Tout s'est bien passé.
Pros:

La chambre était propre et agencé comme prévu, un petit lit pour notre fille, un lit double pour nous.
Nous avons pu partager nos restes de nourritures avec les occupants (zone réservée à cet effet).
Le réceptionniste est très sympa, il nous a donné de bon conseil pour visiter la ville.
Notre chambre était prête en avance, nous avons pu y laisser nos bagages pour visiter Tromsø.

Cons:

Parois de douche pas fini d'être installé.

Pros:

Had free access to the gym, met Idar, talked to him for some time. Most chill guy ever. Then also met Oliver - give this man a raise. He deserves it, he does his work with alot of passion and loyality. Also there was free coffee and tea in the hotel.

Cons:

The curtains weren't making the room dark enough. It's june, it was mostly bright in the room the whole night.

Great place to stay in Tromso.
Pros:

We didn’t stay in First Hotel Backpack. They moved us to First Hotel Viking which was really nice. Cosy room for 3 people but more then enough for two night stay. Also we got complimentary breakfast in near by hotel as well which worked very well for us.
Friendly staff.

Cons:

My review is about Viking not Backpack hotel but that’s fine for us.
