Not sure why, but we happened to be upgraded to the Panorama suite and it was an absolutely beautiful room - very large with an amazing view (and balcony) looking out to the harbour. The location of the hotel is ideal and breakfast was good. We really enjoyed our stay.

On a picturesque waterside location in Tromsø, which is often referred to as the Paris of the North, is Scandic Ishavshotel, offering stunning views of the harbour and city. Almost all rooms at the Scandic Ishavshotel are located at the very end of the quay and provide panoramic views of the surroundings. The Lobby Restaurant, along with Restaurant Roast cater for all guest’s food needs, with delicious, traditional Norwegian cuisine. For refreshing drinks and night time socializing, visit the Roast Bar, located right by the water and offering views of the Tromsø Bridge and a famous architectural landmark, the Arctic Cathedral.
