Scandic Ishavshotel in Tromsø was the perfect base for our Arctic experience. The location couldn’t have been better—right on the waterfront with stunning views of the harbour, city lights, and surrounding snow-covered landscapes. It’s also incredibly convenient, with the airport express bus and tour pick-ups dropping us right at the door, saving time and effort in cold conditions. The hotel itself is beautifully styled in classic Scandinavian design, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Our room was comfortable and cosy, with large windows letting in the picturesque views, perfect for watching the snowfall. After late nights chasing the northern lights, it was a wonderful place to return to. Breakfast here was excellent, with a wide selection including local options and great coffee—ideal fuel before heading out into the Arctic air. Be warned though, when they say breakfast finishes at 10am, they mean it! I was trying to fill my plate as they cleared everything away! The hotel’s proximity to key attractions like the Troll Museum and city centre shops made it easy to explore Tromsø at a relaxed pace. The staff were friendly and efficient, adding to the overall smooth experience. From check-in to check-out, everything worked seamlessly, allowing us to focus on enjoying our trip. Scandic Ishavshotel is a little touch of luxury and warmth in a remote and icy part of the world. If you’re visiting Tromsø, especially for northern lights tours or Arctic adventures, this hotel is hard to beat.

We paid the bit extra to get a room with a view over the river and would highly recommend you do this. The view changed constantly and was superb. The room was warm but not too hot. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. You can choose if and when you want your room cleaned and we found the cleaners to be very helpful and would slot you in for a time convenient to you. The shower gave instant hot water from either an overhead giant head or an alternative lower flexible head. Soap and shampoo were in fixed dispensers on the walls. The room was equipped with cups and a kettle with a Twinings tea selection (you could take tea from the downstairs breakfast bar to to personalize your room selection). There was a small fridge in the room so you could keep fresh milk for your hot drinks. Breakfast was literally the best buffet I have ever experienced with all the usual hot and cold foods and some more Norwegian style foods. The hotel is centrally situated and all our booked excursions left from either outside the hotel or within a two minute walk. Our weather was terrible (rain every day) so we were so glad we had our cosy room with the huge window so we could enjoy watching the fishing boats and cruise ships while the rain lashed down. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again. We had room 454.

Scandic Ishavshotel is situated very conveniently in the city and have a wonderful view of the harbour, overlooking moutains, the Arctic Cathedral and residences. It is a very beautiful and peaceful sight. It is also near to many eateries, shopping belt and also to pick up points for organised tours. Great location! The room is reasonably size, we were able to open up two 30" luggages and still have walking space in the room. The bed was just a little soft for me but it did not give me any backache. The breakfast spread was wide and superb. Great choices of food, much to choose from.

Excellent location. Almost all tours depart from the area. Breakfast was good for every taste. Bathroom was updated and hotel was quiet, except for the occasional group returning from late aurora hunting, but not a big deal. If you rent a car, the hotel has no parking and that is advertised. Consider to pay around 35euros per night, or 70 for full day in the nearby parking, or use the underground in the tunnels.

The hotel was really nice, our room was not quite as big as anticipated but that wasn’t really a problem as the view was fantastic, the shower was great too with plenty of hot water which was ideal after being out all day in the cold weather on trips etc. The breakfasts were superb too and the location was brilliant for the tours we had booked. Lots of bars and restaurants within close proximity too.
