"We had an amazing stay at Moxy Tromsø! ⭐️ The room was comfortable, modern and had everything we needed. I especially loved the thoughtful details, including the fantastic lighting, heated bathroom floor and the super cool toiletries. Everything felt stylish and well designed, making our stay really enjoyable. The only thing I missed was an electric kettle in the room, which would have been a nice addition. Also, I would have been more happy with a proper wardrobe as well. Other than that, we had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend Moxy Tromsø!"
