Clarion Hotel® The Edge

We stayed here for 3 nights in a Junior Suite on one of the higher floors. Great views from the room, which was quite spacious. Bed was comfortable and breakfast plentiful. All staff encountered were friendly and helpful. Under floor heated bathroom was welcome after standing in the snow hoping to see the Northern Lights!

(Minor complaints: Had to climb over the bed to get to the window, safe deposit box was way too high up in the closet, and the door to the bathroom wasn't really a door -- more like a panel that didn't shut). Otherwise ... A very clean, well-kept room ... efficient space, grand view. A wonderful spectrum of choices for breakfast. Personnel were hospitable. Norah at the front desk was particularly helpful and charming. I really did enjoy chatting with her.

I stayed in this hotel for 6 nights and would recommend this hotel because of -its location. (While the bus is kr26 offpeak and 48 at peak) being able to walk to most places is important to me. -its cleaniness. (Slightly dated in some part of room, but no stains on bed linen, no moulded bathroom) -helpful staff including checkin, conference(?), and housekeeping -good view (may depend on the room type and floor) -wonderful breakfast -good temperature control (18-20 degree Cel) in the room - wooden floor in room (cleaner than carpet) -no bad smell at all even in bathroom - tea and coffee are always available in the lobby. Though self service, still feel warm and welcoming from the freezing outside. - a little desk for working / writing plus a coffee table for other stuff. Two chairs are also included in this compact room which all come in handy. - wifi is available for free - a restaurant is available for dinner if you get hungry anytime after 4pm. I often feel rejected when I didnt make a booking in this town for dinner. So this hotel restaurant can be your safety net. Tips from my point of view: -Room is quite small even i booked a double room. Looks like a compact room to me. But i accepted since I travel solo and was happy about the view. If you care about the space, do go for the bigger rooms. -those hooks in the bathroom can rarely hold the towels without falling on the floor. You will need to think of ways to deal with this. - there are no tooth brush and tooth paste for free. Bring your own, or buy them here. -you may notice that things in this town is quite expensive. No exception for this hotel. This is the most expensive hotel room that I have ever paid for in my life. This money is more than normal 5 stars hotels but please manage your expectation... It's all relative. Since this was the best fit for me among all the hotels here, i still chose this. -there is a lugguage room open access to other customers too. So be prepared to hand carry anything valuable rather than leaving in the luggage room if you are careful. - the weather here in winter may not be very welcoming for someone from the warmer part of the world. So having a good hotel and room is one of the main reasons that I can feel safe and warm here in Tromso. -room is dry. Bring your body moisturizer.

Our stay was amazing. We were checked in by Norah who was absolutely lovely, so welcoming and helpful. Our room was spotless, warm, comfortable and had a fantastic view of the cable cars and port. We slept really well, no noise from outside or other rooms, the bed was very comfortable. The choice and quality at breakfast was amazing, staff were happy, helpful and efficient. The omelette guy was especially cheerful even though he was so busy. Fresh fruit waffles and pancakes were delicious. Huge selection of cheeses, cold meats and fish. The free tea and coffee in the bar area was great, and the views from the Sky bar were incredible. The location was perfect, just a short walk to shops and restaurants. Reception staff when we checked out were great. We definitely recommend this wonderful hotel and beautiful Tromso.

Booked a standard room for 3 nights and after reading the reviews felt we had made the right choice. We were disappointed to be allocated a room with two very small windows and therefore little natural light and no view, it was very basic (we compared it to a Holiday Inn/Travelodge standard). Three pillows between us (very odd), no bottled water, no bathrobes, no slippers...like I said, basic. Reception was never properly staffed with a long wait for anything including check in. Breakfast was good with a plentiful choice. We had housekeeping the first day but she just popped the bath mat back on the shelf and left us with one towel between us so we didn't bother the next day. We had expected a better experience reading other reviews but for us it was just a very ordinary hotel with nothing that stood out.
