Nice hotel on a beautiful location. Great service (except for that one night, when we came for dinner at 19:10 and we heard that the chef had decided to close the kitchen at 19:00, while it was supposed to be open until 20:30, and no one had cared to inform the guests about this), friendly staff and history and culture...

Exceptionally generous spirited staff,delicious food with great breakfasts.A very caring manager too and stunning locations oh and very powerful wifi (free of course) that puts UK wifi to shame. I urge you to choose this hotel; you will not regret it.

On 12-Nov-12, we had planned to go to Ersfjorden from downtown Tromso before finding our way to Sommaroy Hotel. But, we did not make it there. We hopped onto bus 420 hoping to catch a connecting bus to Sommaroy hotel from Sandvik. We informed the driver of our final destination and were told that there are no buses to the... More

Sommaroy Artice now run by Rica Hotels is a nice place to hold conferences just one hour away from Tromsø. Out door bathtub and sea dipping for the though one. Nice bar and a lovely scenery. Recommended

Part of the Rica hotel group this place accomodated what we were looking for on our epic scandic adventure. I had research this location was a hot spot for the spectacular Northern Lights and that is mind blowing itself but to be in luxury while waiting between snow storms was pretty good. When we arrived the place looked shut and... More

We normally visit Sommaroy in the winter to see the northern lights but this year we finally got around to coming up in the summer as it was a good spot to see the Transit of Venus. The surroundings are very different without their blanket of snow and ice and the 24 hour daylight means that you get twice the... More

Spent one wonderful evening at this property. It was spectacular. The beach is coral (no really crushed coral). The islands and view are stunning, the local fishing village picturesque, no wonder the Queen loves the spot (Norway's Queen, not England's). The absolute standout of our visit was the meal. We were with a business group so there was a smog... More

This was our second stay at the Arctic Hotel in Sommaroy, our first was last year at the same time and for the same reason. We were travelling as a couple with friends to see the Northern Lights over a long weekend so booked one of the three bedroom houses. The house consisted of a large combined kitchen/dinner/living room with... More
