Homestays in Troms, Norway

The Vander in Tromsø is a ”digital hotel.” There's no reception and no human contact person. That's not a bad thing. But you have to be aware of the situation. Check-in is either via mobile phone or the CI machine; you can also issue multiple plastic cards. This is definitely recommended. The risk is very low, but if your battery runs out, your phone breaks, etc., it's always better to have a backup. The room was relatively clean, and the furnishings were well-maintained. The Euro-Spar supermarket downstairs offers good shopping, and the Narstrada shopping center is just a few minutes away. Prices are OK by Norwegian standards. The city center can be reached in 5-10 minutes. We visited all the attractions on foot. The bus from the airport cost about €5, while Bolt was €20. Therefore, Bolt is worth considering for groups of three or more (or if your flight is very early/late). I can recommend Skaret by Vander if you're not afraid of online systems.

The facade definitely stands out and the place was cosy. However, the photos were not representative of the actual place not exactly in a good way. We stayed in the designer cabin (which costs more) but were surprised by how small it was. I would not recommend paying more for the cabin during summer as there is not much to see and less convenient considering we needed to walk a distance to access the amenities including the toilets and kitchen which we did not know when we booked.

Perfect stay if you’re looking for a more local authentic stay. We had a cozy wooden cabin with 2 bedrooms and kitchen, which was perfect for our group of 4. We cooked meals there and could hang out together in the living and dining room, all of the above wouldn’t have been possible in a traditional hotel. The location is more secluded, not convenient if you don’t have a rental car.

Hotel location is super good, 3 minutes walk to the city center, 3-5 minutes to all the group meeting points. Tromso security is very good, the apartment should be newly renovated, very clean and simple, very Nordic. All the necessities in the apartment are available, and even equipped with coffee, salt, black pepper and sugar. It is really a good choice to live in Tromso. You can cook for a few days with fresh ingredients! If you have any extra needs, or arrive early, you can leave a message to the hotel. It was a perfect stay anyway!

There is a small bed in the room, and my little friend directly said that he wanted to sleep on the small bed (he would not sleep on it at home). It's just that there is no elevator on the third floor, so it's a bit tiring to move boxes. The restaurant service is good.

I hope I can book a panoramic glass cabin next time
