This hotel has a wonderful location by the harbor with a view to the sea and the mountains. The service is very good and the food is simply exceptional. They offered to send invoice to by job before I asked and all questions were answered with yes. Rooms are nice and clean. I cannot find a negative thing to say.

Rica Ishavshotel is not cheap - but show me a cheap hotel in Norway... - but it's definitely worth a look. Especially in two cases: a) you want to get 4 star quality paying 4 star money in Norway, b) you can find a room for a cheaper fare, on a promotion of some kind. Ours was the second case.... More

The views are cracking across the fjord and it's within easy walking distance of town. Also, the bus for the airport stops right outside. So, convient, absolutely. The hotel itself appears to be going through a renovation of sorts. Our... More

We stayed a couple of nights at the Rica Ishvalshotel in Tromso before going to a cabin a few hours drive away to hopefully see the Northern Lights (which we did see every night from the cabin and in the surrounding country side:) ) We arrived from the airport by car to find that the hotel has not parking, but...

Best location,view and breakfast you could find in Tromso. Beware that this hotel only allow checkin after 3pm.

The positives - the location is superb, in the centre of town, stop off point for the Flybus and also meeting point for many excursions. The breakfast buffet is incredible, the choice and selection amazing. The crows nest bar is warm and intimate. The negatives - in my opinion the guidebooks totally over-rate this hotel. The rooms are basic for... More
