Great location. Easy to get to. The room was comfortable, spotlessly clean and has everything that you need. We took our own kettle as we like coffee when we wake up.
The staff are all very helpful and the trsndport links are very good. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of choices. Can't see why our own hospitals do not have this same facility to support patients and their families.

Great value hotel with an amazing breakfast.
The breakfast spread is excellent, with a huge choice of both hot and cold options ,fruit, yoghurt, and plenty more.
The rooms are perfectly adequate, and the heated bathroom floor is a brilliant touch, especially for drying clothes. Beds and pillows are very comfortable.
The location works well: it’s about 10 minutes from town by bus, and the Svipper app makes getting around easy. There’s also a handy 7-Eleven on site.
Don’t let the fact that it’s located at the hospital put you off ,if you go in with modest expectations, you’ll get more than you expect. Can’t fault it for the price.

The room was ok and clean with a nice view. Was quite the experience though, we were a bit alarmed when we arrived and the first thing we saw was a person being wheeled into a van in a coffin. Probably the best shuttle bus service I have ever seen. If you call a certain number one comes right to where you are lights flashing and then speedily takes you back to the hotel.
After we realised this hotel is literally inside a hospital it was quite funny watching other people walk in with suitcases with bewildered looks wondering why on earth they had just walked into a hospital.
Very very misleading on the add, not one mention of it being in the hospital.

Great hotel and the breakfast had a lot of variety including eggs and different types of meats. the only complaint is the single beds are very very small they're more for a child. I have a small camping cot and it's about the same size. It is not close to town so you need to take about a 10 minute taxi ride

Room with a view!

Hotel was comfortable and staff were very helpful and friendly. Good connections to everything on Tromso via the bus stop immediately outside, and having the Narvessen in the foyer was useful too!
We were on the 12th floor in one of the corner rooms which meant we had two fantastic window views looking south/east over Tromso and to the mountains beyond. Quite a view to wake up to on our first morning!

I was very surprised to see that this hotel actually shares a building and main entrance with a general HOSPITAL. You walk in through the front threshold and there are plenty of sick people coughing and waiting for treatment. It’s a heavy sight to see and then to know that you’re exposed all these sick people as you walk further in to navigate to the hotel desk is an experience. I would not have booked it if I knew that the Hotel is really an annex of the hospital. It’s very creative and I’m sure a great way to generate additional revenue for the hospital, but it was a little deceptive for unsuspecting customers. I would not have booked it had I known this. I also found the food to be very expensive and not very tasty.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NOT suitable for Tourist!!

Not suited to travellers or anyone on holidays! Feels very much like a hospital... derr...it is in a hospital and the room felt clinical and very much like a hospital room. Entrance is through the hospital which is unacceptable, uncomfortable and confronting. There is no seperate hotel entrance. The beds in the room were the narrowest single beds ever and have medical alarm buttons beside them . Very distressing place. We left early forgoing a nights accommodation just to get out of the place. We left via the disabled entrance and witnessed 2 coffins being loaded into hurses!!! This place is not suited to tourists on vacation as it is not a place of leisure. They should not be allowed to sell these rooms to tourists. They are really only suited for hospital patients and families. Completely dissatisfied and unable to get a refund for the night when we didn’t stay. Beware....If you are on holidays don’t stay here. If on the other hand you are ill or a loved is, then this will be a very convenient place to stay.

Good hospital visit hotel with tourism aspirations

The hotel
oom was clean and very good value for money in the somewhat expensive town of Tromso, but it was not clear in any of the promotional material that this was actually a hospital hotel and that you in fact walked through half the hospital to check in or get to your room. The door was also locked after 22:00 and needed to buzz reception to get in, which was not always convenient\fast. Included breakfast was very good and added to the value, but advertised parking was more limited than expected as it was shared with hotel visitors and cost about 20 Euro per day. Town was beyond walking distance, so either a bus (slow), taxi or drive (paid parking) away. Would be very good for people visiting family\friends in hospital, but not so good for tourists.

Probably the best place to stay in Tromso!

Tromso is a small place, and this hotel/hospital is visible from virtually everywhere - a white rectangular building that has hidden comforts and is a total bargain! The building has 20 floors and there is a small kitchen on the top floor. Each floor has glass encasing at both ends of the corridor, which offers breathtaking views of this town and the surrounding snow-capped mountains. The breakfast was excellent, the staff a bit confused but generally helpful. There is also a small Narvesen within the facility for a quick snack in the evenings. The room itself was very comfortable, with a large screen TV and a five-star shower. As we saw everywhere else in Norway, everything was extremely clean and smelled pleasant. Will definitely live here again when I go back!

Trotz der Lage außerhalb des Zentrums war das für mich kein Nachteil, da es eine sehr gute Anbindung an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel gibt. Man kommt schnell und unkompliziert in das Zentrum von Tromsø.
