Tudo certo
Pros:

A localização é muito boa e os funcionários solicitos.

Cons:

Achei mais bonito nas fotos, cama desconfortável e paredes finas dando para escutar o que acontece nos outros quartos.
Falta de espaço para colocar as roupas, quarto bom para acomodar apenas uma pessoa, com duas já fica apertado.

Pros:

Tesisin konumu muhteşemdi. Her yere yürüyerek 5 dakika uzaklıktaydı. Çalışanlar sıcakkanlıydı ve yardımseverlerdi.

Cons:

Banyonun temizliği iyi yapılmamıştı. Özellikle duşu ilk açtığımızda idrar benzeri bir koku vardı ve hiç hoş değildi.

Emplacement idéal en plein centre
Pros:

Emplacement idéal à quelques rues du centre de Tromsø. Accès libre service à une cuisine et espace avec tables et fauteuils, eau chaude, thé, café et cookies à disposition. Efficace pour une nuit.
Pour accéder à l'hôtel en voiture il faut entrer dans une rue interdite aux véhicules (il faut le savoir). Les rues avoisinantes sont toutes en pentes (toujours bon à savoir également quand vous trimballer une valise). Lignes de bus à 5min. Personnel très agréable, je recommande

Cons:

Parking privé payant (pas la peine de compter sur les rues voisines, tout est payant) mais il semblerait qu'il soit quand même moins cher !

Tromso fantastica, se avete molte escursioni è ottimo per la posizione, comodo anche per il centro, ma stanze troppo pic
Pros:

La hall è carina , bella l’idea del the o caffè caldo illimitato nel salone interno

Cons:

Stanza piccolissima, sapevo fosse piccola ma dalle foto sembrava più spaziosa, inoltre abbastanza sporca e non ti fanno manco il letto o cambio lenzuola, l’unica cosa che cambiano sono gli asciugamani, bagno minuscolo
