Alltogether a great experience - but a bit noisy from the road outside in the early mornings. But I guess that’s what you get when staying in the city centre. Spacious, clean and comfortable for me and my two teenage girls. Also positively surprised by the Nespresso machine in the room. Would definitely come back.
Great apartments, close to many things, buses, walking distances to coffee, groceries, cafe's etc.
I would have liked a desk lamp for working, the living room was a bit dark for my old eyes.
Great location and we loved our room. Really great responsive staff. Easy check in and out. Kept our luggage for us until we set off for the airport. Apartment was lovely and warm. Bed comfy. Would love to come back. Tromso was a blast x

Convenient location and clean room. Kitchenette meant I didn’t have to pay to eat out - went shopping at Spar round the corner. Staff helpful. Fairly quiet although ear plugs helpful.
Location is great, very central to explore Tromso. Access to public transport is near. Our apartment was clean and had everything that we needed. Ewa at reception was very friendly and willing to assist.
Great location, check in was easy and rooms where comfortable. We had a decent experience. Would suggest management to add better blackout courtains because in summer, too much light filters through.
The room was very comfortable. It was also nice to have a laundry room available for guests. Staff was very accomodating and polite. The hotel was convenient for shopping, a mall was about a five minute walk, along with a variety of eating places and supermarkets. We felt very safe too.

Hello thank you for the wonderful stay it was very pleasant and we loved the hotel and staff support!
Can you please tell me, in our room there were bed comforters to lay down on what is the brand? I want to buy in Canada but they were made in Norway I think? They are so comfortable we loved them!

Great hotel with lots of space in the room and a very friendly staff. Very walkable to everything downtown. It was also nice to have a key card access to not only our floor, but the entrance to the hotel as well. Only complaint is that there's only one mirror in the bathroom, so multiple women will struggle a bit.
The apartment was as described in the property description. It had fully reported kitchen. The room and hotel both are kept clean. The location is quite central to both supermarkets and tourist meeting points. The staff at reception are welcoming and friendly.
Solo traveler. My stay was great. The room was small but it had everything I needed. The bed was so comfortable just perfect. The location was in the middle of everything. Ideal. I walked everywhere. So happy I chose this place for my four days in Tromso.

This property should be rate 2 or 3 stars.........rooms were extremely small (even though I got the room for 3 people), bathroom was the smallest I had seen...no amenities in the bathroom....no breakfast (they sent to a different hotel that is 10 minutes walk and has a below average breakfast for an expensive amount).
Location of the hotel was good.
Met Nasrin on arrival. She had a wonderful way of greeting and being helpful throughout our 4 night stay which enhanced our time at the hotel.
The accommodation was warm in bad weather! The kitchen area was fine but lacked anywhere to dry dishes (could lead to water damage of units). The area around the table and chairs was very dark and would benefit from a light source. There was a loose socket on the TV wall (pointed out for health and safety reasons). Bathroom was adequately equipped and warm. Beds were comfortable. TV simple to use. Issues generally minor and pointed out to help. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Very centrally located making travel easy.
The staff at Enter City, from the front desk (Nasrin and Karolina) to the cleaning team (Maria) were incredibly welcoming. and I'm a little astonished that this facility has not received the highest marks possible. I got stranded in Tromso due to the Lufthansa strike, and so had to stay at the hotel twice (once at the last minute), and the second room was even more spacious and well appointed with a terrific view of the mountains. When I come back to Tromso with my family or university students, I will look no further than Enter City. Some of the hotels can feel quite sterile, but this place makes you feel right at home. I stayed at a few places while I was in the area, and this hands down, ranks as the best. I can't say enough great things about the staff, too!
