Amalie Hotel  

We first tried to book the other hotel but it was not available so we chose the nearest one. Though, it's only 5 mins walk to where we wanted to go. The staffs were friendly and helpful.

Location to city centre and port

The hotel is located right in the heart of Tromso, within walking distance of all amenities. It's close to the harbour too. The staff were all so friendly, and our rooms were spotlessly clean, as was the remainder of the hotel. The breakfast buffet was excellent, as was the free tea, coffee and hot chocolate throughout the day; they also offer free waffle making facilities in the afternoons making this a good choice for the budget conscious-traveller as eating and drinking in Tromso is very expensive. The staff were also able to give us lots of information on the area, buses to catch, etc, which helped to make our short stay even more enjoyable.

the staff was extremely friendly. the room was comfortable with a fantastic view. breakfast buffet was excellent. it was a two weeks long perfect place to be.

Staff were so friendly and helpfull Great Breakfast

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 location is excellent, right in the centre of town, easy walk to all the museums, we could see the ship between two office buildings and it was just a short walk to board the Heurtegruten ship. The staff were excellent, helpful, the breakfast was great, cold cuts, fish, bacon eggs, cereals, juices and lots more. There was a nice italian restaurant right next door which is cheaper than lots of places - Norway is really expensive to eat out. The room was small but was fine for us, had everything we needed, and it was nice to be able to control the heating temperature in the room too. Beds and quitls were comfortable. Would recomment this hotel without a second thought.

Superb location.Very close to the centre, the wooden Cathedral, dockside and tic. Really had a 'Norwegian' feel which I liked. Excellent buffet breakfast. A very clean hotel. The bed and sleep experience was the best I have ever had in a hotel - a nicer bed than my own in fact! Very happy to recommend and would stay again.

I would have liked more storage. There was only 3 coat hangers and a shelf inside and alcove and one small drawer. We found it difficult to find the hotel initially as you can't see a hotel sign from the main road, but once you have found it it was easy.

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-

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

Rolig og stille hotell.
