Guest scores and detailed hotel feedback

Past guest experiences and opinions
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the hotel's location, finding it conveniently near the bus station and just a short walk-around 200 meters-to the city center's restaurants and shops. The complimentary waffles, available in the evenings, along with the 24/7 tea and coffee station with cookies, are frequently mentioned as a delightful and welcoming touch. Rooms often feature amenities like smart TVs, free internet, and fridges, though some guests have noted that the rooms can feel a bit old. The proximity to attractions like the harbor and the shuttle bus for the cable car makes exploring Tromsø easy and enjoyable.

convenient and friendly

lovely staff helpful advice transportation advice complimentary waffles
i stayed for four nights. the staff were consistently lovely. one particular staff member was kind to make waffle batter. they spoke norwegian when i attempted phrases and provided helpful advice on transportation and local shops. the complimentary waffles and hot drinks were a nice touch.
There was no storage in the room. A wardrobe held two coats, but no drawers existed, so we lived out of our suitcase. the bathroom was tiny though. I had to enter it sideways.

I noted the complimentary tea and coffee available all day. The location was central, a great help for seeing local attractions. I also found the room to have a very cosy mattress.

A Convenient Stay

friendly staff perfect location spare space small bathroom
The staff were friendly. They always offered coffee and tea at the entrance, and I liked the waffles. I found the hotel location to be perfect. It was near the meeting point for most of the tours and in the center.
The room lacked storage. I found no drawers, so I had to live out of my suitcase, which took up the only spare space on the floor. The bathroom was very small. You had to walk into it sideways.
