After our skitrip around Lyngen Alps we needed to stay one night in Tromso. This hotel has got a nice central location, friendly staff, and quiet rooms. Good value for money!

I tried booking the Radisson Blu for the first night in Tromso but they were totally booked so I booked a night at the Rica Grand and I am so happy I did. Really a nice hotel with a great room on the 7th floor-good view, great sleep on nice beds, and very helpful staff, and amazing breakfast. I felt... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and then went on a trip for 2 nights and then came back and stayed 3 nights - we found the location was very good, the staff where very helpful, we were given a re-furbished room which was quite small but very clean the first 2 nights. When we came back to the hotel... More

There's nothing wrong with this hotel, but there isn't much that is great either. I'd say it has delusions of grandeur, as they want to think that they're this high end boutique place, when in reality they're very average. The rooms are very small (its impossible to even walk around the bed without turning sideways). The free in-room wifi was... More

We stayed at the Rica Grand for five days in February 2012. Small, clean well equiped warm en-suite room, TV, internet, tea/coffee making facilities and a hair drying. Excellent buffet breakfast - as much as you can eat and two bars. Truly great, helpful staff both in Reception, the dining rooms and everywhere else. We'd happily recommend ity to our... More

Had to book this hotel as it was the only one with available rooms in down-town Tromsø. Nearly all hotels are centrally located, and so is this. Hence, no extra points for location. All that was available was a so-called superior room. Not sure what that is supposed to entail, but the room does have a water-boiler and a tiny... More

The bathroom was big, with a old-fashionned setting. Here might also... More
