Amalie Hotel  

Small, clean, with a little charm in a city where other hotels have none.

Apart from the convenience, really close to the tourist information/booking office and tour pick up points as well as the harbour and city centre, as a smaller family run hotel it was friendly, with things like tea/coffee available at any time - great coming in at midnight after a tour for the aurora, or after a strenuous walk on the hills or around the city - and do it yourself waffles in the affternoon. Also having a nice buffet available before going out for an evening excursion was very convenient.

The instructions for making waffles were only in Norwegian, which was awkward and lead to overfilling of the machine and subsequent spilling of the waffle mixture. This was not something I didn't like; just something that could be improved since many of the occupants and users of the hotel and afternoon waffle making facility were not Norwegian, and perhaps were predominantly English.

The hotel is very well situated. Close to the town shops and restaurants and all the bus stops for airport and Northern Lights trips. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. Good buffet breakfast and tea,coffee and waffles in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend the Amalie, very good service and value for money.

It is a small friendly hotel whose staff are all very helpful and aimable. The breakfast that was included in the price was excellent. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would certainly stay at The Amalie Hotel again and would recommend anyone going to Tromso to do the same.

There is no view from any of the windows at the hotel due to the position, but this would not deter me from staying there again.

I chose the Amelie firstly as a value-for-money location. I had read good reviews on the website, and was not disappointed. Compared to usual "norwegian" prices it was extremely good value, and more comfortable than other budget hotels I have stayed at (notably, in France) - there were nice touches, like pictures on the walls, and a homely, cosy colour scheme. The breakfast was first rate, with a good choice of healthy (and less healthy) options. Staff were efficient.

Although staff were efficient I found them a little on the "brisk" side. I was asked why I needed a 5.15 wake-up call for a 6.00 breakfast. Surely that is my choice. I asked about buses to the cable car, and the member of staff just gave me a timetable. Not unfriendly, but less than I had encountered from either the tourist office or from members of the Tromso public. I was alone in (I think) a double room. The bed may have been a bit narrow for 2 occupants.

A small and cosy hotel that offers all the basic essential facilities that you will need for a short stay. Bathroom is slightly small especially on the basin area where it could pose a problem for woman that like to lay their collection of facial product for easy access. Reasonable price lunch and dinner are available which is a plus consider the food price you will find in the city.

Internet is slow but you can use the "faster" internet at their dedicated laptop in the reception.

Nice size for a hotel with a family atmosphere. I requested a room on the fifth floor due to past comments about the view and I was lucky to be given one which gave me views of the bridge and mountains. Very quiet room had tea/coffee making facilities which I liked. The breakfast choice was more than adequate. Location in the town super for walking around. If I am fortunate to have a return trip to Tromso I would certainly book with the Amalie Hotel again.

located in center, clean, and great value for the cost-

Internett signalet var så svakt at det ikke gikk å jobbe tilfredsstillende

Det var veldig hjemmekoselig atmosfære. Kaffe når man ønsket og mulighet for å steke egne vafler gjorde det veldig hyggelig

Beliggenhet, enkelthet, value for monet

Gjorde akkurat det de skulle

Lite og hyggelig og rolig. Ligger veldig sentralt i byen - nær busstasjon og avgang til flybuss.

Litt trangt inne på rommet - men greit nok
