Enter Viking Hotel

Love 24/7 coffee/tea and hot water at the lobby.

Good area to visit tromso inner city for overnight stay.

Wonderful staff, wonderful room

Walking distance to dining and shopping. Very nice staff. Building and rooms are old but clean.

If staying here you would be advised to only use it as a place to sleep and not much else. Walkable down to the main areas of Tromso in 5/10 mins maximum. Having a fridge in the room was handy however, as we were staying for 3 days

Nice hosts!

Clean, friendly, convenient to town and attractions.

Helpfull staff in a good location

Good location, helpful staff, poor electrics in building. No breakfast facilities and no kettle in room.

The only think that was nice is Zoe at the reception Excellent and helping host

I'll be honest about the good and the bad. The good: nice staff, location, comfortable bed, netflix. The bad: this hotel was cheaper in comparison to other hotels in Tromso, but by no means inexpensive. We still paid alot of money and the room we got was tiny, stuffy and claustrophobic, when I say tiny, I mean tiny, felt like we were in a closet. The bathroom was smaller than anything I've ever experienced, no counterspace and the tiny bowl sink was hard to use, water got everywhere when trying to wash my face. The shower consisted of two fold out doors in the corner of the tiny bathroom, there was barely space to move and take a normal shower, and water got all over the rest of the floor. You get what you pay for and in this case we realize we should have just paid a little bit more and stayed in a different property.

The stay was good for a quick weekend trip. The staff was nice. There are Norwegian waffles available sailing at 5pm. The rooms and beds are a bit small but it was good as we did not plan to stay in.

Staff was great. Hotel is on a noisy street so bring ear plugs. Room was tiny but clean and comfortable. Good walkable area.

The room was basic, a tiny bit small for two people with two suitcases, but the beds were really comfortable, and we found the people who worked at the Viking very nice and helpful which made our stay a really pleasant one. Good value for money, and we would stay there again.

My daughter and I loved the charm and character of our room in the top floor under the eaves. The shower room was perfect and it was lovely to look out on the traditional property opposite as well as to glimpse the hills around us. The staff were amazing - friendly, cheerful, helpful at all times. I really appreciated being able to have the free coffee/cookies in the reception area at any time with the opportunity to chat to other guests there, hearing about their experiences/plans and also the brown cheese/waffles in the afternoon. This hotel was ideal for us and I would certainly return.

We had a great time. Very comfortable and great value.

The staff is super helpful the coffee is great the rooms are cozy

As a solo traveler I found the hotel was in an excellent location. The main town was a 10 minute walk away, also the meeting place for most tours was again only a 10 minute walk. The room was spacious although there is limited space to put your belongings. The bathroom was plenty big enough with a walk in shower. The hotel offered unlimited tea and coffee although the water in the flasks was not always the hottest. Between 5 and 7 there was free waffles available which were made fresh with a waffle machine. I would recommend this hotel and if I returned to Tromso I would use this hotel again.

The location is great. However the WiFi does not work in the room. The sound proofing is not good. You can hear sound from the street. Difficult to sleep.

Comfortable bed and a small room with the necessities. Sadly, my room smelled of cigarette smoke, not from the room itself, but from the corridor. It was also very noisy from the corridor.

We had a 3 days stay and never received service from housekeeping.

Good value for money, the rooms are nice enough but lack basic amenities such as kettle, coffee, tea, bar area, bathroom shaving plug. The fridge in the room is available to use but doesn't actually cool things down. Wi-Fi is free but really bad, barely usable. There is coffee and tea available in the reception, and breakfast only available if you request it. Staff doesn't inform you about any of this. The rooms are in general badly soundproof, with a lot of noise from the street and neighbouring rooms coming through

A terrific bargain given the prices for hotels in Tromso. The rooms were small, clean and well organized for the size but had everything one could need. Front desk staff, especially Andres, was truly terrific!! A total asset to the property with many recommendations for you!

Great for sleep, but low quality bathroom and desk. Service was ok, however no breakfat in the hotel. I got two 15% tickets for a resturant.

The room seemed clean but the pillows had makeup stains on them so I don’t think they were changed from previous person staying in the room.

