Location was not in the very centre but Tromso city is not big so it's easy to walk everywhere. Rooms were a little squeezy so we had to move things around to fit our two luggages to not trip over them. We stayed here mainly because there was the kitchen which was stocked well with all that was needed like your pots and pans and plates and bowls and cutleries. There is no daily cleaning. We were ok with that but it would be nice to have a change of towels every 3 days. We stayed for 5 nights and just having 1 floor towel was kind of hard as it got dirty pretty quickly. Beds were comfy and there was a TV you could connect your straming services to.

An excellent place with small kitchen. Great location. Comfy bed. Shower a bit strange but ok. Fantastic how hot water begins instantly! Check in was a little strange but manageable. You must download their app to navigate which I had issue with. All staff were delightful

Their phone app did not work for opening up the door. We had to call them and they had to reset it for us. The property is beautiful and amazing. It's quiet and in a great location. The coffee maker didn't work for us and we couldn't get some of the lights to turn on. I would stay there again, but they're not worthy of five stars because of the problems we had.

The property was very small and had no views at all. Felt very claustrophobic. The photographs of the property cleverly hid these facts that the room was indeed very small.
The quality of all furniture, appliances, amenities were very premium. Only space was the issue.

We had an issue with the electronic key but were able to resolve them and it didn’t impacted our stay. Might be challenging to get in if you are arriving outside of office working hours.
Comfortable bed, big windows, big bathroom, walking everywhere (Tromso is very small). I would stay here again :)

Excellent option. It is very close to many grocery stores and to key areas in Tromso. The facilities are really good and the building is safe.

The location is excellent. There is a grocery store right next door, mall behind the building. I would have liked if they would have provided cleaning services during our stay. We stayed for 9 days and our unit was not cleaned even once. I also requested to do it at least once but nothing.

Modern automated hotel.
Check in/out okay once I got my head around the peculiarities of the system. I would have preferred human staff.
Access to left luggage was a pain at the weekend. Room.... Very well kitted out, bed very soft and the mattress topper kept shifting. A sound choice, but I'd prefer a traditional hotel.

Great place, but need active mobile phone service
Great apartment, very clean, and in an excellent location. However, the app-based key system may be a challenge for foreign visitors not wanting to take mobiles off airplane mode and pay for roaming charges. Twice the wifi in the building could not be picked up at the night entrance door (that must be used between 9pm to 9am) so had to use cellular data and pay for roaming twice for just a 2 second use of the app to unlock the door, which was really unfortunate.

Lake of communication!!!! We arrived at the airport in Norway and still had not received the code to get in our room. Took a few international calls before we could finally get into the room!!! Unacceptable!!!!
