Comfortable Hotel
The hotel offers a pristine and inviting atmosphere, with a high level of comfort that makes guests feel right at home. Its prime location is just a stone's throw away from downtown Tromsø, allowing easy access to the vibrant city life and local attractions. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a pleasant stay in the heart of the city.

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.

Impersonal
This is a staff-less all-digital hotel. Therefore it is very impersonal and can be frustrating when something digital doesn’t work, like the key system. (Even Lumen Industries has more personal interaction.) Having a kitchen saved us money from the expensive food prices for everything in Tromso.

Nice hotel with 3 days stay
Fantastic hotel. Clean and new. No Human interaction needed, just need to download Vander apps and all went according to what was told.

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.

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.

Stayed here for a short break.
Felt the online key fob was annoying at first as we arrived early and it wouldn’t allow us to check in early.No person to talk to and we only realised the situation when the same thing had happened to other customers.
Felt the bedroom was very small as had to climb over bed to get into.No space at all around bed.Also we were in an apartment on the main road and it was quite noisy with traffic and people clubbing opposite.I choose these apartments as the reviews said in a quiet location.Clearly this wasn’t the case.
Apartment was very clean and kept well,

Fair value - comfortable space
Hotel location is convenient - not central but still very close. The size of the room is also good. We had a few issues upon check in but the staff in the office and online were happy to help. What became a challenge was the entrance - the main door is closed from about 9pm to 8 or 9 am. I was traveling with my grandmother. You are redirected to enter and exit via the basement which has stairs and no elevator option. This became an issue with carrying luggage and after a long day of walking. There is also a pad in the lobby that lets you book cabs - but we couldn’t get to the lobby during this to book a cab for the morning. Overall we enjoyed our stay and thought it was a fair value, but really wish we knew about this accessibility issue.
