Guest User: It felt like home, and the reception staffs and office manager were extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. My room included breakfast, tea break, and dinner, which was very convenient. We were even able to see the Aurora right in front of the hotel — it wasn’t a strong KP level, but it was still visible on our mobile phones.

pillow_aqiao: This hotel is the middle of Tromso to Reina Town, and is a quite good transit rest point. The room is big enough, my family lives in a triple room, and there is an extra supermarket on the side. I rent a car from Tromso to Reina Town, and live here in the middle. In fact, it should be from the port of Tromso, take the boat to the pier next to this f2 hotel, and then rent a car, so that you can rent a car for two days less. The boat information can be found in the svipper app, but the risk is that the weather is not good and the boat will stop. The triple room price is more than 700, which is really cheap. The front entrance of the hotel and the left hand side of the door are the same numbered parking lot. You can park with easy park. I only spent 50 yuan rmb one night. This hotel is basically more than 6 hours drive from Troms or Elainesen Roble Hotel. The room was very clean and I saw a cleaning person. No other waiters. This hotel is really cost-effective.
