Where can you find cheap accommodation in Tromsø?
Tent pitches, simple cabins, hostel beds and compact hotel rooms.
Short answer
Budget options in Tromsø include a tent pitch at Tromsø Lodge & Camping from NOK 200 per night, simple cabins there and dorm beds at The Tromsø Hostel. The tent area is open all year, and a pitch costs NOK 250 in high season. Cabin prices vary with season and demand, and the hostel shows prices once you choose dates.
Why
- Tromsø Lodge & Camping charges NOK 250 per night for a tent pitch from 15 May to 1 September and NOK 200 for the rest of the year, with showers and toilets included.
- Its economy cabins have a bunk bed for two and bed linen included, but no running water, and the nearest service building is about 150 metres away.
- Visit Tromsø lists Tromsø Activities Hostel with 30 beds, and its website, now The Tromsø Hostel, says bed linen is included and guests share three small kitchens.
Details
Guests in the economy cabins can also use a shared kitchen and sauna, while the tent area has no electrical hook-ups. Smarthotel Tromsø in Vestregata has compact rooms and includes its breakfast buffet when you book directly with the hotel. Check-in at the hostel starts at 4 pm every day.
Tip
Book the hostel and Smarthotel on their own websites: the hostel says booking directly should always be cheapest, and Smarthotel includes breakfast when you book directly.
