    excellent breakfast

    Family with children good choice

    The breakfast was excellent, just loaded with options and I really appreciated that the staff was super friendly, made you feel welcomed, even got to chat a bit with them. The lounge area was nice too, good place to relax and unwind with free coffee and tea , we took advantage of that a lot!

    It wasn't inexpensive, but you get what you pay for, I guess.

    array of breakfast options
    small room size

    The breakfast was phenomenal, with an array of

    choices including bacon, eggs, and crepes. The staff was also incredibly friendly, leaving us a fruit tray for our special occasion. However, the room was smaller than expected, but it was sufficient for our needs during the stay.

    friendly staff
    poor cleaning standards
    lack of towels

    Responsive and friendly staff.

    Our stay was ruined by the room cleaning standards. After two days, the floor was visibly dirty and dust accumulated. Despite repeated requests to the receptionist, they simply ignored our complaints. On one occasion, we returned in the afternoon to find our room hadn't been cleaned at all, and after waiting two hours, we discovered that only the towels were replaced, leaving the bed unmade. To make matters worse, the hotel ran out of shower towels, forcing us to use hand towels instead.

    I enjoyed my stay at Thon Hotel Polar. The exceptional breakfast buffet featured a delightful variety of local specialties, and the central location made exploring Tromsø easy. A minor downside was the noisy street outside, but the overall comfort made it worthwhile.

    lack of milk

    Great spot for a Tromso adventure!

    We had an awesome stay! The room was cozy and warm—loved the decor and had everything we needed. Breakfast was solid with a nice mix of hot and cold foods. The staff was super friendly and fixed our room issue right away. Only thing? There could've been a bit more milk for the tea. Overall, a fab base for exploring!

    fantastic location
    diverse breakfast
    poor food temperature
    darkening curtain issue
    variable staff responsiveness

    The location is fantastic, just a short walk to excursions and local amenities. Breakfast offered diverse options, including fresh unlimited pancakes, which were a highlight. However, some of the cooked foods were not served hot. Additionally, while the comfort of the room was commendable, darkening curtains are necessary for truly good sleep during the night light. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience with friendly staff who were always willing to assist.
