Bra beliggenhet, bra personale, litt shabby leilighet
Pros:

Sentralt, veldig hyggelig personale

Cons:

Ikke godt vasket, hull i veggene, manglet en del ting som vi spurte om på forhånd om var tilgjengelig. Verdens minste varmtvannstank når det var 7 sengeplasser så fikk bare en person dusjet på morgenen i 10 minutter før det var tomt for varmtvann :/

No sé si lo recomiendo…
Pros:

Reserve por booking con “enter backpack apartments”, nadie me avisó que el check in y el departamento era en otra dirección (5 min a pie más abajo). Deje a mi familia con las maletas más arriba y fui a recoger la llave (ya que en la dirección indicada no había NADIE!) y ahí me dijeron que el departamento estaba justo al lado… una pérdida de tiempo total, comunicación nula. Era mi cumpleaños, lo había avisado, y no recibí nada especial. Me dijeron que me habían hecho “upgrade” pero no era cierto… el departamento es funcional, cómodo y está bien ubicado. El utensilio de cocina es poco y está bastante en mal estado (sobretodo las sartenes). No hay lavadora ni secadora. Al ducharte, el agua se sale por todos lados. Es funcional para una corta estancia como la nuestra, sin embargo la falta de comunicación y detalles no generaron una buena impresión en mi, siendo que también trabajo en hostelería. No lo recomiendo.

Backpack im Zentrum
Pros:

Günstige Unterkunft für eine Nacht. P beim Haus. Zentral gelegen. Kleine Wohnung mit allem, was man braucht für eine Nacht.

Cons:

Betten sind für mich viel zu weich. Sehr kleine Räume, sehr steile und enge Treppe bis oben (schwierig mit grossen Gepäckstücken)

Noice. Would like to come back to visit tromso again
Pros:

The staff is very nice and helpful. The apartment is nice, clean, cozy and well furnished. It's also very central and close to the harbor or bus station. The common area is very nice.

Cons:

The rooms are small and don't have good soundproof. Only one of them has closet.

Excelente estadía, cómoda y cálida.
Pros:

Ubicación, comodidad y comfort.
Ambiente cálido para los días de frío.
Agua caliente excelente para el momento de la ducha.
Espacio amplio para que se alojen hasta 6 personas.
A minutos del centro de la ciudad, tuvimos la suerte de ver auroras desde la puerta del alojamiento, incluso con la temporada finalizada.

Cons:

Solo a modo de sugerencia, añadiría un espejo en al menos una habitación, ya que solo hay uno en el
Baño y al ser 6 personas podría ser útil contar con uno adicional.
El TV del living comedor era antiguo y no se conectaba a internet, para los días fríos es interesante contar con ello para pasar el rato.

A cosy, convenient and all-in home for a trip in Tromso for a family of 4 adults.
Pros:

The apartment space was bigger than expected and had 3 rooms so sharing with a family was comfortable and it allowed us some me-space when needed. The kitchen area though compact had almost every cooking ware/appliance and tableware if you decide to cook up meals (My family did! Used almost every tool and appliance). They also have a washer and dryer. The view from the bedrooms were good, though I stayed at a lower level, as it overlooked Tromso's city center area.

Cons:

Some of the soft furnishing and the carpet was dusty, could have been more clean.
We tried to vacuum ourselves with the vacuum cleaner in the apartment but it gave off a musky and sour smell.
The shower cubicle is a little compact if you are of a taller and bigger build.
