Hotel Reviews
I would stay here again for sure - it is a beautiful hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The location is great and we were able to walk to the Winter Wonderland one afternoon and to a movie theater one evening. It is also convenient to picking up the tram. The afternoon tea is first rate and their breakfast buffet was the best one we experienced. The rooms were perfectly appointed and the beds were super comfortable.
Authenticity & Character
Beautiful old building and very warm and cozy
Radisson Blu Hotel Tromsø
Tromsø
Very nice location in Tromso - walking distance to shops and restaurants, and the airport express bus has a stop across the street. Many of the tour groups pick up there.
Authenticity & Character
It is not charming because it is a newer hotel but it was nice.
Location
close to airport and shops and restaurants
Staff
Friendly and helpful in both the restaurant and front desk.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The hotel was very clean but the rooms were hot and adjusting the thermostat did not help. We had to open a window to cool it down. Breakfast had many choices and was delicious.
Hotel Norge by Scandic
Bergen
Rooms and bathroom were large and comfortable. Breakfast buffet had many delicious options and the dinner we had in the hotel restaurant was very nice. The location near the harbor, shops, funicular train and restaurants was great - we were able to walk everywhere.
Activity Reviews
Northern Lights Chase
Tromsø
While our guide was tenacious in trying to find the lights, nature did not cooperate. Still, it was a nice experience and we did get a photo with a glimmer of the lights.

Reindeer Sledding & Sami Culture
Tromsø
We loved the reindeer sled ride in the beautiful snow but hearing our Sami guide talk about her life and her reindeer was the best. We learned much about the Samis and the reindeer stew and other snacks, along with hot coffee and tea, was much appreciated after being outside for a while.

Transport
Very nice bus transportation
Aurora Dinner Cruise
Tromsø
Even though we did not see the northern lights due to clouds, we really enjoyed the experience. The boat was very nice and comfortable. The guides were knowledgeable and the three-course meal with glass of champagne was delicious. They also offered a bar with drinks for purchase.

Alverstraumen winter cruise
Bergen
The cruise itself was nice but the weather was not pleasant. This would be a wonderful cruise in warmer months. We met some nice people from other places and enjoyed speaking with them.
