Location is perfect! 5 minute walk front the city center! Close to everything! Big kitchen and common area Amazing staff! Super nice and very clean property! Price is also very affordable

The single room with shared bathroom is not very comfortable. I know I booked a very basic room (single room with no bathroom) however it would be nice to add a small mirror in the room and more hooks to hang stuff since it can fit a desk. There is a tv in the room but no mirrors.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel! Firstly, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, which made us feel welcome from the start. I had a few questions before arriving, and the response time to my messages were very quick and I appreciated the thoughtfulness and detail in the replies. The room and bathroom were very clean, and the bed was comfortable – we slept well every night. Hairdryers are available at reception if needed, which was a nice convenience. The complimentary cookies and hot drinks were a lovely touch, and we enjoyed spending time in the cosy lounge area in the evenings. The location was also great – just a 5-10 minute walk to restaurants and shops. I also advise trying the tap water in the kitchen, it's so crisp. Overall, a great experience, and I’d be happy to stay here again!

The hotel has a good location at the city center. Walk down and you are in the center, walk up to get to the local park etc. Personnel is very friendly and provide you with answers and suggestions during your stay! Room is well heated and temperature was easily adjusted.

Building is a little old. As such the rooms were smaller than expected (not a real issue for solo travelling). The shower in my room was also quite small, this might not be an issue for other rooms or people (shared shower could also be used which is larger!). The bed was also quite soft, but this is a personal preference.

The kitchen was well equipped with 2 separate hobs for 2 person to cook at same time. A staff, Katie (not sure the spelling), was very friendly and energetic, giving a very nice vibe for the hotel. They change towels everyday, can put the “Do not enter” sign if you don’t need daily change & cleaning.

Some time there’s very foul smell in my toilet. Not sure is from the ventilator or drainage. Wifi wasn’t strong in my room, hardly get the signals, couldn’t make a smooth video call. Might be dangerous to go up/down the steep slope during winter when floor gets icy.

I highly recommend this place for those who want to enjoy Norway on a budget, but still want to experience exceptional service. The receptionists were always available in case of any question even if you asked them about northern light spots or anything. I really liked their mentality about wanting to make every guest's experience super good as they understood that most of us came to Tromsø to make our dream come true. The complementary cookies, tea, coffee and the waffles during the afternoons were really generous, I have never experienced something like that in any other places (probably it is normal in Norway, but not in many other European countries). The kitchen was very well-equipped, the room was a little small, but still ok for 2 people, and I really liked the initiative of the common fridge and box where we could leave what we couldn't eat during our stay so others can have it for free later, it is both very good because it reduces the amount of wasted food and given the norwegian prices, it is a huge help for budget travellers. I can't say a bad word about them, also the washing machine and drier worked 24/7. I only wish that they keep on with this mentality and brighten every single traveller's stay in Tromsø as they did with ours.

Good basic room with a nice hot shower. Fridge and TV in the room. Friendly communal areas and staff. Free beverage station available 24/7 with coffee, teas (including English breakfast), hot chocolate and milk if you want it and biscuits. DIY free waffles every day 17:00 to 19:00 with jam and brown cheese. Communal kitchen that has everything you might need to cook your own meals. Located to the rear of central Tromsø.

Limited storage, even the addition of a couple of hooks to hang things on would help. No kettle in the room but the beverage station makes up for that.

A comfortable room with a twin bed, chair, HDTV, fridge, carpet, window, and in some cases a sink. A common WC (toilet+sink), and a separate shower room. Everything was impeccably clean, and I felt so very comfortable staying here. But the real stars of the EBH are the staff - they make you feel like you're at your home away from home, and are genuinely interested in what brings their guests to them. Be aware that dining out in Tromso is ex-pen-sive, so having access to the communal kitchen could be a financial lifesaver for you. I plan on bringing the family with me next time, and we will definitely stay here.

I wish the kitchen were open later, but this isn't a showstopper.

Excellent location only a block up the hill from the other town properties (yielding great views). EBH is one of a few "Enter" properties in town that cater to visitors of all types, so the company has access to all things that make for a successful stay in Tromsø. The room was basic but comfortable and white-glove clean, as were the communal WC and shower room. Use of the house kitchen is most welcome, as dining out in Tromsø is _very_ expensive. But the stars of the show, Simon and Kadi, just made me feel so very at home. We talked about my experience visiting the town, the Norwegian economy, and how happenings in my home country affect them despite being so very far away. I plan to return with family in tow one day, and I expect to stay at the Enter Backpack Hotel. If I'm lucky, I'll get to catch up with Simon and Kadi again! Thank you for your warmest hospitality!

I was bummed to learn that the kitchen closed earlier than my jetlagged stomach would stop nagging me. My room hosted a rear-side access panel to the electrical circuit breakers for the building. That panel could use a quick paint touch-up. Not a worry though.

Booked last minute due to a flight cancellation and were very happy with the hotel. Staff on reception were very friendly and accommodating, the room was comfortable and warm, the shower was hot and a good pressure and the free tea, coffee and non-alcoholic mulled wine was a really nice addition! Also a really convenient location for the town.

Rooms are a little bit dated but no issues and actually very comfortable. One thing to note is the hotel is on top of a hill which is a bit difficult to navigate in snow/icy conditions so just be aware!

The staff were super friendly and helpful. They were willing to answer every kind of your questions and share a lot of tips and advice for your trip. It was fun that the property offered free waffles every day, you can enjoy a good tea time and experience the local culture. Although it is located a bit up the hill, it is still quite accessible to the city center.

The wifi connection could be improved, sometimes I got disconnected even I saved both networks offered by the property.
