Thon Hotel Polar

Great room, with lots of space and the BEST BEDDING I've ever had in a hotel!!! The duvet and the pillow were exquisite, just wonderful after a long night chasing norther lights. The hotel is nearby everything you have to visit in Tromso with an incredible buffet for breakfast.

A decent city hotel with perfectly adequate, if slightly small, rooms. No views to speak of, sadly. Breakfast was fabulous! The hotel doesn't have a bar per se, although one can order a limited range of drinks at Reception. It is attached to a separate restaurant (Egon, Tromsø) where you can have an evening meal if you don't want to leave the area. The staff were lovely and helped escalate this hotel to a little gem.

I must have been given the worst room in the hotel, with a window looking into an interior air shaft next to loud ventilation ducts. The room was comfortably furnished, but too warm; opening the window made it noisy from the ducts. The staff were professional, breakfast was full of choice and of very good quality. I did enjoy the young seagull who seems to live outside the window.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Thon Hotel Polar in Tromso. The room was really comfortable, with a beatiful view. Breakfast was excellent!! And the staff was friendly and helpful. I recommend it!

Decent hotel in the centre of Tromsø. Good rooms, great breakfast. Some of the rooms are a bit small. Rooms have all a small fridge.

Great room, with a lot of space!! The bedding allows a deep rest after chasing northern lights. The breakfast had a lot of options.

The overall hotel experience was great, great breakfast, awesome and helpful staff and a surprisingly quiet place considering is right at the city center. You won’t miss staying at this hotel.

Great central location. Quiet,|. Individual duvets. Fantastic breakfast. Staff very helpful. Very good shower. Kettle. Good lighting|Only drawback. Our room had 2 structural columns, a standard size double bed and window lacking any view

I had high hopes for my stay at Hotel Thon, but from the moment I stepped into the lobby, it became clear this was going to be a frustrating experience. My interaction with the front desk immediately set the tone for a less-than-welcoming stay. The woman at the front desk was shockingly snobby and dismissive when I requested a room on a higher floor. I understand that availability can sometimes be limited, but her attitude made it seem like I was asking for the moon. Instead of politely explaining the situation or offering alternatives, she brushed me off with a condescending smirk and curt responses. Her demeanor gave me the distinct impression that my presence was an inconvenience rather than a paying guest seeking reasonable accommodation. A little professionalism and hospitality would have gone a long way here, but apparently, that's too much to expect. Unfortunately, things did not improve once I entered my room. I've stayed in plenty of small hotel rooms before, but this was on a whole different level--claustrophobic and cramped to the point of absurdity. If I stood in the center and stretched out my arms, I could practically touch both walls. There was hardly any space to place my luggage without tripping over it every time I moved. To make matters worse, the room was far from clean. Dust clung to the corners of the room and the surfaces looked like they hadn't been wiped down in weeks. The bathroom was particularly unpleasant--grime around the sink, mold in the shower corners, and a lingering smell of mildew that no amount of ventilation could clear. It's astonishing that a hotel of this supposed caliber doesn't take the most basic steps to maintain cleanliness. The linens on the bed didn't inspire much confidence either. Though they looked somewhat clean at first glance, closer inspection revealed faint stains that left me questioning when they were last laundered. The mattress was thin and uncomfortable, and I woke up feeling like I'd slept on a wooden bench. This entire experience was disappointing and frustrating, especially considering the price point. The combination of rude staff, dirty rooms, and absurdly small accommodations makes Hotel Thon one of the worst hotel stays I've had in recent memory. It's clear that guest comfort and satisfaction are not priorities here. If you're looking for a pleasant and hassle-free experience, I would strongly advise you to look elsewhere. You can certainly find much better options at this price range where you'll be treated with respect and provided with clean, functional rooms. Avoid this place if you value your time, money, and peace of mind.

The hotel is centrally located near many restaurants and shopping. During my recent 10 night stay in Norway, these rooms are the largest by far. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. A grand breakfast buffet each morning and being attached to a great restaurant tops it all off. I recommend the Thon Polar.

Great location, on the main drag next to cool bars, food, shops, and harbor. Cozy and clean, looks like a little ikea dorm room. Free breakfast is a great value here I am discovering. If you have extravagant tastes and want the lap of luxury you might be a bit dissapointed, but more than okay for the budget traveler.update: just went to the breakfast buffet. That alone made my stay here worth it. It's awesome.
