Excelente localização; funcionários prestáveis e simpáticos; não esperava ter lavatório no quarto, o que me surpreendeu pela positiva; há café/chá e bolachas disponíveis

A limpesa do quarto podia ser feita mais regularmente

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo
Pros:

Il rapporto qualità/prezzo era molto buono. Il bagno condiviso è presente a ogni piano (accesso facile), letti sufficientemente comodi e utile Il lavandino in camera. Cucina pratica e sala da pranzo accogliente. Anche la posizione era piuttosto comoda

Cons:

Quando sono arrivato ho fatto il selfcheckin ma le schede non aprivano le porte perchè erano state programmate per un altra struttura. Sono andato io in un altra struttura per farle riprogrammare e ho percepito un certo distacco..in queste realtà piuttosto "automatizzate" a volte forse scarseggia un po il giusto rapporto con il cliente. Nonostante ciò il giorno a seguire lo staff mi è sembrato cordiale e disponibile.

Pros:

Lage ist sehr zentral. Fußläufig ist vieles erreichbar. Bushaltestellen in unmittelbarer Umgebung.
Sehr einladendes Aufenthalts- und Esszimmer.
Gemeinschaftsküche hat alles was man so braucht.

Cons:

Wir waren zu dritt mit drei Koffern. Dafür sind die Zimmer zu klein! Betten bequem aber sehr schmal. Wir waren im Untergeschoss, das Haus ist sehr hellhörig. Man hört jeden Schritt der Bewohner über einen. Bad könnte sauberer sein!

Due giorni a Tromso
Pros:

La valutazione è per l'appartamento,non per l'hotel: la posizione e il prezzo, buono per essere in centro a Tromso. Il parcheggio, anche se un pò caro

Cons:

La valutazione è per l'appartamento, non per l'hotel:
L'appartamento che ci è stato assegnato avrebbe bisogno di una ristrutturazione, è vecchio e trasandato. Pulizia buona.
