“Home Hotel Aurora stands out with its central Sjøgata location, rooftop jacuzzi that offers Northern Lights views, and complimentary dining, including an evening meal; however, some rooms show wear, contrasting with otherwise excellent service. It's a solid choice in Tromso, especially appealing for its inclusive amenities and prime access to city life.”

The location is pretty good. several museums are nearby. That was handy. i also found the breakfast and dinner offerings satisfactory. the receptionists were generally helpful and friendly.

i didn't get a bathrobe or disposable flip-flops in my room. i needed them for the sauna and jacuzzi and that was annoying. i learned that i could rent a bathrobe. also, cleaning wasn't regular so i had to specifically request it, which incurred an extra charge.
