Great property…once you’re in. There is no front desk so the whole check-in process is frustrating, having to download apps and follow numerous instructions etc. Room also wasn’t ready on time.
Outside of check-in problems the room was really nice and I was lucky enough to have amazing views over the harbour.

Enjoyable Stay
It’s an unmanned property which has its pros and cons.
I would have liked to have a coffee machine at the ground floor considering the weather - I appreciate the filter machine in the room but I believe it would make the stay more comfortable to have a few vending machines and a coffee machine in the basement.
Room size was adequate and with good views.
There is no housekeeping but would have appreciated if towels and linen could have been changed every 3 days instead of every 7 days.
Overall, we had an enjoyable stay.

Good option for Tromso stay
Interesting fully digital hotel. Staff is minimal, but everything seems to work as described. And digital key through their app actually works.
Property is very new, everything is clean and in good shape. Location is good and walkable to everything in Tromso.

Location was not in the very centre but Tromso city is not big so it's easy to walk everywhere. Rooms were a little squeezy so we had to move things around to fit our two luggages to not trip over them. We stayed here mainly because there was the kitchen which was stocked well with all that was needed like your pots and pans and plates and bowls and cutleries. There is no daily cleaning. We were ok with that but it would be nice to have a change of towels every 3 days. We stayed for 5 nights and just having 1 floor towel was kind of hard as it got dirty pretty quickly. Beds were comfy and there was a TV you could connect your straming services to.

Condition of property is good, and well located near and within walkable distance to various tourist spots. Rooms are clean and well furnished.
However parking is a problem if you have a car. There are no onsite parking available,

An excellent place with small kitchen. Great location. Comfy bed. Shower a bit strange but ok. Fantastic how hot water begins instantly! Check in was a little strange but manageable. You must download their app to navigate which I had issue with. All staff were delightful

Their phone app did not work for opening up the door. We had to call them and they had to reset it for us. The property is beautiful and amazing. It's quiet and in a great location. The coffee maker didn't work for us and we couldn't get some of the lights to turn on. I would stay there again, but they're not worthy of five stars because of the problems we had.

The property was very small and had no views at all. Felt very claustrophobic. The photographs of the property cleverly hid these facts that the room was indeed very small.
The quality of all furniture, appliances, amenities were very premium. Only space was the issue.

We had an issue with the electronic key but were able to resolve them and it didn’t impacted our stay. Might be challenging to get in if you are arriving outside of office working hours.
Comfortable bed, big windows, big bathroom, walking everywhere (Tromso is very small). I would stay here again :)

Excellent option. It is very close to many grocery stores and to key areas in Tromso. The facilities are really good and the building is safe.
