Very Good

Just what you need for a short stay away- great location. I contacted staff for late check out or use of the luggage store however didn’t receive any response.
Cute little apartment. Only real complaint is that the bathroom sink wouldn’t drain. The 10:00 checkout was a little inconvenient too.
All communication including check in codes was communicated via email which worked just fine.

The location of this apartment is great. You can walk to restaurants, shops and harbor area. The place was spaceous and clean. Beds are very comfortable. Checking in was not easy since we were not given the number of our apartment in the check-in info and we had to call to find out. We were also missing a coffee maker, pots, and sharp knives (and kitchen towels) which made it difficult to prepare breakfasts. The bathroom is very small.
Listing does not show outside of the building, which is probably because it looks like a military barracks. There are large trash containers greeting you at the front door. Then a long flight of spiral stairs with no elevator to the rooms. Charge NOK 100 for “luggage storage”, which was only a water heater room.
Rooms are utilitarian at best. One small pillow per person. No soap for a shower. Chairs were covered in stains in both units. Blackout curtains were black velvet on which dust was visible and was enough to cause allergies. Only one side of the bed had a night stand. Staff do not respond to any communication we sent to them. We had no heat in one room and had asked for two rooms together and instead got the two furthest rooms possible. Several light bulbs were also out and/or missing which could not be taken care of because staff was reachable by text only and did not respond.
Overall the appeal of the apartment hotel is to have a place that is comfortable to hang out in and have a quick meal. You give up the common areas of a hotel for the space and simple amenities of the room. It was very hard to get comfortable here. The stained chairs were unsettling. Who knows what that is. There were no places for clothes and suitcases, just a small open air coat rack.
This was the worst accommodation I have experienced in many years. Would not recommend to anyone unless they are expecting conditions similar to a youth hostel.
Comfy and cosy small apartment. Access with the stairs is very tight and there is no alternative. Extraction fan above stove dripping fat onto element it desperately needs a clean. Would have been lovely to have a toaster too.
Handy place for a night or two but photos on the hotels.com website of dining scenes are not at the same location which we found a bit misleading.
Absolute best value for the price. I spent 400 dollars for 4 nights and it looked like I should have spent 700 dollars for 4 nights. It was super nice and fancy. Definitely would stay here again
Unfortunately stay wasn’t great. I didnt expect that toiletries are missing, that’s not good when you check in late at night and you can’t take a proper shower. Also the sound (like vibrating or something) was 24/7 so it was hard to get asleep.
TV wasn’t working as well.
15 minute walk from a lot of pick-up spots for tourist activities. Close to bus stops. Self check-in is convenient for travel plans. Kitchenette and washing machine not expected, but nice to have.
We arrived about midnight through Tromso airport. We had no trouble with instructions for getting into our accommodation. Because no shops were open at that time we were not able to buy teabags or milk so had nothing until next morning when only a seven eleven was open.
Un appartamentino tra i più forniti che mi siano capitati, c'è tutto: lavatrice, stendino, lavastoviglie, termosifoni, utensili di ogni tipo. Ideale per chi vuole il confort e la privacy di un appartamento senza doversi arrangiare troppo. La zona era molto tranquilla, con una comoda fermata dell'autobus nelle vicinanze. Il centro di Tromso era a soli 10 minuti a piedi, quindi la posizione dell'appartamento è ottima. Ideale per coppie, gli spazi nell'appartamento sono ben distribuiti, infatti pur essendo un monolocale non si ha mai la sensazione di essere in un ambiente troppo stretto. Molto ben organizzato anche il sistema di accesso all'appartamento, con codice, in modo da non avere ansia di smarrire le chiavi. Lo consiglio vivamente.

Det eneste negative var utsjekk kl 10, og ingen mulighet for å være litt lengre.
Det er tidlig pånen søndag.
Detta var inte speciellt bra. Lägenheten var kall så jag fick ofta sätta på ugnen som värme. Ugnen var inte städad, så det fanns mkt smulor från maträtter. Ugnen gick inte att öppna helt. Detta hade med placeringen av ugnen att göra i lägenheten (vid dörren). Så den gick bara att öppna halvvägs. Bortsett från det gillade jag stället.
Men betalar jag 1500 kr per natt så förväntar jag mig en viss standard. Det jobbigaste var kylan faktiskt, det var väldigt kallt på rummet. Sätt dit ett element som man kan använda nästa gång.
Appartement très petit. Photos trompeuses. Literie inconfortable. Mauvaises odeurs dans le couloir et dans l’appartement (plomberie, égout).
Mauvaise expérience.
Je ne conseille pas, malgré la proximité avec le centre ville.
A localização é excelente. Fora isso, o espaço é mediano, faltavam utensílios/taça, não tem secadora, box do banheiro não tem lugar pra colocar nada e fica muito molhado, não fornecem tapete de banheiro, quarto não tem termostato então regular o aquecimento é complicado (aquecimento elétrico). O local também não oferece espaço para deixar bagagens e são ruins em responder mensagens do hoteis.com (só ligando mesmo e em inglês).
Bra plass og bo. Kunne vært satt på varme på rommene bad og oppholdsrom da. For det var iskaldt ved annkomst og tok forholdsvis "lang" tid å varme opp.
Sluk på bad var "tørr" så det luktet på badet. Tv kunne vært oppkoblet mot et system slik at ikke alt måtte sendes til tv vis Crom cast. Som forsåvidt var plugget ut..
Alt i alt en bra plass og bo og rolig og fosåvidt en 10min spasertur unna sentrum.
