“What struck me most was the central location; it's a short walk to many Tromso attractions, and you can book excursions right in the lobby. The staff is remarkably helpful, and the inclusive breakfast, with gluten-free options, is a real standout. I'd say this is a solid choice for anyone wanting convenience and comfort.”
