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.

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.

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.
