Absolutely fabulous location. Close to public transport routes, shops, bars and restaurants, the marina, Polaria and main areas in Tromso. Staff were incredibly warm and accommodating. My husband got sick and I got extra pillows, cause he took all of mine. Reception desk seems always packed and busy, but it clears up swiftly. Very good breakfasts - LOVED the variety. The hotel uses Rituals body products, which I think is fantastic. No need for extra hair conditioner, they've got the good stuff. Good hairdryer also.

While our room had spectacular views, it could have been cleaned better. There was visible dust and hair on the floor my side of the bed and the windowsill. Last day I noticed stains on the curtains as well. Be careful when using the 'do not clean' tag, as the decision stays until you revert it at the front desk. The room was big, but the bathroom was tiny, just something to be prepared for. Can't wash your undies in the long but narrow sink, use the service the hotel offers. Absolutely no parking in the area, park underground in the tunnel. Reminder: Skybar is not open every night - check out opening days & hours if you plan on taking photos.

Hotel Clarion, The Edge. We really enjoyed our nine days at the hotel. Our room on the seventh floor was lovely, clean and comfortable, with a huge window overlooking the harbour, bridge, and Arctic Cathedral on the other side. We could sit and watch ships, boats and small yachts coming and going all day. Location could not have been better. We were right beside the bus station and easy walking from the small boat harbour, shops, restaurants, supermarkets and tourist attractions. Breakfast was a feast fit for kings. Everything was laid out as a buffet. Pretty to look at, and delicious to eat. There was a variety of fish, cold meats, cheeses, vegetables, pickles, fresh fruit and cooked breakfast such as bacon, sausage, eggs, mushrooms. Teas, coffees and freshly baked loaves of bread with butter and jams. There was a homely relaxed feeling to the hotel. The staff were lovely. They could not have been more helpful. Everyone to whom we spoke was kind enough to stand and chat for a while. Indeed many of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel more than welcome. All in all, a great place to stay in Tromso.

I love the location, the breakfast variety and staff was really friendly, esp Norah. The curtains worked for 95% during polar days so I did get a good amount of sleep, thank you for that. I love their ritual products :) I’d appreciate slippers and a bathrobe in the room, I guess you can ask at the reception— didnt try it

I guess you can’t turn off the AC? But it’s really silent, so I didn’t mind… I even liked that it’s a bit colder in the room esp during polar days. They suggest some times for breakfast that are less busy but I tried them all and they were all pretty busy… so that’s the only downside… the entrance has to be fixed asap :D this isnt too pleasing. The roof is open only during the time the bar is open :/ 15-00 I think? Or 23, I don’t know but I’d rather if I can visit it anytime without the need of a drink

Excellent breakfast, quality food with great selection of different food categories - for sure something for everybody. Friendly and helpful staff at the hotel. Room was not very large but enough for comfortable stays, views were great from the room, bed was comfortable (even if pillows were very soft). Reception and arrival to this hotel was great as they nicely offered us early check-in already at around 9 a.m. as we had an early flights to town. Very central location in the center of the city, next to harbor, but station, etc.

It was not a problem for us, but hotel was running low on staff and they asked if it is ok not to clean rooms daily - for us this was totally OK, and hotel readily offered us any extra supplies of towels, coffee etc to compensate this.

* Breakfast--outstanding! With so much variety, we tried something new every morning. We had an early morning departure and ordered the to-go breakfast--it was perfect! * Location--ideal! A quick walk to the meeting point for all of our tours, as well as restaurants, cafes, and shops was convenient. It was also easy to access the local transportation and taking the bus was so easy to navigate. * Staff--friendly, professional, and personable. * Room--clean, comfortable, and quiet with basic amenities and a minimalist Scandinavian vibe. Beds were comfortable and bedding was warm. A kettle for tea/coffee was available. We enjoyed the view from our quiet room. It was a wonderful stay!

The open shower/bathroom was efficient, albeit a little chilly when showering, and we didn't care for the wet floors, but they did dry quickly. The room was small, without much room for luggage, but we managed just fine. None of these quirks were problematic, and they didn’t detract from our overall experience.

The staff were great, both at check in and throughout our stay. The quality and range of breakfast was outstanding, and probably the best of any hotel that we have stayed at. The bathroom is in reality a wet-room with a decent shower. The hotel is centrally located, which was ideal for bus connections, excursions and for navigating around Tromso. Our room also has a nice view to the south, looking across the fjord.

For a Superior Room, I thought that the room was quite small. Wardrobe space was very limited. The shower worked well, but there was nowhere to place/hang anything in the shower enclosure. The TV was fiddly to use.

Location is perfect for the bus station, pier, and bars/restaurants. You're in the heart of the town, with everything a short walk away. The staff are very helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. Hotel breakfast options are exceptional; the food quality is excellent, with lots of choice. Opening times are favorable for early risers and those taking it easy. The rooms are functional but reasonably spacious. There is a cool walk-in shower available with fresh towels and soaps, shampoos, etc. The bed is really comfortable, and we slept very well.

The hotel is pricey in high season; don't expect to stay here on the cheap. With few beer options and no entertainment, the bar is mediocre. There is a rooftop SkyBar with DJ that opens on weekend nights only. I wouldn't recommend it though, other than for the view (which is nice).

Loved the friendliness of the staff, the location was perfect and the rooms were clean. Breakfast was really good too!

No cash dealt with in the whole hotel or a lot of Norway in general, which was difficult for young travellers like me and my partner as we do not have credit cards, so get charged extra whenever we used our debit cards. Rooms were also small for what we paid for - we were aware we were paying for compact rooms, but for over £1000 for 2 of us for 4 nights we thought the rooms could have been a little bigger. The room we did get was fantastic with a beautiful view though.

Overall this is a lovely hotel in a good location, providing the facilities that you would expect. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful; the breakfast was generous, with a wide variety of options.

My only complaint is the size of the rooms; for the equivalent of £350 per night, we were put into a matchbox-sized room, where we could not even leave the suitcase open if we wanted to get round the room. Norway is an expensive country to visit, and I do understand this complaint applies to the hotel prices in general, but this was above and beyond ridiculous. As a comparison, the hotel we stayed at in Bergen was cheaper, with the room size being 50% bigger. Don't let this put you off visiting Tromso, which is a wonderful destination, but do go prepared.

The location is perfect for tours and the views are excellent. You will see the Northern Lights through your cameras at some point. The breakfast buffet is excellent, get used to the sharp knife for cutting bread for those who like the most perfect toast… keep your kids away from it though! The room was fine with a good bathroom.

The internet where our room was, wasn’t very good, an essential these days for booking tours etc. We didn’t have a safe which was surprising. Although we stayed over NYE I still thought the hotel was pricey for its rating and should have included more, free mini bar, maybe the odd evening dinner offer.