Staff was very helpful and always ready to advice when needed. Dislike the elevator was broken and it doesn’t seem it’s going to get fixed any time soon.

Great hotel the staff is wonderful this was my third time visiting them

Nice hotel

the staff were very friendly and dealt with assistance really well

Badly

The bed was comfortable and the service at reception was great, but the air vents are all linked and cigarette smoke filled my room every morning at 7 am. As the smell of cigarette smoke actually makes me Want to throw up, it wasn’t the best start to each day.

Excellent location. Very friendly helpful staff. Very clean and hot drinks available anytime.

Bit of a hike to town

The people are very helpfull and friendly. Also a great location

I loved the property, small and cute. Staff were lovely, chatty and helpful even at 2am. The only thing which would of been easier is having a kettle in the room but i think thats just me. Would go back if in Tromso.

Comfortable but small rooms. We were given an upgrade to a different hotel, without checking with us first, which sounds like a bonus but was further away from where we wanted to stay.

This hotel is close to the centre of town. The bathroom was very small with no where to put anything. The shower folded in and out over the bathroom floor. The bathroom was in poor condition- towel rail broken, glass shelf was no longer there. No where to plug the hair dryer in front of a mirror.

Overall stay is fine The customer service is helpful Vacuum the floor more often, dusty

It was a clean room with good service at the desk. There were no frills to the hotel, but if you want a place to sleep and adventure during the day this was great.

Location and the service from the staff are good. Washroom is small and old especially the washbasin. No slipper and electric kettle were provided.

Staff were welcoming and helpful. Waffles in the evening were great. It was within walking distance to the bus stop for the airport and everything else we needed.

Room is nice

It was really an amazing trip and stay in Enter Viking Hotel.

This is a reasonably priced hotel which is well presented and clean, it also provides free tea/coffee and waffles for you to make after 6pm. Its in the centre of the city, in a quiet location. Reception staff are helpful and my family had a pleasant stay.

Comfortable Stay. Very close to the harbour. Lot’s of cafes, restaurants & supermarkets near by. Polite and helpful staff. Room was comparatively small but very clean and hygienic.

We were moved to another hotel within the same family. Instead of staying at the Viking Hotel which we booked, we were required to stay at the City Hotel, which is not as updated and clean. We paid for a family room of four twins but received a room with two doubles, leaving one of our teenage sons to sleep on the floor. Absolutely wouldn't book with this family of hotels again for fear of an unrequested move.

Good location, two blocks from the Mack brewery, and walking distance to the downtown area. Good coffee in the lobby 24 hours a day.

Hotel very noisy, sounds of footsteps above us most of the night, but the staff did take time to ease the problem

Great location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again when I’m in Tromsø.

The location was good, the stuff was freindly an helpful, the room was a bit small We got our money worth

Comfortable stay. Helpful staff

Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Check in was efficient. The included Norwegian waffles were delicious. The rooms were attractive and the bed was comfortable.

Great location to city centre, friendly, helpful staff, rooms were tiny, difficult to get around the room with 2 suitcases open on the floor

free coffee, tea, wafles staff very nice and near everything

Very friendly staff. Xlean and quiet room. Good locarion. Although they did not change one of the lghtbulb in the bathroom that I told them about, I would go back.

Minutes walk to the city centre, coffee in the lobby, spacious room; great value.

Nice hotel close to the shopping area.

Property was basic but solid. Room service was unfortunately lacking. Waffles in the evening were a treat, and provision of plates and silverware for in-room breakfast (self-bought breakfast items) was convenient.

Friendly workers, great prices, close to restaurants, pubs, city center.

Basic hotel. Car parking is on a treacherous slope which should be salted. I slipped over twice and hurt myself there. I informed reception after the first time, but the slope remained unsalted and dangerous

Really nice hotel..staff really helpful poilte and informative amd great with free waffle from 6pm to 8pm..and endless tea.. Good location to minutes from town Excellent

Nice hotel. Great staff. But noise from room above made a good nights sleep impossible.

