Cool: Moxy Tromsø, Marriott's Northernmost Hotel

The view will be very nice (looking straight over at my childhood home). The big issue is the location. Not that Tromsø is very big, but this hotel is in the middle of nowhere if you want to see some sights, you would be better of with a room in one of the many hotels in the city center.

Sounds like a great Northern Lights viewing area!

Really not trying to be a downer, but it looks like a major eyesore in an otherwise pristine landscape... It bums me out when local governments give approval for this uniquely tall (and ugly) projects. Reminds me of the Ritz Carlton in Turks & Caicos...
Very excited to visit Tromsø and Alta this coming winter, but staying at local lodges (of which there are no shortage of new, amazing options!).

Looks dull and out of place.

Flat earth people would not consider this as Northernmost Hotel but Centermost Hotel.

I’m supposed to do a large family (summer) trip to Bergen and was looking for a side trip or two while I’m over there for my wife and me. If anyone has any insights on Tromsø and what all there is to do there, let me know. My wife and I are pretty outdoorsy and enjoy hiking. I had never really heard of this spot though.

Have to agree -- most of the restaurants and activities are on the other side of the island, and this multi-story hotel stands out in a not good way. There are some great options in the city center. And Tromso is a fantastic destination for a few days, especially during their Polar Nights season.

Tromso is quite far from Bergen, i.e. you probably want to fly.
Things to do should be similar to Bergen outdoor wise.
Also consider Trondheim or Faroe Island.

TBH, in real it does not look that much out of place, because the immiate surrounds are nowhere near as pristine as the official pictures might suggest as the hotel is right next to the airport and the busiest commercial center of the city with asap isted traffic. AV geeks would love it though, being able to look straight at the runway.

As mentioned, this is not a city center hotel, but in the middle of nowhere but closer to the airport. Not unlike Moxy Oslo X, which is in a field between city and airport. I would rather stay at Clarion Edge in town if you are visiting the city.

Thanks! Yes I was assuming I’d fly up. That’s why I was wondering if it was worth it or not. Faroe is another good idea. Thanks.

Do visit Tromso, but stay on a waterfront in the city, with lovely views.
Moxy location is by the airport and near busy shopping area. Photos are misleading.

I stayed in Moxy Bergen, because I could use points, but I didn't like it. Lack of desk/table, chair and kettle was an issue for me. And working from bar was inconvenient. I had to ask staff to turn down the music. Can't imagine having conference call from there. I'm definitely not staying in another Moxy, unless it's one night only by the airport. Lack of kettle would still annoy me.

Eleven floors in Tromso? Argh Marriott should go to the international penal court...

I've been in Tromsø many times and I plan to come back. While I prefer chain hotels (and there aren't many in Tromsø), the location of Moxy is pretty bad so I will think twice about staying there. On the other hand, bus service in Tromsø is pretty good and buses from the terminal across the street I frequent. I might stay there in summer but definitely not in winter.

There are multiple Choice hotels in Tromso, a Radisson, and then Scandic and Thon, when it comes to chain hotels that I know there.

I go for the Choice/Strawberry properties.

I avoid Moxy hotels in Scandinavia, and dislike them as being equal to or worse than even the worst Comfort hotels in Scandinavia.

Tromso? Hard pass because there is no single Hilton property there where I could leverage my recently acquired LIFETIME DIAMOND status

ahh Moxy 🙁 ... my less favorite brand in Marriott Bonvoy.... I am so happy that there is a Marriott Bonvoy hotel in Tromso but and the same time so sad that it is Moxy 🙁

This is as bad as the Hilton in Faroe Islands.
Eyesore, inconvenient location, geared towards people in town for work, and unfortunate American tourists who dont know any better but to stay in a chain hotel.
And of course, bloggers and their followers

Uh, maybe if the hotel turns out literally all its lights at night.

Fake DCS is having a good run.

I loved the Hilton Garden Inn in the Faroe Islands. Beautiful property with beautiful views. Very close to both the city bus stop into town and the long distance bus stop to other areas in the Faroes. Do you work for some local hotel there, Ann, such that you have such sour grapes for the Hilton? I'm certain those hotels have been impacted by such superior competition.

I’m staying there in September! Looking forward to it

moxy Oslo X is also located in middle of nowhere, not sure what's going on.

I've been meaning to visit Tromso. I love the Arctic and now I have more of a reason to visitthe city. I stayed at the Moxy in Tokyo recently and loved the good vibes and the amenities. This place looks great!
