Hotell Skansen

Hotell Skansen sits in Tromsø’s historic old town, a practical base with a bit of local character rather than a polished chain-hotel sheen. The property dates back to 1983 and offers more than 40 rooms, ranging from compact singles to doubles, triples, suites, and junior suites. Inside, the look is straightforward and modern, with free Wi‑Fi, breakfast included, a lobby lounge, and parking for guests arriving by car. The setting is one of its strongest assets: close to the city centre, the harbour, and the older parts of town, yet still calm enough to feel like a place to return to after a day in the Arctic air.
