- "One of a kind experience if you want to see the aurora lights" - "Amazing cozy spot to see the Northen lights. Everyone is friendly and they even give you a shout if they spotted NL and you didn’t 😉" - "We had an insane show of the northern lights right outside our window!! For the price of two people joining an aurora lights tour, you could be in the comfort of your own bed and watch them right outside! The staff was amazing, they went above and beyond throughout our stay. Super friendly and have great tips on things to do!"

- "Hotel was in a great location. The breakfast was fresh and plentiful. We are vegetarian and the staff were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Made to feel very welcome and the lounge area was a nice place to relax." - "The location was perfect! The hotel is right on the water with excellent views. It's central to all the shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore Tromso on foot. It's also a couple of blocks from the meeting points for several Northern Lights tours. We even saw some faint Northern lights from our room one night! The rooms weren't anything fancy, but they met all our needs and even had a tiny fridge. The staff was very friendly and even scheduled us a taxi for early in the morning to get to the airport. The breakfast ends kind of early after doing late night northern lights exploring, but it's a delicious and convenient buffet."

- "Location was great and the bed was very confortable." - "Great location right in the town center. Very nice hotel with lovely small rooms. Great bathroom." - "Excellent service, friendly staff, central location" - "Very helpful and friendly staff. The TV didn't work but we went to hell if we wanted another room.. Overall everything was fine... Good location..." - "I recently stayed at Comfort Hotel Xpress and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Given the affordable price, I expected a basic setup, but the accommodations exceeded my expectations. The room was spotlessly clean and provided a comfortable space to relax after a day of exploring. While it's not a luxurious hotel, it's perfect for travelers who need a convenient and cozy place to crash. Check-in was a breeze, and the hotel's location in the heart of the city made it easy to get around. I also appreciated the unique "barception" area, where you can grab breakfast before heading out on a hike or a day of city exploration. They offer a good selection of food options, catering to different dietary needs, which was a thoughtful touch."
