Not sure this is great recommendation, if you're planning a journey!
That said, we visited Tromso last winter and had a great time; hotels were reasonable if you shopped around; food wasn't too bad; drinks were very expensive but, hey, give your liver a break! Excursions (husky sled, snowmobile etc were expensive but so they would be anywhere. The place was beautiful, the weather perfect (endless fresh snow) and the Northern Lights unmissable!
