Pleasant stay for 2 nights at this hotel, the facilities were clean, the kitchen was well equiped. Special mention to the fantastic client service and hospitality of Lili from réception. I would recommend for a value-oriented stay in Tromsø.

Everything was great: nice room, nice location. The only thing that was not very convenient is that the kitchen is open from 7 o'clock, and I checked out earlier, so I couldn't use it, but it's not a big problem:)

The hostel is very close to the town centre, less than 5 minutes walk, and only 6 or 7 mins from the harbour. My room was clean, quiet and comfortable as were the communal areas. The kitchen was really well equipped and I felt that for the price I paid the whole experience exceeded my expectations.

The location is very good, close to the city center, and close to bus stops. In the reception you can find coffee, hot water and cookies all day, that is really great. The kitchen is available and helps a lot! The room is clean, and the staff very friendly.

Staff was very helpfull. Very good location near the centre. There is a supermarket near the hotel as well. Kitchen was well equipped. It was lovely to have free cookies. Room is basic and a bit small, but it reflects on the price. Water for the showers took a while to warm up, but it wasn’t a big problem. Overall a very good place to stay in Tromsø.

So there was a software glitch from Enter Backpack Hotel and we where re-booked into the Enter City Hotel I would have given 5 stars for everything but, this glitch was unexpected. They emailed us to late with the change - we were already travelling. City hotel staff was great. Nice to have a washer and a drier.

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,

Everything was perfect! The position, the personal/staff, the services, shared spaces, but I would have liked bigger rooms... for the price it's not so spaceful, the room had a bed, a table, a chair, and a refrigerator, which is great, but there was not space for everything... I didn't have space, I mean, difficult to walk in the room...

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.

This was a great hotel for what we needed, somewhere in a great location that was safe and comfortable to sleep in. The two staff members on the evening shift were so lovely, a real benefit to the hotel and couldn’t do enough to help during the stay. The rooms are small but functional, our room had its own bathroom but the communal ones were perfectly clean so I wouldn’t let that stop you. The room we stayed in also backed onto both toilets so if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. This isn’t a hotel and is more of a hostel vibe so don’t expect luxury but it is good value and in a great location.

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.

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.
