Quality Hotel Grand Tromsø stands at Storgata 44, on the main street in the heart of the city, and it carries a three-class rating. It has 176 rooms and holds the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for its sustainability work, which is a useful sign of how the building is run. The location is the main asset: Tromsø Cathedral and the Art Museum of Northern Norway are about a minute away on foot, the Tromsø Centre for Contemporary Art is around seven minutes, and Polaria and the Polar Museum are each roughly eight. A free breakfast buffet and free in-room Wi-Fi are included, and there is a bar for a drink after a day in the cold. The hotel is also pet friendly, which is not common in the city, for a small nightly fee per stay.
Location and getting around
The whole centre of Tromsø is walkable from here. Mack Brewery is within about ten minutes on foot, so a visit to the famous pub or the beer safari needs no taxi, and the harbour and its tour meeting points are close. The airport is about a fifteen minute drive away. The hotel has no parking of its own according to guest reports, so if you arrive by car ask about nearby car parks before you book.
Rooms and facilities
Expect practical modern rooms rather than design flourishes. The free breakfast buffet is a real asset on early departures, and coffee and tea are available in the lobby. There is a lift, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry and dry cleaning, and shared workspaces if you need to catch up on email.
A restaurant is mentioned, but one guest notes that breakfast is the only meal served, so plan dinner in town. There is no sauna or gym, so if those matter choose one of our other hotels. Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is at noon, with fees for early check-in and late check-out.
Who it suits
First-time visitors who want to walk everywhere, couples on a mid-range budget, and travellers with a pet. It is lively because of its position on the main street, so ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper. On a short stay it is hard to beat for the combination of price, breakfast and central position. Because it sits right next to the cathedral, the evening concert there is a natural plan.
