"The one-bedroomed apartment with sea view we rented was very clean and well furnished. The kitchen was more than adequately equipped and the fan quickly removed any food smells. We loved the location of the apartment. We not only had an exceptional view across the water, but we were also very close to bus stops (and the bus system in Tromsø is very inexpensive and efficient), the downtown area.

8/10 Good
"This is a budget hotel. If you want a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom, then it’s for you. If you want space and luxury, then it’s not. We’re the kind of travellers who just need a bed , a bathroom and a good breakfast (if possible), so the Smarthotel suited us very well. The buffet breakfast offered plenty of choice and was good value and the property was centrally located, and convenient for many of the sites, bars, restaurants and also buses. There was a spacious lounge on the ground floor where residents could sit, read, play games and eat The only real downside was the room reminded me a bit of a student hall room, with the bed against one wall and a desk on the other."

"This is a very modern hotel. The rooms are very well laid out. Breakfast was over the top fantastic. I couldn’t even believe that it was included with our room. Excellent location very close to the harbor. Walking distance to the main street Tromso. The view from the rooftop is fantastic and when you check in if you can get them to place you on the higher floors, you’ll have some beautiful views of the harbor area. Bottom line I would stay at this hotel again."

Only downside was the amenities, as there was only one sort of shampoo/hand wash/ body wash in the bathroom, and there was no coffee machine in the room.
