For almost $300 per night you don’t even get a shampoo in the shower, no tea kettle or coffee in the room. Simply scandalous

Very clean and comfortable property. Location is a little out of the city centre however excellent bus connection to central Tromsø every 10 minutes. Access to hotel is through the University of Northern Norway Hospital. Overall enjoyed the 3 night stay.

Nice room, but misleading description of hotel
The room was a very nice single and the desk clerk was super-helpful. However, I think the description of the hotel needs to be expanded—it’s almost misleading by the omissions. The hotel is attached to a hospital—you literally have to enter the hospital doors to get to the hotel. The paid parking is outside, a block away from the hotel. There are no luggage carts, etc. I parked in a taxi zone to unload my luggage and haul it to my room before parking. However, the room was nice and had a good view, though the window was quite small. The included breakfast was very good.

6/10 Good

The property was clean and everyone was helpful and courteous. The rooms were sparse when it came to amenities and the room was just given fresh towels during the week (no cleaning service) and there was no room servicing on Sunday. We wish it was clearer that the hotel was part of the university hospital and on the outskirts of town - not in town. While close on a map to downtown Tromsø, taxi fares were quite high and buses were inconvenient to go into town, for activities, or to the airport.

I had no idea this hotel was in a hospital, we had to park a bit away and it was extremely hard to find the main entrance because we didn’t know the hotel was in the hospital. Beds extremely narrow but the room was very clean.

Pingvinhotellet UNN Tromsø (Attached Uni Hospital)
Hotel is very clean and tidy, but it must be clear that it is attached to the university hospital. This is a little strange as you walk through the hospital entrance to get to the reception, and the canteen is shared. As long as this is not an issue the hotel is more than acceptable, with a very clean room and nice bathroom.

Great value for money.
The hotel is really good value for money compared to what you will pay if you stay at a hotel in town. The bus stop is right outside the hotel and buses run frequently and it was never a problem for us to get to town even with heavy snow. It is kind of strange staying at a hotel in a hospital but the rooms are great and the breakfast selection is really good.

Good hotel. Great service. The hotel is adjacent to a major hospital but it’s not loud at all. It’s also a bus/taxi/car ride away from the center of town but this wasn’t a huge inconvenience.

Great Trip in Wintertime Tromsø
The bus stop is very close and an affordable option rather than taxis. I recommend getting the 7 day pass for 240 NOK. The hotel has a great breakfast, honestly one of the best I have had. The service is very friendly and overall a great stay.

A pleasant stay
The hotel room is nice and spacious and the breakfast buffet is very good. The hotel shares the same entrance as the hospital, but one you know it doesn’t bother too much. It located a few km from city but has a good bus connection. We caught a taxi back to hotel after the chasing lights tour, cost around 220 NOK.

Excellent hotel and facilities for the price. Although the hotel is away from the city centre. Bus No 20 will take you to the city centre in 10 minutes. The bus stop is just below the hotel.

On the first day I had business at the campus, it was great that I was staying on site. The next day an hour's walk took me to town. You can also walk to the airport. Some bike rental facility would be great (actually maybe there was one, but it wasn't advertised).

Overnighter in Tromso
Stayed at Pingvinhotellet 1 night only having arrived at Tromso airport at 19:30. No airport bus on a Saturday or Sunday to the location/area of hotel. Caught taxi 210NOK, bus fare is 100NOK each so the taxi was a good. Taxi dropped us in basement service area. Pressed a buzzer & someone from reception let us into the hotel. Check in was easy, small shop next to reception, & an island where we purchased baguettes. Room smallish and basic, spotlessly clean, no tea/coffee making. Two comfortable single beds. Breakfast on the floor below reception & was excellent I left to collect rental car from airport. returned to the hotel, eventually. No clear pick up/drop off area & exit from reception is long walk to a road with no clear parking. If there is a sign indicating that it was Pingvinhotellet then I couldn't see it. Check Google Maps before you go so that you know what the hotel looks like. I parked in a service yard having driven past signs that (I think) said taxi and buses only. I assume this is why the taxi dropped us in the basement area. The hotel not close to the City Centre we've been to Tromso before & used the hotel as an overnighter. If you wanted to sightsee in Tromso I don't think I would recommend it. You are 4 or 5 Km travel from centre area. No problem with hotel but some signs would be nice, seems to built into the same area as a hospital & I felt I was driving around a hospital looking for an entrance to a building I could see but couldn't find.
