Clarion Collection Hotel Aurora

The location of the hotel is great, with restaurants, shops and pick up for trips basically on your doorstep. The jacuzzi has a lovely view across the harbour. The staff were really helpful and communication was brilliant since the initial booking was made Good breakfast that set us up for the day! Plenty of variety and buffet style so you can help yourself.

Recently, we had an unforgettable stay at Hotel Aurora in Tromsø, and I must say that our expectations were exceeded. The hotel offers excellent services that are truly above standard. The atmosphere was very pleasant and cozy, which contributed to a fantastic experience. The room we had was simply incredible—spacious, elegantly decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. In the relaxation area, we enjoyed the hot tub, which was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful Tromsø. A special mention goes to the receptionist, Anulu, whose willingness and friendly approach completely transformed our stay into an unforgettable experience. Her attention to detail and effort to make our stay as pleasant as possible was truly commendable. Another advantage of the hotel is that they are very pet-friendly, which delighted us as we could bring our dogs along. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Aurora to anyone looking for a great place to stay with exceptional services. Everything here was more than excellent, but the credit for our fantastic stay goes undoubtedly to Anulu. We would love to return here!

The property is in an amazing location and central to absolutely everything, you couldn’t get a better location. The hotel isn’t the most modern however it’s very comfortable and welcoming. The beds are so comfy and the pillow which covers the entire bed is the nicest pillow I’ve ever slept on and I travel a lot. It was such an amazing sleep. I actually need to find these pillows and buy one for my home. The food was lovely and I found the breakfast to be brilliant with lots of options and although the evening meal is quite limited, what you do get is delicious. There’s always a hot soup, amazing fresh bread and a main choice with veg, potatoes and salad. We stayed 3 evenings and there was a different homemade soup each night (mushroom, minestrone, Thai soup) and the mains were fish pasta bake, chicken curry and the last evening pork in a cream sauce and all 3 were delicious. I really enjoyed the hotel despite it being a little old fashioned, it was charming, welcoming and homely which is what you want after braving the wintery Elements.

All the meals are included : the breakfast buffet (with eggs and bacon, potatoes, sausages, ham, cheese, salmon, yogurt, cereals, croissants, many types of crackers and bread, and gluten free options), the afternoon cake called "fika", and light dinner. No lunch. You can also have coffee or tea free of charge anytime, and you also have access to sauna and you can book a jacuzzi. The beds are also really comfortable, excellent to sleep in after a long night of aurora hunting. The location is amazing, right in the center near the harbor, and less than 5 minutes walk from every meeting point for all the tours in Tromsø.

Great quality breakfast and evening meal, nice rooms and friendly staff. Enjoyed Sauna. Great location and the fica is a nice touch. I would definitely come back here. Staff were able to accommodate for both gluten free and vegan upon request.
