Great place to stay! The online check in process, app to use the key, room and facilities were all great! The hotel is walking distance from the main part of town, walking distance from the bus stop, and a grocery store is right next door. Would highly recommend for a low frills, easy and safe place to stay while exploring Tromso.

Good location in Tromso. Could not check in because the VANDER app would not recognize our phone number, which is the only way to gain access to the app. Fortunately someone was on-site in the middle of the day to get us our room keys. Main entry turnstile stopped intermittently making entry to the hotel more tedious.
