Smarthotel is the budget bed by the quay. Rooms are compact, check-in is at a kiosk, and Prostneset is about 100 m away in a straight line by our map.
Book direct and breakfast is included, per Smarthotel. Through anyone else it may not be, which is why it scores nothing for breakfast.
There’s no restaurant or bar, and no word on parking.
Book it if
- You want a cheap, central bed for one night

No ride to the ship is listed. Prostneset is about 100 m in a straight line by our map, a couple of minutes on foot.
From TOS without a hotel shuttle
The red airport express bus leaves from in front of arrivals and takes about 15 minutes to the centre, stopping at Prostneset; it was NOK 125 one way on the timetable that ran to 31 March 2026, per Best Arctic. City buses 40 and 42 also serve the airport, and Visit Tromsø puts a taxi at about 10 minutes to the centre. The airport page has the fares.

Which quay
ProstnesetMeasured to Prostneset, the city-centre quays where Hurtigruten’s North Cape Line and the coastal ships board, Smarthotel is about 100 m in a straight line. Ships over 230 m are sent to Breivika instead, per Seatrade, about 3.8 km away by our rough map pin. Your documents name the quay; the Tromsø cruise guide has the rest.
