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!

Decent stay in the middle of tromso, however there were no front desk and all assistance were only available online, so it takes a while to get help.

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.
