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.

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.

Great place to stay! The online check in process, app to use the key, room and facilities were all great! The hotel is walking distance from the main part of town, walking distance from the bus stop, and a grocery store is right next door. Would highly recommend for a low frills, easy and safe place to stay while exploring Tromso.

I really enjoyed my stay at Skaret by Vander, it was very clean and well provisioned, check in was simple and so was the laundry. I would recommend earplugs as the area can be quite loud in the early morning!

Check the fridge the moment you check in. The housekeepers don’t reset it and it might not work. Pipes going through the ceiling makes dripping noise for hours in the middle of the night. I think it’s due to melting snow or rain. Be aware. Otherwise it’s wonderful. Lovely property.

I found the apartment very clean, efficient, well loc as ted to sites, restaurants and a grocery. Everything is done electonically and no one is on site which can be a little challenging. We were not able to enter the lobby after hours and had an early morning departure socould not use the online cab hailing device and had to walk to a hoteltoorder it, a minor inconvenience.

Very cozy mini apartments. Well stocked kitchenette (appliances, plates, pans, etc). Comfy bed. Next door to a large grocery store and centrally located. A laundry room was a plus. Nice gym that we didn’t use- no room for gym shoes in our luggage. Very secure with in-app key access to building and apartment.

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.

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 location for all things. Easy link to/from airport, shops, restaurants and tourist area. Office is manned occasionally so useful for any issues. Only issue is lack of on site cafe, food options if you arrive late or Sunday when most places are closed.

This place was nice. It was nice to have an apartment style room with a kitchen. I had a few problems though. Neither my app nor the kiosk worked for check in, so I had to go to the office. By the time I had my key card, there were three other groups waiting with the same problem. I was also disappointed that there wasn’t a microwave, but maybe they’re not common in Norway.

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.
