Au vu du prix, la première chambre était tout à fait correcte. Mais après un deuxième passage une semaine plus tard, nous avons eu une chambre sous le toit, donc difficile de se lever sans se cogner la tête. Les lumières n'étaient pas adaptées pour lire au lit et surtout la chasse d'eau coulait en permanence. Pas de changement de chambre possible et pas de nouvelles du manager comme promis. Nous attendons toujours.

Gut gelegenes, kleines Hotel. Unser Zimmer war sehr gut, Badezimmer neu. WLAN war ok, eher langsam. Frühstück sehr gut! Leider zu wenig Platz zum Sitzen und wenn viele Personen dort sind, ist das Buffet zu eng/schmal. Würde es empfehlen , wenn man ein einfaches, zahlbares Hotel sucht. Es war sauber und das Personal sehr freundlich! Im Juli 2026 waren wir dort. Einzig die Matratzen beim Bett müssten erneuert werden. Eine war noch gut, die andere war durchgelegen.

Rent rom og fellesareal. God frokost. Negativt at ikke en eneste av personalet vi møtte snakket norsk. Det bør være en selvfølge at i hvert fall de som jobber i resepsjonen snakker et skandinavisk språk.

La camera era piccola, ma pulita e funzionale. Il personale gentile e disponibile. Colazione varia: molta scelta sul salato, qualche opzione in meno sui dolci, ma comunque soddisfacente. Rapporto qualità/prezzo/posizione assolutamente buono!!

Pænere end facaden antyder. Må være renoveret for nylig, men med materialer i den billigere ende, men helt ok. Noget lyd fra trafik på gangen og i naboværelserne var lidt generende. Acceptabel morgenmadbuffet. Kunne godt bruge noget falre varianter på Prisen taget i betragtning var det ok.

Helt greit hotell til en grei pris med en grei beliggenhet. Det hadde vært fint med et ventilasjonsanlegg, men det fungerer ganske bra med å åpne vinduene også, selv om det jo er noe trafikk og fotgjengere med vekslende promille. Frokosten er helt ok, uten at man velger å komme tilbake fordi frokosten er så sykt god. Det er greit og variert brødmat, men det må trekkes for litt deigete "bakeoff-brød". Frokostbuféen hadde løftet seg til over det ordinære med brødvarer av en litt høyere kvalitet. Renholdet er helt OK, men å legge fra seg en bunke med rene håndklær og ta med de gamle er ikke nok til toppkarakter. Litt støv og slikt i krokene, men det er omtrent som forventet. Ingen av de ansatte prater norsk, men sånn er det mye av i tromsø.

Great location but parking was a major inconvenience. No parking at the hotel, not even an ability to pull up front and take out our luggage. Had to park at either a public parking lot for $50 or a hotel about 8 min away for $35.

Pros: - Location was great and close to the city centrum. - Friendly and helpful staff - Breakfast included (if you're into that, personally I don't eat breakfast, so..) - There's a lift! great if you're tired after walking all day (especially after the hill walking to the hotel) - You could pick up toilet paper, towels, tea and such on the 3rd floor if you needed it. Con: - for a Dane the hotel was placed on a very steep hill (which gave you great workout, so I guess it's actually only a "semi-con")

Pene rene rom. Litt forskjell på rommene. Enkeltrommet litt lite. Litt dårlig påfylling i frokostsalen pga. for lite betjening. Meget behjelpelige og hyggelige resepsjonister.

Bodde to netter. Kom sent og måtte låse meg inn, men det gikk greit. Rommet var helt greit og frokosten var fin. Det eneste jeg ikke likte var at hun som betjente meg i resepsjonen ikke snakket norsk. Det forventer jeg faktisk at når du har en slik jobb i Norge må du kunne snakke norsk.

Hyggelig sted for et par netter i Tromsø. Utmerket rom og minimalt støy fra gaten til tross for 1. etg. Sentralt plassert gir gangavstand til sentrum og fasiliteter. Parkeringsanlegget hos ´søsterhotellet´Enter City noe trang å komme ut i fra med en mellomstor SUV.

Wij verbleven in juni 2026 twee nachten in dit hotel. De locatie van het hotel is prima; je loopt zo het centrum van Tromsø in. Daarmee is het positieve ook wel gezegd. Wij kozen dit hotel omdat aangegeven stond dat er een parkeergelegenheid was bij het hotel. Om niets aan het toeval over te laten, namen wij vooraf contact op met het hotel. Het hotel bevestigde ons per e-mail de aanwezigheid van een parkeergelegenheid en bevestigde ons dat zij een parkeerplaats voor ons hadden gereserveerd. Bij aankomst bleek dat er door een verbouwing geen parkeergelegenheid was. Wij werden verwezen naar een te krappe parkeergarage bij een zusterhotel op 10 minuten loopafstand. We konden ook betaald langs de weg parkeren. Als we dit van tevoren hadden geweten, dan hadden wij voor een ander hotel gekozen. De receptionist, die erg vriendelijk was, erkende dat een en ander beter gecommuniceerd had kunnen worden. Daar bleef het echter bij. Bij het inchecken was het sleutelsysteem kapot, waardoor de deur met een sleutel geopend moest worden en wij later pas de kamersleutel kregen. Het aangeboden ontbijtbuffet was beperkt en weinig vers. Hiervan hebben we dan ook maar één van de twee dagen. Al met al een weinig aansprekend verblijf in een mooie stad.

Hele hotellet var rent, ryddig og med en behagelig luft selv om den nært sentrum. Vi kom tidlig og skulle bare sette fra oss bagasjen, men siden rommet var klart kunne vi sjekke inn. Deilig å kunne slappe av litt før møtet med byen. Fra personalet side møtte vi bare positiv respons på våre ønsker. Vi kommer absolutt tilbake. Takk for et godt opphold.