Close to city centre. Friendly and helpful staff. Remembering this is a budget hotel but the hotel could do with being updated. The corridors are looking tired and a bit dated, whereas the photos on the site don’t suggest this. Sadly when we arrived in our room there were used tissues left on the widow ledge. That said, the room appeared to be suitably cleaned throughout our 3 night stay.

Whatever the purpose with the trip is, this hotel is a great pick. The location is central with walking distance to most venues of interest. The rooms have the right size unless you are going to host a group for a meeting. The staff is friendly and helpful. And as a waffle and coffee addict, my needs are taken care of in the reception area. The only disadvantage is that they don't serve breakfast, but that is not a problem when a solution is around the corner.

I appreciate the good service! The hotel staff was friendly, always trying to help you (mostly successful), but without disturbing you in any way.

Convenient, short walking distance to shopping

We ended up coming back for a second visit as was good value and knew the room would be fine. Staff very helpful and friendly. Easy walk to sights and shops. Parking may not be close to your room.

Check-in was fast, Waffles was great, Luggage storage provided. Walking 5 minutes to the bus-stop to airport.

Nice comfortable and very clean modern hotel, will definitely stay here again.

Real fast is mot available but there are several supermarket/convenience stores close by. Tea dna coffee freely available 24/7 and waffles between 6 and 8 pm. Close to centre, harbour and churches. Easy to get to and from. Taxi from airport ranges. Between 170 and 250kr for some reason. (Not heavy traffic in either direction, same route..)

The location was fine but the room was tiny and the single bed was too small for me as I'm quite a big person and kept worrying I'd fall off. The clothing hangers were too small and could only fit 2 items of clothing.

There was a major problem with the room, which meant I didn't get any sleep and ultimately had to move to another room. The hotel staff were very helpful and the hotel refunded the night in full.

The Viking Hotell is a very good budget-priced (for Tromso) hotel. Everyone is very friendly and the hotel is well placed for access to the town and activities. Free waffles if you're there at the right time!

Great landing place for coming into Oslo - right outside the central station on the main shopping avenue, with many restaurants and sights within easy walking distance. For anything further out, the train, bus, and light rail are all right there. Easy walking distance to Akerhus and the harbor, where the ferries are.

Daytime staff need to be welcoming more.Evening and night staff pleasant. overall is ok

There was no hot water in the morning. The sink was blocked in the evening; the young guy at the front desk had no clue; my husband had to fix it to allow the family to brush the teeth. I do not recommend this hotel which is, by the way, very expensive, even for Norway.

Came here mainly for northern lights. Actually saw best one on walk up to lake from hotel. Partially cloudy. Klaus on night shift was very friendly and helpful in trying to get us to find the lights (with rental car). We came back at 2 or 3 in morning our last night & he had waffles out for us! He's so cool. They have nice breakfast buffet.

Everything that we needed. Close to center of town. Very easy to walk almost everywhere. Breakfast for a decent price as well. Plan on returning some day!!!

Friendly staff, comfortable, clean room and anot easy walk to cafes, restaurants and attractions. Free tea & coffee making facilities available all day & night in reception, and waffle making between 6-8pm.

The staff was excellent and and did all to accommodate with all they could. There were a couple of things that didn't go well but that is up to the owners to address these. Well done to the staff.

Good location, very friendly and helpful staff, free tea and coffee 24hours in the lounge area. Free waffles 5-9 in the evening. Taxi was reasonable about 200 for 4 of us with big liggages., better than the bus.

Great upgrade to street-level apartment for no extra cost.

Just back from 4 days in Tromso, we stayed at the Viking hotel which is a nice clean & simple hotel. The staff were all great, helping us with any inquiry and offering good advice. The hotel serves tea & coffee all day and night, we got in from our aura hunt at 1am and hot drinks were offered. Do make time for the waffles, served each day from 5pm. The hotel is well placed near the Mack brewery & Polaria and is only 10 to 15 minute walk to the other end of town.

room was very small with not much hanging space, only a couple of shelves and no draws tv had very few channels and there were no hair washing products and no hair dryer

Good location in city center with easy access to food, shopping and sightseeing

We stayed at this hotel mid December,very friendly helpful staff,who made our stay very enjoyable advising us on, and recommending trips to go on .The room was comfortable and cosy and the hot drinks in the reception area were great after a day out in the snow. If we go back we will certainly use The Viking Hotel again

Excellent stay, close to everything, good breakfast, coffee and tea all day included is great. Waffle at 5pm was also great. Excellent place to stay as staff is friendly and helpful!

