What guests think

At Clarion Hotel The Edge, travelers highlight the central waterfront setting and friendly, solution‑oriented staff, while room experiences vary by type, with some compact or oddly shaped layouts and occasional temperature or noise issues affecting comfort.

The rooftop bar offers great views but operates limited days and can cause noise for nearby rooms; there is no gym in the hotel (guests use a nearby facility), and parking is limited and often expensive. Rooms and public areas are generally clean, though several guests noted worn carpets, occasional dust, and inconsistent housekeeping. While breakfast earns frequent raves for range and quality, some reported crowded service or hot dishes served lukewarm, and the restaurant menu or hours can feel limited. Overall, expect a modern base with excellent breakfasts and helpful staff, but choose room type carefully.

The hotel is in an excellent location, however, staff was not too courteous and didn't seem to know the hours of the Skybar-- the front desk told us it opened that day, the restaurant staff told us it didn't. Also, not sure why the Skybar has such limited hours, open only 3 days a week. We were looking forward to going there to see the northern lights but our stay ended up not coinciding with the days the bar was open.

The hotel had great food for breakfast in variety and quality. Our stay was great and the city is wonderful with many shops and adventures. The hotel location was central and perfect for our walks. The ship tour we took was fun and 50 feet from the front door of the hotel. The hotel has a bar and patio on a top floor and the views of the city and mountains are amazing.

First the good. The hotel’s architecture is beautiful from the outside. It features beautiful views of the water and of Tromsø. The staff is excellent. Cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable about transportation options, tourist activities and restaurant recommendations. The breakfast buffet is outstanding. It features every breakfast option you could hope for and the food is kept very fresh. The sky bar is wonderful with breathtaking 360° views and a friendly bar staff. My complaint. My “superior room,” should have been described as, “inferior.” The hotel’s sharp angles leads to weirdly shaped rooms. Mine was wedge shaped. More than half the square footage was simply unusable. I had nowhere to put my suitcase. I left it on the floor by the door and slid it out of the way when I needed to leave. I told the front desk, and they seemed to acknowledge the problem but the hotel was sold out and there were no other rooms available. Had I known this would be my room, I’d of gone elsewhere. The only way I’d recommend this property is if they guarantee you a non-wedge room. Honestly, it’s claustrophobia inducing. The pic below is taken from the bed. The bathroom is behind the bed.

Flott, moderne rom med utsikt mot kaia, men dessverre altfor varmt, siden det ikke var AC på rommet. Med tre vinduer som stod i solsteiken hele dagen, ble det nesten umulig å få sove i varmen. En ansatt fikk etterhvert skaffet meg en vifte, så det hjalp noe. Nydelig frokost. Veldig sentral beliggenhet. Savnet flere norsktalende i resepsjonen.

Would return in a heartbeat next we are in Tromso.

I cannot give enough praise to the front desk staff at the Edge. One of our bags did not arrive from Oslo, and we made a claim at the airport, but were not satisfied with that service, being very understaffed, and having difficulties dealing with airport staff in Oslo. But we explained our situation to the Edge staff and they called and called and finally got through to someone, gave more info, followed up, and so on. And we got our luggage, which was crucial as we were leaving on an 11 day cruise, in high arctic Norway (Svalbard), with no ports that can be accessed by plane. The staff were so diligent and empathic. Gems. The room was lovely, but there is no place at all to put away any clothes, which is a bit of a drawback.

This is a hotel that offers services but then severely limits access. Examples? Laundry m-f but not weekend. Beautiful sky bar open Thursday thru Sunday 5-10. Great breakfast ….after 730 am. If you want the bag option make sure you bring your own yogurt spoons as none are offered. I could continue but it’s not cultural or even brand. I have stayed elsewhere is Oslo and tromso with much better hospitality Copenhagen airport clarion has similar breakfast starting at 530. In short the grade above combines staff and service but theirs is a on site senior management problem with training and understanding customer needs. I was not alone.

We stayed for 1 week 20th - 27th December 2024 and had a family room (2 adults & 2 kids - 11yrs and 14yrs). The room was fairly tight but we did all squeeze in. The kids shared a double sofa bed and the mattress was just about ok for them comfort wise. The shower was powerful and hot. The hotel location was perfect, quick walk into the centre and well positioned for all the tour pick up points. Breakfast provided a big range of options and whist it looked freshly prepared, all of the 'hot' food was cold, luke warn at best. We did opt to eat one evening meal in the restaurant but £196 for 4 of us and the 'hot' food was stone cold yet again. If they can improve the food, this would be a 5 star hotel for a trip to Tromso
