Where to stay in Troms

Sleep in rooms that have been occupied by English lords at the historical Rundhaug Gjestegård, or stay in an exclusive log cabin at Lyngen Lodge.

Hotels in Troms come in all shapes, sizes and personalities. You can expect to find top international hotels, such as Radisson SAS, Choice and Scandic, Thon and Rica Hotels in the larger cities – Tromsø and Harstad. But you'll also discover smaller hotels that memorable for their individuality and in convenient locations on the main travelling routes.

Backpackers’ lodges and youth hostels add character and flavour to Troms travelling experience. A comfortable bed is just the beginning. Youth hostels can be found in cities of  Tromsø, Harstad, Finnsnes (Senja) and in the valley of Skibotn.

Bed & Breakfast accommodation is a wonderfully eclectic mix of all types of hosts and houses, and this is part of its attraction. By opening their homes and their hearts to travellers who need a comfortable bed a night or two, B&B hosts are like instant friends you meet along the way. You have your own room in the host's house and you're served breakfast in the morning.

Homestays. Become one of the family in a Troms home. You normally share all domestic facilities with the family. Look out for “rom ledig”.

Holiday homes and apartments. The tradition of a second home in the mountains, by the sea, river, forest or lake is strong Troms. The local word for holiday home is "feriehus” or “hytte". 

Renting a privately-owned holiday home is a great way to be self-sufficient. No two homes are the same, so you’re getting accommodation with character as well as comfort. Holiday homes range from simple cottages by the sea to luxurious lodges in the mountains. Some were probably built by their owners; others are architect-designed palaces or simply passed on by the family.

Fishermen’s cabins Or "Rorbu" in the local language are cabins originally built as accommodation for visiting fishermen in Lofoten, but have become popular throughout the whole northern Norway. They served as a second home for the fishermen where sleeping, cooking and stowing of equipment was part of everyday life. They are of different standard and sizes.

Camping sites Troms has a well developed network of camping sites. They come in all shapes, sizes and standards. They offer a variety of activities and relax possibilities. Most of them have service and facilities for caravans and motorhomes.

Inns/Motels/Cottages offer clean and cosy accommodation with good comforts. Inns/Motels/Cottages usually have one or two bedrooms, lounge, bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. They are ideal if you prefer to cook your own meals. Larger motels often have facilities similar to hotels, in-house video, laundry facilities, room service, breakfast, restaurant and so on.

Lodge. Always set in beautiful surroundings, lodges are small, intimate, welcoming establishments with between 4 and 20 rooms offering bed, breakfast and dinner. The one in Djupvik in Kåfjord has a very good standard overlooking the Lyngen Alps.

Farm stays is a great way of getting to know real Troms peolpe and to learn more about the farming lifestyles. Some farmstays offer you the chance to stay in the comfort of a typical Troms rural family home, while others offer self-contained accommodation.You may get to enjoy home-cooked meals, and you will have the chance to join in with whatever is happening on the farm. Depending on the type of farm and the season, you could experience milking, shearing, lambing or harvesting crops and vegetables.
