“A Stay in Tromso iduring Total Polar Night”
I stayed for a week at the Rica Ishavshotel in early January, 2011--during total polar night. My single room was comfortable and warm, even though the weather outside was cold and snowy. The heated bathroom floor was a nice touch. I didn't pay the extra daily fee for a sea view, but I did have a nice quay-side view from my room window. Breakfast came with the room and I was offered an array of tasty choices. Although the hotel doesn't offer room service, it does have a contract with a local pizza purveyor and they deliver the pizza directly to one's room, with the cost charged to the hotel room bill. Overall, it's a nice water-front hotel near the tourist information center. This was my second stay there.
“Hotel that offers room with a nice view”
Good hotel, only glitch for this trip is there is construction work outside the hotel which starts at 7am!!
“Just Right”
The restaurant was excellent, the upstairs bar was great for viewing the harbor and the midnight sun. Proximity to all the local attractions and bus lines was excellent. The location is better than the Radisson's.
“What a location!”
This hotel is the place to stay in Tromso. It's right on the waterfront and we had a room overlooking the harbour (I believe most of the rooms overlooked the harbour). The views were fantastic and we were impressed with the meals. Breakfast was excellent and comprehensive, and we ate in the hotel on the first night with supreb food. If we go back to Tromso this hotel would be our first choice
“Just as we hoped!”
The hotel was in a lovely location and when we arrived we asked for a bay room which they managed to accommodate, the view is beautiful! Breakfast is amazing and as Norway is so expensive you could really fill up! The staff aren't overly warm but if you asked them anything they were always really helpful.
“So far, the best hotel I have stayed in in Tromso”
This was my 4th trip to Tromso and this was the best hotel so far. Excellent food, great breakfast, good service and nice rooms. My room had an amazing view of the harbour as the hotel is surrounded by the harbour on three sides.
“Tromso's first choice”
I stayed in Rica Ishavshotel twice in 1Q 2011 and was happy on both occasions. My rooms had great view towards the Arctic Cathedral & mountain ranges. Buffet breakfast was excellent with good choice of fruits, in fact a bit overwhelming. The only drawback is the construction work in the waterfront which can be a bit disturbing if one wishes to sleep in.
“Best place to stay in Tromso”
Would definitely go back to this hotel. Standard room size very adequate, with sofa and great view over the harbour. Great choice of breakfast buffet. Bar is really nice, if busy at the weekend, but we couldn't hear the noise at all from our room. Good little second bar as well. Other hotels in Tromso didn't look as nice as this! Only thing I would change would be bathrobes and conditioner in the bathroom.
“Tromso 2011”
Only complaint - lack of on site parking - had to leave our hire car 10 minutes walk away. Otherwise excellent - very helpful and friendly staff at all times even when we came down to breakfast over half an hour late on the first day !
“Happy but thirsty holidaymakers!”
The Hotel is in a splendid position, and lived up to our expectations. My only adverse comment would be that tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms would have been most welcome, or even expected, in a hotel of this standard. Wonderful breakfast bar! Just as well because the cost of everything in Norway is extortionate! Really enjoyed our stay in Tromso - just a pity the lights were out!!
