I booked with this hotel based on price, location, and the advertisement said there was parking available. The day I was leaving on my flights, I received a call saying that my room was moved to a sister hotel. I asked for the address and they said they would send me an sms with the new information. By the time I arrived, I still had not received a sms with the new hotel info so decided to drive to the hotel. When I got there it was completely closed due to renovations, so I had to find the number that originally called me to ask for the new hotel information. The check in at the new hotel (city hotel) was easy, however the parking was an unexpected extra fee that came to over around $120 for 4 nights. Additionally, the breakfast that was included in my stay was provided at another sister hotel, so I didn’t even bother trying to make it to another sister hotel every morning. The whole experience was just inconvenient and disappointing.

My flight was delayed, which meant I could not check into the hotel before the reception closed at 8 pm. Because of this the hotel left me instructions on how to collect my key from a safe location which I was grateful for. I was very happy with the service at the hotel and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Very nice and simple hotel, perfect for a solo traveler. Check in after hours was very easy and convenient, I received a text message with a code for the key safe. Complimentary breakfast had good coffee, and a decent amount of choices for food. Very easy to reach on foot from the city center.

We had a lovely two night stay at the Skansen. It is right at the heart of Tromso and you could walk anywhere in the town you wish to be in 10 minutes. There is also a bus stop 2 mins walk away for anywhere further you need to travel. The breakfast is continental style with a good selection of offerings (Coffee is on tap, a must for me) and everything is topped up as the sitting goes on. Highly recommend
