Thon Hotel Tromsø is at Grønnegata 50 and offers 152 rooms across six floors in a building from 2010, which means rooms and bathrooms feel recent compared with older central hotels. Its property class is three. The position is excellent for sightseeing on foot: Tromsø Cathedral and the Art Museum of Northern Norway are about a minute away, the contemporary art centre is five minutes, Polaria is about six and the Polar Museum eight. Breakfast is a free buffet, served from 7 to 10 am on weekdays and from 8 to 11 am at weekends, and Wi-Fi is free in all rooms and some public areas. A small gym, a snack bar or deli, a terrace and a computer station add useful extras.
Location and transport
Almost every central attraction is within a short walk, and the airport is about nine minutes away by car. There is no onsite parking, so arrive without a car or arrange parking elsewhere in town. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, a concierge, luggage storage and a lift, and the route into the building is wheelchair accessible. Laundry and dry cleaning are available, which helps on a longer winter trip when you want dry layers every day.
Rooms and practicalities
Rooms are straightforward and quiet-minded, in the style Nordic business hotels do well. Check-in is from 3 pm until midnight, check-out is before noon, and contactless check-out is possible. The hotel asks guests to contact it at least 72 hours before arrival to arrange check-in, and in advance if arriving after 4 pm, so read the arrival instructions carefully after you book. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome. There is no sauna, restaurant or bar listed, so plan evenings in the town centre or use the snack bar.
Who it suits
Travellers who value a modern room, a good breakfast and a short walk to the harbour, such as couples, small groups and anyone planning early tours. Compared with our other Thon option, Thon Hotel Polar, this one is closer to the cathedral quarter and newer in feel. It is a sensible choice for a short stay of two to four nights, and the free breakfast keeps costs down in an expensive city.
