Pros:

Cicho, spokojnie, CZYSTO bez dodatkowych zapachów maskujących, przestronna kuchnia, blisko- jadalnia, można było dokupić miejsce parkingowe

Cons:

W dniu przyjazdu- zamieszanie dotyczące zmiany pełnej nazwy obiektu- co przy bardzo trudnym poruszanie się po mieście (uliczki zagmatwane, z trudnym dojazdem)- nie ułatwiło dojazdu. Pomogły - BIAŁE NOCE :)

For knotete beliggenhet i fjellskrenten
Pros:

Rommet og senga ok. Ok, med kjøleskap og vask i rommet.

Cons:

Å komme to ganger til den ene felles toalett i 2.etasje som er ulåst og folk der.
Rom låsen fungerte ikke andre dag, og skapte utfordringer. Måtte gå til deres søster hotell ned fjellskrenten for å få ny, men fungerte heller ikke når jeg skulle bruke den heller.

Pros:

Rent og pent. Doet var lite, fellesdo. Ren fellesdusj. Fint for lavbudsjettet. Stort felleskjøkken som var meget pent, med stekeovn, kokeplater og mye tallerkner, kopper og bestikk. Microbølgeovn.

Cons:

Microbølgeovnen må stå i kantina, der man spiser, for kjøkkenet stenger mellom kl 22:00 og 24:00. Nattmat etter lang dag må man ha.

I highly recommend this comfortable hotel.
Pros:

Before I arrived I was informed the backpackers hotel was undergoing renovations and I was moved to the city hotel. So my review is based on this hotel. The self checking process was easy. The bedroom/ bathroom was very clean, had a small cooktop / fridge with the necessary dishes/ utensils.The young man at reception at the Viking hotel was most helpful re sights to see / activities to do. I was in Tromso for 3 nights and would certainly stay there again.

Cons:

No complaints.
