Overall Ratings & Reviews Sommarøy Arctic Hotel Tromsø

One of the most beautiful and serene places I've been. Once you're there, there's not much around - and that's great. We did plenty of cycling, hiking and sauna/ plunge in the beautiful sea.

Brilliant place

Loved the heated bathroom floors! Quiet, clean, nice view from lounge area.

Such a lovely cool hotel with fabulous views. Large window in room which was great with the fantastic views. I only stopped one night but would definitely be worth stopping a bit longer to take advantage of what the hotel offers and some of the trips. Very spacious room. Complimentary coffee. Food served all day. Very easy to get to from Tromso, fab journey, great scenery. My trip was April, but would like to return during the winter. Great.

The location of our home was exceptional. Beautiful views. The hike itself was very spacious as well but did lacy a few amenities. Blow dryer, coffee, water, etc. would be nice to have that included. The front desk staff was for the most part unfriendly and honestly rude.

Food was very nice.

Beautiful property and nice place to see northern lights. The Town is quite and beautiful.

The area around the hotel is beautiful.

We staying in a self catering cabin. It was warm, clean, comfortable and looked out over the water. Perfect for exploring beautiful Sommarøy. This isn't luxury accommodation but it was great for what we wanted. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant for one meal. It's was OK but not brilliant.

Great place to stay and fantastic location.

What an amazing experience. Unfortunately the weather wasn't kind to us and didn't get to fully experience the island as we wished but prior to booking I was told the bath house was fully booked but when I enquired on arrival it was available! We really enjoyed this experience. Receptionist was lovely and very helpful! Would definitely visit again

Quite remote and very calm and serene. Excellent place to see the Northern Lights if the weather is clear. If Northern Lights is your goal then you probably should stay in Tromso City and book a van tour that drives you around to the best location for viewing depending on the conditions.

We had a great stay overall. The check-in was the easiest and quickest we have experienced in quite some time. There was free coffee / tea available by the reception all day, a very nice touch in the cold. The sauna in the central building is spacious and convenient. We also had a private sauna in the beach house we stayed in - this was an amazing surprise (should be called out in the room's details!). In terms of location, both Sommaroy island and the hotel are great - to enjoy the scenery and to hunt for the northern lights. The only suggestion we would have is to maybe install dimmer street / outside building lights if possible - I imagine a lot of people visit for the northern lights, which are more difficult to see due to light pollution (especially when external building lights are accidentally left turned on).

Wonderful hotel. Very clean and very nice staff.

I HAD THE MOST RESTFULL SLEEP WITH THE RAIN

Amazing, highly recommend. Beautiful setting, incredible food, really lovely staff. The room was warm and cosy. We particularly loved using the sauna and jumping in the sea. It was a picture perfect place to see the northern lights. We would highly recommend this stay!

We stayed at Sommaroy Arctic Hotel for 4 nights and really loved this place. Breakfast was the highlight of our stay here. Loooved all the food options. Views around the hotel were amazing. Drive to/from Tromso is just magical through the mountains. We saw wild reindeers! Would love to stay at this again :)

Nice Hotel and friendly staff. Experience is definitely weather dependant so check it out before leaving. Not much to do around in winter (3 hours of 'day' light). Recommended, but make sure you check availability of activities beforehand (reservations should be made well in advance). One (big) hour drive drive from Tromso, so make sure you hire a good car and are comfortable driving on icy roads in winter. If you do all the planning in advance and check weather reports, it should be a nice spot for Northern lights. Don't go there for delicate food but they make it up with good local beers (and again, friendly staff).

What a stunning place! Don’t miss the opportunity to stay somewhere so totally unique

Nice location for aurora, even with the poor weather condition, I was able catch a glimpse of it. Friendly staff happy to help at all times.
