Quality Grand is the plain, reliable one. Strawberry says breakfast is always included, the airport bus stops outside, and Prostneset is about 100 m away in a straight line by our map.
It was Scandic Grand Tromsø until December 2025, and some transport pages still call the stop by that name.
It ties Thon Tromsø on 40 and ranks fifth by a few metres between our pins. There’s no restaurant, bar or gym listed.
