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.

Nice and clean place, friendly staff, free coffee and tea availability 24 hours plus free waffles at night.
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.

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.

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.

It is a very calm accommodation. I had a small room with desk, bed, sink, mini-fridge and TV. The bath and toilet were shares among guests by the hallway. There was a common area to watch TV with a shared kitchen. Rules were simple and the personell was always very attentive.
It is a nice hotel near the city center and meeting points for attractions. Don’t forget to buy your spikes.

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.

Struttura molto pulita. Personale del ricevimento molto disponibile e cortese
La primera habitación que nos dieron era en la planta subterranea y era un zulo. Al dia siguiente pedimos un cambio de habitación, y aunque no son especialmente grandes era menos agobiante que la primera que nos ofrecieron

Ho passato due notti in questa struttura e l'ho trovata molto condortevole. La stanza abbastanza spaziosa affacciava sulla via sul retro molto bella e verde. Dalla mia finestra vedevo alberi e giardini. La signora della reception molto gentile e disponibile. Se hai un problema negli orari in cui la reception è chiusa puoi trovare assistenza nella reception dell'Enter Viking Hotel.
Consigliata anche per l'ottima posizione
