Midnight Daylight Stay
We had the windowed corner all the way at the top during "midnight summer". You can see it in the hotel picture. The view was fantastic! It was sunny 24/7 which was truly amazing. There was no AC and once of the windows was locked so there couldn't be any cross draft. There was a fan, though. It was hot in there even though the outside temp never rose above 65° outside. Hotel breakfast was extensive and delicious but a scrum of people every day. Hotel staff were very nice people but you're kind of on your own, IMO.

View looking south in the middle of the early June night. Sleep? Ha!
Looking out into the nearby fjord from the top floor at 3AM in Tromso's broad June daylight.
Tromso town sleeps while the sun shines bright in the middle of the night. Fascinating.

Watch out, 900 NOK parking tickets at hotel drop
The room was clean and comfortable as usual at Scandic. There was an excellent buffet breakfast, also as usual. The receptionist put us in a large room (Scandic's rooms are notoriously small) which turned out to be for the disabled. What he didn't do is warn us that the unloading/ loading parking pullout in front of the hotel has very strict rules. We took 9 minutes to check in and drop our bags in the room and return to the car. We know it was 9 minutes because that was on the 900 NOK parking ticket we got. No warning at reception, no signs on the hotel door indicating, nothing. And the city no parking sign is plastered with stickers on both sides. Oh well, 900 kroner, only money, right? But it could have been avoided if we had been given the information and one of us stayed with the car.

Multiple options to get to and from the airport. We got in late so we took a taxi was about $40 for a family of 4. There is a shuttle that goes to or near most of the hotels we took that back to the airport it was about $25. The hotel is convenient to most of the city center. Nothing was more than a few blocks away. Especially if you have tours booked liked we did. The room was spacious, which was nice since we were there for 4 nights. Great breakfast, lots of options. Definitely worth staying at if you want to make the most of Tromso!

Relatively expensive hotel with micro rooms- like an interior cabin on a third rate cruise line. Breakfast was chaos. Too many people in too small a space. People spilled out into the lobby looking for seats. No service at all. Picked over buffet

Great Hotel in Tromso
Got a pretty great room that was bigger (Family room) and all the amenities were nice. We missed a view of the town, mountains and water- we could only see the interior of hotel. Next time I will definitely ask for a sliver of a view and pay for it. We just were not aware of the layout of this hotel. Breakfast was fantastic and the front desk employees very nice and helpful. Thank you!
