Sørlenangen Holidays from AU$788

Huge impressive villa with loads of space and a grand balcony perfect for viewing the Aurora (which we did nightly in early September). Nice short walk to the local Extra supermarket. Would have been 5* if the undertaking to meet and introduce us to the villa had been fulfilled. No one came and some aspects (eg the cooking facilities, the wonderful coffee maker; the microwave etc - all actually very impressive) took us a few days to understand and manage.

We absolutely loved this place, such a big apartment much bigger than we were expecting. Really conveniently located and so close to everything we needed. Staff were great helping us with our bags and taxis. Only thing I would feedback is given how much room we had the bathrooms were very small. The smallest double also could do with black put curtain rather than a blind as there was a street light outside. We loved Tromsø and would defo return here if we come back.

We stayed in the newly renovated area of the hotel, and it was very nice. We had a large suite with kitchenette and a nice view of the sea, and the mountains. The restaurant on the fifth floor is great and the staff was very helpful. The staff in the lobby main desk also great. Our first day in the spa was very busy with visitors from outside the hotel and the two staff members seemed overwhelmed however, the second day was very quiet and we had the spa to ourselves with one other couple. The steam room is amazing with stone sitting area as well as the stainless infinity hot tub, and the large infinity pool is slightly warmed, but more of a cool off pool, but long enough that you can swim. We saw the northern lights from the parking lot two nights in a row and it is a short walk to town and a very nice walk.
