Good

Very close to city center and meeting points for all tours. The room is simple and clean and has everything you need. Staff come to empty garbage cans and replace towels daily. The private washroom is on the small side but it’s expected. The staff at the reception are friendly and kind! If you are coming with large luggage be aware that it’s up a small incline.
My first stay in a backpack hotel and it was great, so much friendlier than a stay in a hotel. Room was fine and had a good shower. I hadn’t seen a message on my Expedia account that you have to go to a different location to check in but the people I was travelling with were sent an email to explain that reception closes at 6pm. Good size kitchen and the tea/coffee point in the lounge area was great.

Decent staff, but has bed bugs
The hotel was fine for being budget. Has a shared kitchen which is nice for cooking your own food.
However, I discovered after the second night that the room has bed bugs. This should be completely unacceptable for any hotel. The rest of my trip I’ll be trying to sort this out.
The staff are super friendly but that’s about the only positive for this hotel.
Much better than expected. Nice, clean, very comfortable beds, and a pleasent common area. Very good service! We Will be back : )

Comfy, clean, affordable stay
Super helpful receptionist who gave me the option to move rooms at check in as I had arrived early and my room wasn’t ready yet. She also gave me lots of information. Very clean rooms & comfy beds, lovely view from my room. Clean bathrooms and toilets,
Very accomodating reception, with very friendly staff! Clean and quiet hotel and place is less than 10mins walk to the city centre with all the shops, restaurants, pubs and meeting points for tours.😄
I love the staff there. They are all kind and helped me with taxi as well. I cannot say thank you enough in my heart. Thank you for your service.

One bed Room with private bathroom
Felt more like a hostel than a hotel. Small room with no closet or place to hang your clothes, and there was no elevator, but everything was proper and clean, the shared kitchen was fully equipped with tableware and kitchenware.
The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was good.
from the minute we arrived the staff took care that our needs were met. Having just come from our artic cruise we arrived early but no problem with dropping off our luggage until it was check-in time so we could enjoy already some of the beautiful city of Tromso. A lounge with table and chairs and two sofas were available for those who just needed to collect themselves. Coffee/Tea was complimentary. Our room was Spic N Span clean and the view was to die for...really! A BIG thumbs up to Enter Backpack.
