We stayed a night here on a tour of the Lofoten Islands. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was very good. The reception staff were friendly enough. The booking included breakfast which was adequate, but nothing amazing. The hotel is centrally located and has a car park opposite, which is convenient.

OK hotel centrally located in Harstad, near Hurtigruten, buses and the boats to Tromsø, Finnsnes etc. Bars, shopping and restaurants just around the corner. The reception was OK, but the reception desk was often unattended - had to look around a bit to find someone, as there was no bell. The room was OK, comfortable beds and an OK TV.

This was a while back but hopefully will still be accepted onto Tripadvisor as it may help others choosing a hotel. I stayed in the Thon hotel for a couple of nights and then again another night a week later. The hotel was probably one of the best I've ever stayed in for several reasons. 1. I'd been lazy concetrating... More

This was a good hotel, nice staff and it was clean. The room was more than okay and the pluss was a big flat screen tv. Superb internet on the room. Maybe in the future the hotel will get a deal with the Egon restaurant so the hotel guests could get a discount on food and drinks. If you stay... More

This is a good place to stay - we stopped our last night here as it is quite close to Evenes Airport. The room was great and we had a superb view across the fjord. The choice at breakfast is amazing! There was a bit of competition for parking spaces but we always managed to strike lucky. The in house... More

Good hotel close to the harbour where we took the Hurtigruten cruise. Hotelrooms not that big but nicely decorated. Friendly staff with a high service level. Diner and breakfast (buffet) were good. Stayed here for only one night as part of our trip through Lapland.

We stayed the first night in Clarion Collection Articus, and moved to Thon hotel for the last two nights in Harstad. I would clearly recommend the Thon hotel, especially for their good service and breakfast buffet. The only disadvantage is the location which is in a busy street with limited parking places reserved for hotel guests.
