http://www.destinasjontromso.no/overnatting.htm
is a list over the hotels in Tromsø.
The list itself contains no prices, here are some price examples (these are
full prices, in NOK and per night, where 100 NOK is about 13 USD:
Comfort With 845,- (say you are related to the university)
Amalie 795,-
Hotell Nord 450,-
Saga 1050,-
Polar 790,-
Ami Hotel 450,-
(Rica is sold out!)
Then there is "Apartementshus", the more rough variant, no food, more of the student flat type, 260,- / night if you stay for three nights or more.
If you want to limit the number of hotels to not too many, Rica, Amalie and Hotell Nord are recommended. There you have 3 hotels, in the high-mid-low price category, all of them in the middle of the centre and close to each other.

It is STRONGLY recommended to make your reservations as soon as possible. Tromsø houses Midnight Maraton, starting June 15th, and from 15th and onwards all the hotel rooms are already fullbooked. There are still free rooms left for the period of the WG meeting, but the sooner you book, the more choices you have.
People actually come here to see the midnight sun, so you should book in time.