We had a very nice stay at this hotel. Rooms were clean albeit small and cozy. Hotel staff was very helpful and their evening waffles were delicious. Great choice.

Small rooms efficiently designed. Staff was helpful and warm. You can use the washer/ dryer most evenings

Hotel is very close to shopping centre, restaurants and attractions! Room is small but enough for one person! Breakfast is good with salmon, different spreads, and fresh peppers. I like the unlimited coffee tea at reception, that saves a lot of money, some evenings they have self made waffles but one night didnt have, with their homemade berries jam. Reception aside from one guy, the morning shift ones are quite cold. Checked out didnt even say a word and at breakfast no interaction, probably they got too much work they do almost everything on their own.

Basic hotel, lovely staff, excellent breakfast Very well appointed apartment rooms meant home cooking saved very high Norwegian restaurant prices. Lack of blackout curtains in midnight sun made sleeping tough Lovely place but expensive

Friendly and informative staff. After 4PM they offer free waffles (you have to cook your own) plus jam and sour cream. Free coffee and tea are available all the time.

The hotel is convenient for the City Centre, the airport bus stops nearby and the Hurtigruten Ferry terminal is a short walk away,the hotel staff are welcoming, fresh coffee available in the foyer 24hrs a day, the room was comfortable and well equipped the included breakfast was the usual nordic meal with Salmon Meats cheese and fruit, the Hotel receptionist helped with online flight check in and boarding pass print out, would recommend this Friendly hotel when visiting Tromso

A good clean hotel. Room was a little small but clean and comfortable. Staff helpful and friendly and location around 5 mins from centre - preferred to larger more impersonal hotels in centre. Liked the free tea and coffee and waffles in lobby.

The room was clean, the staff nice. My only complaint is that the maid service doesn't tidy up, only changed out the towels. I stayed 5 nights and could have used a little tidying up, like in most North American hotels. I don't know what the Norwegian standard is. Otherwise, perfectly suitable.

I often visit Tromsø, but this is the first time I stayed at this hotel. It was a real pleasure. Everything was tidy, the staff was great, and the waffles and coffee in the reception area was a great bonus. The location is perfect and the nights I spent there the neighbourhood appeared to be absolutely quiet, which is not the case everywhere in Tromsø. The only somewhat critical remark is the breakfast room; I felt it a bit crowded at times, but considering the size of the room it is difficult to see how it can be improved.

The Viking Hotel was a great base for our trip to see the Northern Lights. They were an unforgettable experience, but Tromso has much to enjoy besides, including a cable car ride to a fabulous viewpoint 402metres above the town. The Tromso museum was worth going to, but closes at 3pm. The arctic cathedral is best seen after dark from the outside, when the colours of the stained glass glow brilliantly. Beware it is very expensive to eat out, but we enjoyed everywhere we tried. Best value was the cafe of the 4 Roses (downstairs rather than the restaurant upstairs)

Hotel is situated centrally in the centre and is within walking distance from everything. Staff were friendly and helpful!

The staff at the Viking Hotel, and ABC- their cheaper no-frills sister hotel- are excellent. They are friendly and efficient, and are always available to help, give information, &/or resolve any issue. The idea of free evening waffles might sound a little strange, but it is a lovely touch, and it; a great way to meet staff and other guests if you are new. breakfast was varied and good. Rooms are comfortable and well maintained.

Although this hotel has a rather poor rating (as of our stay) we booked here as it was the cheapest hotel in Tromso and we were only staying one night. We were, however, very pleasantly surprised. The rooms were modern and very comfortable, the hotel staff were friendly and extremely helpful, and the buffet breakfast was nice and varied. The rooms may have been recently refurbished. The hotel is in the centre of the town not far from the docks, and a shortish taxi journey from the airport. All in all, it was an excellent stay at the end of our holiday and we would happily stay there again.
