is very comfortable and of adequate size. Breakfast is first-class. The hotel is used for conferences which may annoy a casual tourist. There are other... More

Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy that you had a pleasant experience at our hotel. Please check back at a later date. In the case of the midnight sun, so is the center of Tromso in the shade, but you can see it from the top of the island or the mainland. More

Very good all round. The food was great, and the service, the decor, the bar, was all very good. We had a good size room overlooking the harbour towards the cathedral, we couldn't have asked for anything better for our honeymoon.

Friendly welcome, good bed, darkening curtains. Great location in the centre of Tromsø. Free bikes to pedal over the beidge to Fjellheisen, the funicular that takes you to a mountain 410 m asl for a fabulous view. Great breakfast too! Absolutely a favorite!

February 2013 - WINTER. Convenience was the key for this hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean, spacious and well appointed. We had a view of the town square out front, and of the water. It was a short walk to the shopping areas, and to a large variety of cafes and restaurants. We were booked... More

It took three plane rides to get to Tromso -- so we arrived mid-afternoon a bit fatigued. Our rooms were not yet ready, and we had an hour to wait. The restaurant in the hotel was closed, and finding food other than pizza was not possible. So hunger was our first impression. The room is comfortable and bright. Midnight sun... More

Hi Thank you for your constructive feedback. We wish to be as good as possible, and therefore, your feedback is important. Normally this is not a warm room a problem in Tromsø, but this spring has been particularly hot. However, we hope that you choose us the next time you visit Tromsø.

Perfect location overlooking the harbour, so central to everything you'll want to do whilst in Tromso. Airport bus stops right outside the door so also very easy for access to and from your flights. Overall a decent hotel, a little faded round the edges but nothing that should put you off. Helpful, efficient reception staff. As noted elsewhere, the breakfast... More

Fantastic waterside location with the most amazing breakfast ever, rooms on the small side but clean & contemporary. Lovely bar on the top floor overlooking the harbour, fabulous spot for before or after dinner drinks.

we are indeed at the Rica and it is comfortable. The rooms are small but wonderfully located by the dock and the views are terrific. I particularly like the panoramic bar on the 4th floor for a quiet drink after 8pm. We have arrived here after the 'Lights' season as there isn't much activity but are still enjoying ourselves. We...
