Clarion Hotel The Edge

Fantastic hotel

Excellent breakfast and very clean up to date rooms with amazing views of the harbour

Getting it right

Excellent location for Tromso, right on the harbour. Good 4 star hotel. Free tea and coffee in lobby. Good breakfast. Staff excellent. Restaurant exceptional. Views stunning, rooms basic but fine, standard 4*. Rituals toiletries in the bathroom. Note the gym is not on site and is a 5 min walk away at a 24 hour, very well equipped local gym. The walk is extremely icy on unheated pavements just to beware. Easy to get round Tromso from here and is right by a shopping mall. If I stayed in Tromso again I would stay here.

The room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was amazing, the location is superb and the view from the room over to Tromsdalen and the Artic cathedral will stay with us forever.

Room was like a cupboard. Drafty windows with the bed positioned right by the window (tried 2 rooms- the same experience); room thermostat did not respond and kept the room at 18C. They did provide a heater at request. No food provided in the evening; Christmas buffet was booked up so tough, they said go out to find something. No compensation of any kind offered at checkout. Also incredibly expensive.

Great breakfast however there was no ventilation

Absolutely amazing stay here. The room was great, comfortable beds. Incredible breakfast choice, with fresh meats and fruit in plenty. Location was also spot on, super close to the ferry point and middle of town - actually couldn’t fault it!

Great options for breakfast. Omelette was very good

Great location & excellent breakfast.

Upgraded room for sea view which only cost £14. Staff were very friendly and the room was very clean. Comfy bed. Breakfast was the star of the show - with food being so expensive in Tromso it was great to have such a big breakfast buffet to fill up on in the morning. Great location too.

The room was clean but very small

The stay was good, the hotel seems more like 3 stars in the room. All clean but very basic small room for 3 people. (Family room) But the staff of the hotel are very nice and willing to help. The breakfast was great. Plenty of options to choose, omelet station, deli meats, cheese, pancakes etc.

Will go again, they had a strange smell in the first room we had and they switched us immediately without questions.. very great experience in spite of the crowds

convenient into town

Extremely Disappointed — Would Not Recommend We stayed at Clarion Hotel The Edge and were extremely disappointed. For the price charged — the same as the Radisson, where we stayed the previous week and which was exceptional — this hotel simply does not deliver. The beds were awful. So soft they felt like trampolines, offering no support at all. We’ve stayed in many Nordic hotels and the beds are usually fantastic — these were not. We asked if there were rooms with better beds and were shown another room with exactly the same problem. When we raised this and asked if we could cancel and rebook the Radisson, we were told nothing could be done until the manager returned in the morning. We had an early excursion, so that wasn’t possible. No apology, no solution, no follow-up. The interior of the hotel is tired and shabby, despite the marketing. Once you get past the lobby, it feels dated and worn — like the back of a theatre rather than a modern, premium hotel. To be fair, the breakfast was lovely, and the lobby looks good. But a decent breakfast does not make up for poor beds and indifferent service, especially at this price point. Being told “these are Norwegian beds” when they clearly aren’t up to standard was dismissive and frustrating. Overall, this hotel trades on location and branding, not quality. We would not stay here again and would not recommend it when far better options are available for the same money.

A very good place to stay and walkable to many places of interest eg Artic Cathedral ( across the bridge) and museums in Tromsø. Get a room with view of the sea .

Great location for tours and activities, everything is easy to walk to in town. Wonderful Breakfast.

Lovely stat, great location. Amazing breakfast

Excellent service. Friendly staff.
