Clarion Hotel® The Edge

We arrived to a friendly welcome. The hotel is very modern and contemporary with beautiful works of art around the hotel. Our room was beautifully clean. The shower room fantastic and really nice shampoo, conditioner, hand cream etc. We had a harbour/fjord view and it was stunning. Breakfast to die for- never seen such a smorgensborg of delights before. It was outstanding. We also ate evening meal on 2 nights and the food really was top notch. Overall we could not pick one person who stood out as everyone from reception, domestic staff, waitresses and waiters were just so helpful, pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. We go home with wonderful memories of a fantastic stay. We couldn't recommend highly enough.

We travelled to Tromso to view the northern lights and experience a white Christmas. Our family of four stayed at the Edge for 4 nights during the Christmas period in a junior suite and twin room. We purposely booked the suite as it had a small sitting area for our family to hang out during our stay when the weather was poor and I am glad we did as the twin room was small and the hotel bar/living room area in the foyer gets quite busy at times. We had requested both rooms to be on the same floor but that didn’t happen although this was not a big issue for us as we were travelling with adult children. The rooms were tastefully decorated in Scandinavian style with very comfortable beds. The bathroom was modern with good showers and Rituals amenities. The breakfast buffet, included in the room rate, was extensive and offered a variety of cold and hot dishes including an omelette station. The breakfast staff were very attentive and always refilling the buffet trays with fresh food. We arrived at the hotel at 9 pm as our flight had been delayed and at check-in we asked reception where we could eat, we were informed that the restaurant and room service had finished for the night. The girl at reception could not offer any suggestions about where to get food outside the hotel. We walked about 6 blocks towards the main street before we managed to find a kebab shop that was still opened. However, the next day we found a 7-11 store behind the hotel which was well stocked of fast food items and also Yonas pizzeria about 3 blocks away near the Radisson. The hotel restaurant, bar and room service are not opened during the day so don’t expect to be able to get lunch or a drink at the hotel; you will need to go out even in bad weather as there is no food available before 5 pm. If you are looking for something to eat/drink head to the Art Cafe near the taxi stand - a great place. The Skybar was always closed during our stay so no access to the ‘spectacular’ views. We tried the in-house restaurant “Kitchen & Table” on our last night and the service staff were attentive and the food was good. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, as the hotel is modern and well maintained but food services were lacking which was disappointing.

We just stayed here for a week on our Northern Lights trip. Enjoyed the view from our room of the fjord in both directions. The beds and comforters are great and with the polar nights - hard to get our of. Everything about the hotel is modern and tidy - design is lovely, though art is a bit too industrial for my taste. But the best thing about the Edge is the breakfast. It's amazing - the largest and best quality I've ever experienced. With the prices as elevated as they are in Tromso, the Edge and their breakfast is a great deal -- you'd easily pay the equivalent of $30US for this meal anywhere else.

A comfortable stay. Booked a deluxe double room. Not deluxe-very small room and small bed. Poor view from room. Good breakfast and very attentive staff. Very expensive for a room that was standard at best. Have visited better in Tromsø.

Good central city location at Tromsø port, you can walk to attractions. Clean room with fridge and spacy bathroom (standard double). Big selection of everything at breakfast : bred variants, egg variations, salads, fruits, fish, cheese, sweets,... and as many coffee as you are able to drink ... grandious base for your day and northern light night. Well equipped hotel gym . Hotel is also a wellbooked business hotel, e.g. they have the special event „29. Tromsø Film Festival“ starting January 14 . But this is not bad for normal guests, it is more an advantage because hotel bar service does not close too early. And in the rooms it is absolutely quit, no noise from any event. Tromsø is a pricely destination, but check the good weekend deals directly on hotel page ( Friday-Monday ). Airport express bus stops near hotel, so easy to go from airport to hotel.
