An overnight stay.
Pros:

We had the doudle room with bathroom which looks out over Tromso, we even saw a little streak of green aurora from the room. The staff are friendly and helpful. There's free coffee and biscuits, it's in a good location to walk to the city in 5 minutes.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

I was travelling with my Mum so booking a 'hostel' style hotel felt risky but we had a great experience. We had a ground floor room and it was a little bit noisy but after the first night we didn't notice the comings and goings as much. We had a private room with a bathroom and it had everything we needed and the towels were replaced as needed. Tea and biscuits available in the lounge area. We didn't use the kitchen but it looked clean and tidy.

Pros:

櫃台員工遇到三位都非常的貼心熱心

Cons:

照片拍得很現代的實際上很舊。獨棟公寓的廁所都發霉了。浴簾發出惡臭到整個房間都聞得到。窗簾透明到街口將整間屋子看得一清二楚。 幸好專業的員工幫我們拔掉浴簾，換了窗簾

Good!
Pros:

There’s this massive kitchen for which we can cook in. The hotel was very reasonably priced, tidy and it’s very well equipped for any travellers who just want a place to crash and maybe even cater for themselves! I’d recommend!

Cons:

Generally not much given its price. The ensuite is obviously quite simple, so is the room itself. But again, you cannot ask for too much given its price. I’d say it’s quite cost-effective

Very good
Pros:

The kitchen facilities are very complete and particularly clean. The staff with dreadlocks at the front desk is very nice. When we were cooking, I accidentally burned the bottom of the pot. The staff at the front desk cleaned up very well and didn't blame us. I felt very sorry, but I'm very grateful. Besides, the location is great and the cost performance is very high.
