Cons:

Il y a eu une alarme incendie au milieu de la nuit. Nous sommes tous sortis. Aucun personnel de l´hôtel présent la nuit. Les pompiers ont pu arrêter l´alarme plus tard. Après leur intervention, la porte de notre chambre était bloquée avec nos biens à l´intérieur. Nous avons terminé la nuit dans une autre chambre et notre chambre a été ouverte et nous a été restituée le lendemain. Nous n´avons eu que quelques excuses.pour ces inconvenients, sans dédommagements.

Excellent location, staff and facilities!

Pros:

Propre et serviable ! Bien placé, on peut faire le centre à pied. Juste, pensez à réserver une place de parking en même temps que votre chambre car l'hôtel a peu de places de parking, mais je recommande cet hôtel à 1000 % !

Cosy small hotel in Tromsø!
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent! The staff members were all super kind and helpful. Because I stayed for one week I got a bigger room on the upper floor. Towels were often changed, thanks also for that!

Helt ok opphold, men velger det nok ikke igjen.
Pros:

Hyggelig personale. Behagelig dusj.

Cons:

Senga var utrolig ubehagelig, sov dårlig i den. Savnet virkelig et lite kjøleskap på rommet. TV var vanskelig å få til for tilkobling av pc, da den bare ville slå seg av etter 10 min pga manglende Signal. Frokosten var til et minimum, mangelfull.

Pros:

Perfect location, staff were very friendly and welcoming, room was exactly the size we needed for the time we had at Skansen and serviced well.

Cons:

Only criticism is the bed was very soft so not the most comfortable but couldnt fault anything else.

Pros:

Gode senger, likte at ekstrasengen var en ordentlig seng og ikke bare en dårlig sovesofa. Stort pent nyoppusset bad, god frokost!
