Its a very quaint and nice hotel. Offers breakfast in the mornings and has lounge areas. Very close to the port where i was leaving from and within walking distance of most shops and restaurants. Overall a great place to stay.

Comfortable
We were very comfortable at Enter Skansen. The hotel feels new, the room was spacious and the buffet breakfast was filling. The location is a short walk to the central attractions. Paid parking is available nearby. The only negative comment I could make is the noise of the winter car tyres managed to penetrate the double glazed windows, so we heard every car drive by.

It was a small and quaint space. Very clean, easy accessible for most things in Tromso or close enough to taxi or bus ride.

Terrific place to stay in Tromso. Super clean, great location, nice staff. Continental breakfast is very decent with fresh bread, fruits, some meats and much more. Located just a block from the heart of town. Would easily stay here again. Great value.

I came on a solo trip to take part in the PolarNight Half Marathon, so my single room served the purpose. Perhaps consider putting a cupboard in the bathroom area where there is space for it. Apart from that, the staff are very friendly, it was clean, and the breakfast was very good.

Good location just out of the centre.
Easy bus links to airport.
Room was simple but didnt want for anything....couldn't get tv to work but that wasnt important.
Breqkfast would benefit from hot food bit its advertised as continental so cant conplain.
Staff were very friendly ans helpful. I reported shower had a leak and receptionist took a bote to sort.
Would recommend and stay again

Good value for money
Room was clean and in very good condition. We got good night sleep. Location was great, hotel is close to the city centrum.
Only slightly negative part about the room was dimout curtains that didn't cover the whole windows (remember to pack sleeping mask!). Parking area was small, but luckily there werent too many cars.

Nice and clean.
Recently renovated room. Nice and clean. Sadly had to leave before breakfast so didn't get to try it.
Got a cost-free early check-in
