Review of Ami Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 26, 2013
We found this place using Trip Advisor, and we couldn't be happier. We're in room 42 which offers a great view of the city, mountains, and fjords. Plus it's on the top floor so no one trampling on top of you. The place is clean, our room is great (complete with sink, fridge, couple nice black chairs, single bed, queen bed, t.v. and a great view). So if you don't mind the hostel atmosphere, this is a great, clean place to spend a couple of nights (a bit outdated if anything, but clean which is always a good thig!). Plus you can't beat the price!!
Date of stay: January 2013
Room Tip: Top floor was a hit with us. Great views!! #42

Situated in the centre of Tromsø, 5 minutes walking from the pedestrian street and most of the restaurants. It's next to a little park in a quiet street.
It's a budget guesthouse, so don't expect any luxury. Rooms are kind of basic, but clean and having everything one needs.
Downstairs in the common area you find a kitchen guests can use. Breakfast buffet is pretty good.
Good value (for Norway)

In Tromsø you Can stay in many different nice hotels. Some of them are international chain hotel and very often it's more about fancy facilities and design than about people.
In AMI hotel it's all about people. It's the nicest place to meet people from all over the world. In this place people actually talk to each other and pay interest to what we all are doing and what we plan to do.
This is not the most fancy place - rooms and public area are basic, but everything is nice and stimulate the nice atmosphere.
My husband and I truly recommend thus place - here you will meet people in all ages and from all over the world.
The fact that you can cook your own dinner is nice. It's also nice that there's always coffee and thee and always somebody ready for a quick talk in the living room.

A group of four of us travelled to Norway in February to see the aurora. Having flown from Gatwick via Oslo, we arrived quite late at the Hotel Ami, and it took us a while to gain access. Once inside this wood panelled hotel, we had to help ourselves to room keys from a security box only to find that one of the rooms was not what we had booked! A quick phone call from the telephone at the unmanned reception sorted that out, and we retired for the night. The rooms were well proportioned, and suitably equipped, and we slept well having been on the go since 4 o'clock that morning!!
Breakfast was a real adventure - you could choose from any hot drink you fancied, including a very good coffee; boiled eggs done for 4, 6 or 10 minutes; cereals and fruit; ham, all sorts of cheese; different types of bread etc - and you could eat as much as you liked. Afterwards, you rinsed your cutlery and crockery under the tap, and placed them in a tray ready for, what seemed, the only member of staff to load them into a dishwasher!!
We stayed for three nights, and really enjoyed the quirkiness of the setup - food was available at any time of the day, but, other than breakfast (which was included in the price), you had to pay up to NK40 (about £5) for any additional meals.
The setting of the hotel was great, looking down over a park to the city centre - mind you, climbing the steps across the park could be fun, especially with the best part of a foot of snow lying!!
It is wise to book well in advance, we did 4 months ahead, to make sure you get rooms of your choice.
If we return to Tromso, we will definitely stay in the Hotel Ami again.

Room tip: An en suite bedroom is advisable.

No one in their right mind would describe Norway as being a good place to travel for the budget conscious. Prices in this northern nation are what are technically known as "snooker loopy". After using up my last gold bars for a pizza in Bodo, I decided the budget (relatively speaking) AMI hotel would be a good option for me, lest my accountant suffer another an aneurism.

One of the things that impressed me right of the bat was the location. Overlooking the beautiful downtown area, the hotel is a few blocks from the city center. It's an easy walk to town. Getting back to the hotel is a different matter as the hill is rather steep. Be sure to bring your crampons.

Getting into the hotel was also a bit of an interesting experience. I arrived very early in the morning and there is no 24 hour reception being a lower cost hotel. So to get in in this case, my understanding is you have to type in a key code that is supposed to be sent to you via email. However, for one reason or another, I never received this code so I was forced to wake the reception to get in. I won't take off any points for this as my apology for having to wake someone up at 5 am.

Once inside, the hotel is quite cozy with several nice public sitting areas and a small dining corner where a small but quite pleasant breakfast is served. The receptionist was very pleasant despite being woken up at 5am. I would have beaten me with a cricket bat so this was quite nice. Even better, I was able to get to my room as there was an empty one available so I could get some rest after a long train ride.

The rooms themselves are basic. All the essentials are present and everything was clean. You won't find anything fancy here but for the price, this was expected. You may need to watch your head in a few. In my room, the ceiling was slanted over the bed and was low enough for me to hit my head on if I wasn't careful. There is a sink in the rooms. Bathroom facilities are shared for most rooms. There are several bathrooms throughout the hotel so finding an open one when that burrito came back for revenge wasn't an issue.

Final thoughts: If you are looking for a cheap, no frills yet high quality hotel in Tromso, this is probably your only choice, and it's a good one.

Room tip: Try to get a room on the higher floors so you can be away from the street noise. Also, try for a seaview.
