Like some other Thons, the appropriately-named Polar hotel has an Egons restaurant built into it that provides a good breakfast and nice seating. The immediate area is safe but a tad seedy. A sex shop is next to the hotel entrance. (There is a different Thon's hotel across the street). Downtown Tromso is small so this hotel is centrally located... More

Considering this is an "economic" hotel, it is a very good one. The rooms are small but clean. The breaskfast is fantastic at the Egon! Also, the staff is really friendly and helpfull. We had to leave the hotel very early in the morning, so we didn't have time for breakfast. The staff, when booking the taxi, offered us to... More

As mentioned by other reviewers, the hotel location is a big plus. When you are on a short trip and do not want to waste a lot of time traveling this hotel can be a good option. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was ok - not very congested but I would have preferred more storage space for... More

Friendly young lady checked us in, everything went smooth. The room was small but acceptable. Everything was clean. The breakfast was served in the adjacent restaurant and was really incredible. And I would suggest you eat a large breakfast, because eating out in Norway is very expensive. We only stayed 1 night. Location is close by to the domkirke, the... More

Over a period of 3 days, after 10 days in China at hotels in world class at cheap price, is was a new reality to come to this hotel. In the middle of Tromsø, the location is perfect; walking distance to everything. The rooms are low budget level and the breakfast was quite OK. Price pr night is n correlation... More

The hotel is pretty much a central location. The bus from and to the airport stops outside and takes around 15 minutes at the most and was cheaper than a taxi. We paid for bed and breakfast and the breakfast was ok not the best but sufficient enough for the few days we were there. Food and drink is expensive,... More

Fantastic staff - always very helpful, and always very warm and welcoming. The free buffet breakfast is very adequate, with plenty of breads, pastries, fruits, cold meats, and some hot food. There is also plenty of seating in the restaurant, and the set-up of the restaurant means you can have plenty of privacy if you wish. Perfect to sit and... More

We stayed at the Thon Hotel Polar in Tromso again this year. When we arrived there was a problem with the Computer and we were given the wrong room. However, Martin at the reception could not have been more apologetic, and arranged to give us the room we requested the next night and for the rest of our stay. We... More
