Clarion Hotel® The Edge

The response from this hotel pre arrival was quick & it helped us in planning our route to the hotel. The airport express bus stop is about 2 to 3 mins away from the hotel. & the hotel gives a nice view of the harbour. The location is ideal as most tour booking points are within 5mins walk from the hotel. The breakfast spread is amazing! You'd not want to miss it especially if you have a long day ahead. The only thing I was disappointed with was the toilet space. It is only about 1m width & it's kinda cramped. Also, more hooks to hang clothes would be great cos the wardrobe was small & there were only 4 hanging hooks near the door. The room we got was facing the buildings more than the harbour side but it still gives us a great view nonetheless.

The 2 best things about this place are Breakfast and Location. Most of the tour pick-ups are 2-3 mins walking distance from the hotel. But so are Raddison Blu, Thon and Scandic hotels. The rooms are very small. Be prepared to live out of your suitcase. The breakfast is really good. The water temperature and pressure in shower was good. I heard lot of visitors complain to the reception about poor insulation and insufficient heating in their rooms. There is no phone in the room, so you have to go down for everything. Our room was slightly cold but we managed. After reading all the great reviews here, I was expecting much more. But sadly that's not the case.

We loved this hotel, definitely a great option to stay in Tromso. The facilities are modern, the rooms very spacious and with an incredible view of the mountains. The breakfast is spectacular, with a super varied buffet. The Sky Bar has a very nice atmosphere and again a nice view. The best thing is the location, the hotel is right in the center of Tromso, just a few steps from where all the tours start.

Very good location by the water and walking distance to restaurants, shopping and bars. We stayed on the twelfth floor facing the water and city. Great views of the sunrise and sunset. Slept deeply with their nice bed, huge soft pillows and down comforters. The bathroom was nicely laid out and comfortable to move around in. Breakfast was terrific with a good selection of hot and cold food, coffee and hot cocoa machines, omelette station. Lovely breads and salmon galore. Their restaurant The Social had an amazing hamburger. I never thought I’d sing praises of a burger but it is well deserved. The staff were very friendly and efficient, keeping the place clean and running smoothly. Highly recommend if you’re in Tromso for an ArctIc holiday.

When I arrived to check in around noon they told me my room wasn't ready... My friends checked in with the same person right after me and were told their room was ready. Same size room. I was a little miffed. They had more luggage so they needed it more than me but... still. I was able to store my luggage in their room. We both had the elevator right in front of our room which can be loud if someone gets off the elevator still talking. I asked for ice when I checked in and he told me to come back down and get it... Really? It was a convenient location close to the main street, bus stop for the airport and the whale watching was right across the street. Bed was comfortable, nice bath products including lotion. One of the front clerks was great at giving me instructions to the bus stop...
