Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although it was a bit different from the photos online, was decent overall, but there were some issues like a cracked handbasin and inconveniently placed columns. The noise from other guests was also a downside. On the bright side, the service was friendly and helpful, and the location was very central, making it easy to explore Tromso. However, the presence of a shop selling sex toys next door was not ideal.
The hotel is centrally located, offering modern and comfortable rooms with stylish bathrooms. The service is kind and accommodating, though there were some issues with timing and room maintenance. The location is perfect for exploring the city, with easy access to shops and dining options. The dining experience offers a great selection of fresh and tasty food, making it a top choice in Tromsoe. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were small but tidy, with a nice touch of a heated floor in the bathroom and a cute picture of a polar bear above my bed. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who catered to our needs. The location couldn’t have been better, just a short walk away from the main street and close to all attractions. The dining experience was delicious, offering a great variety of local foods. Overall, a great value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were a bit small but had nice amenities like a mini bar and tea/coffee facilities. The service was really helpful and friendly, with staff going the extra mile to make my stay enjoyable. The location was superb, right in the city center with easy access to everything. The dining experience was fantastic, offering a wide selection of delicious food. However, the only downside was that dining started a bit late at 8 am.
I had a mixed experience at Hotel Polar. The rooms were recently refurbished, offering plenty of space and a beautiful view of the church, mountains, and fjord. However, the narrow layout was unexpected compared to the business double rooms I had booked previously. The room had a large smart TV which was perfect for entertainment but lacked some essentials like teaspoons with the kettle. The service was top-notch, with the breakfast buffet being a particular highlight. The location was superb, close to transportation and key attractions, although adjusting the heating was a bit challenging. The dining options provided a good selection but were sometimes inflexible in accommodating requests outside specific times. Despite these slight drawbacks, the overall experience was positive.
The hotel is located right in the city center, making it very convenient for exploring Tromso. The rooms have a slightly outdated decor but are spacious and comfortable. The service provided by the staff is friendly and welcoming. The dining experience could be improved as some elements are not up to par. Overall, a decent option for a stay in Tromso.
