Clarion Collection Hotel Aurora

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The location is very central and they have (paid) parking right in front. The size of the rooms is ok and they were able to provide connecting rooms for our family. The staff is very friendly, especially at the restaurant, and all the meals (breakfast, afternoon tea/cake, and dinner) are included in your stay. Dinner is somewhat limited, but breakfast options are great. This was also the only hotel during our 2-week trip in Norway that had decent blackout curtains (absolutely necessary in summer). Sauna and a rooftop hot tub are great too.

The staff were very friendly and reception was open all hours. The location of the hotel was prefect because it was close to the main street and also near the water with great views. Within walking distance to a lot of other hotels that were the pick up spots for our activities. Also saw the northern lights from the front of the hotel on two of the nights even though it was a very cloudy week. Great selection for breakfast and the additional fika and dinner options were a nice choice as well. Heated floors in the bathroom were so nice on the cold days.

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.

Excellent location, walking distance to lots of sights as well as close to pick up points and local bus stops. Good sized room and good value for money being half board, and the afternoon cakes were nice! Decent enough for a few nights.

A comfortable hotel within walking distance of the city center. Complimentary breakfast and dinner. Limited choices but good. A nice view from the restaurant. Parking is limited and it requires a reservation. I wish I knew that. Maybe I was told but I don't remember receiving a message. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and quiet.
