Yggdrasil Farmhotel Retreat, Spa & Yoga

A hot tub with a view of mountains and a lake, surrounded by snow and trees.

Location: Tromsø
Review: This place is amazing, as long as you are not (like me) a creature that thrives on all the corporate trappings of large chain hotels. If you want to get away from it all and experience the real beauty and tranquillity of northern Norway, then this is where you come. The views are breathtaking, it’s peaceful and well off the beaten track. Your hosts will make you feel welcome and serve you with authentic Norwegian home cooked food. Alternatively there are some self catering lodges you can stay..., by Charlotte, 11 August 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Hotel was 5 minutes walking distance to all Tromso attractions. Staff very helpful and condition of hotel was excellent. Room was big enough for what we wanted and bathroom was great - shower always had very hot water which is what we needed after being out in the cold. The bathroom floor was heated so any water from flush floor shower dried quickly and heated floor was great for thawing out your toes after a day out in sub zero temperature. The room was always warm and the radiator could be..., by Anonymous traveller, 5 November 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

Location: Tromsø
Review: Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The place was very clean, quiet, and incredibly comfortable—definitely better than a hotel. It’s within easy walking distance of everything, and it made our holiday in Norway one of the best we've ever had. We highly recommend pre-booking your stay and asking for a sea view, as these options aren't available on some booking sites like Expedia, but can be arranged separately. We used the Get Your Guide app to book tours, and it made the trip even more amazing...., by Andrew, 23 November 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent
