Wiki travel:
Tromsø's main bulk of hotel rooms are in the upper mid range, since they mainly cater for business people. There are no five-star luxury hotels, no old-world hotels, no spa hotels and no boutique hotels, and there is one whole swimming pool. Expect multi-lingual, friendly and professional, if overworked, staff, and breakfast is usually very good. Rooms and baths are often renovated.

Rock bottom
The ultra-tough back-packer has a hard time in Tromsø, since there are few of the really cheap dorm-style places, but the Right to access means you can camp mostly anywhere (outside the city centre) for free! (nearest spot 10min walk uphill from the centre), otherwise try these:
Tromsø Vandrerhjem (The Youth Hostel), Åsgårdveien 9, ☎ +47 77 65 76 28 (
tromso@hihostels.no), [83]. is only open from mid June to mid August. Since they are housed in a student's dorm, their standard is rather good. Slightly inconvenient location some 30 minutes from the city centre on foot, but rather frequent buses (bus 26 stops right out front). No internet. 225-700 Kr. edit
Fjellheim Sommerhotell, Mellomveien 96, ☎ +47 77 75 55 60 (
booking@fjellheimsommerhotell.no), [84]. is a bible school in winter, and a good alternative in summer, near the city centre. Good-size bedrooms, shared facilities. 200-1400 Kr. edit
Anemone Bed and Breakfast, Hochlinvegen 21, ☎ +47 77 68 65 15 (only between 15-16) (
anemone@skaland.com), [85]. is located near Prestvannet, half an hour away from downtown, with frequent buses. Simple standard, low fares. 250-540 Kr. edit
Tromsdalen Camping, 9020 Tromsdalen, ☎ +47 77 63 80 37 (
post@tromsocamping.no), [86]. has cabins from simple shacks to two-bedroom bungalows. Cabins:465-1025 Kr,Tents:125-220 Kr. edit

Budget
Make sure to contact some of these places as early as possible, since they fill up early. These places more or less have the same rates mid-week and week-end, and do not give particular summer discounts. Private accommodation can be a good alternative. Check out the home page of the tourist board. Most places, though, are rented to students in the school year, and only available in the summer months. [87]
AMI Hotel, Skolegata 24, ☎ +47 77 62 10 00 (
email@amihotel.no), [88]. a few minute's walk up the hill from the main street offers tidy, spotless rooms with private or shared facilities. The east-facing rooms have a fantastic view. 540-1090 Kr, discounts for students and longer stays. edit
ABC Hotel Nord, Parkgata 4, ☎ +47 77 66 83 00 (
nord@tromso.biz), [89]. is similar, and slightly closer. 550-1050 Kr. edit
Thon Polar Hotel, Grønnegata 45, ☎ +47 77 75 17 00 (
