A great location and wonderful views
We had a great stay at the Scandic Ishavshotel. After a lot of debate about which hotel to pick we are really pleased with our choice. The location is brilliant - close access to every location and the bus routes. The view from the room is absolutely stunning and the breakfast is delicious any day.
We dropped a point for the fact that it is phenomenally busy with a big turn over of guests so we struggled to get a seat at breakfast each morning.
We did notice this big turnover also meant that although lovely and friendly the staff didn’t engage as much with guests as they would with a smaller hotel - this isn’t a fault though, more a preference.
Can highly recommend for a trip to Tromso.

Perfect location in Tromso on harbour front. Bus stop for Airport Express immediately outside. Many tour groups have pick up at hotel or within 5kin walking distance. Most sights easily walkable
Buffet breakfast is very generous, wide variety including tasty local food.

The property is right by the ocean with stunning views of Tromsø. Their restaurant is amazing and has some of the best food we’ve tried in Norway. Strategically located close to stores, restaurants; points of interest and where many tours and activities depart from.
