Tromso Activities Hostel

The hostel is settled in the city centre, 5 min walking distance from the main square and nightlife. Outstanding hospitality. Even if we arrived after the check-in time available, they called us and opened us.

The kitchen is too small for a hostel and a bit dirty, but fine for breakfast. We were five, and it was a bit uncomfortable since if we were in the kitchen, nobody else could be in it as well. Also, something I am not used to, the hostel is completely unfurnished of keys. The room is always open, as the bathroom as the shower. In Norway, they are not used to steel, but still, I would feel more comfortable with a key.

Location is very good, a few meters from city center.

First, I have been welcomed by a very impolite Spanish receptionist, Teresa, who, when realized about her rudeness, apologized. Toilet and shower are very small and quite rudimentary. Guests are hosted in two houses, I was in the blue house. As the living room is big to sit 7-8 persons, guests of the other house were coming to relax and to spend the evenings in the blue house. That meant people drinking and talking loud all day long till it was time to go to bed, at midnight. As you can imagine, the toilet on the ground floor was every evening disgusting. On the weekend, because the living room of the other hostel in the city was as well too small, receptionists and guests were coming to the blue house to party. The door of room 8 was impossible to be closed so I could only sleep until the guys were away. Oven and microwave were not working. 57 Euro the night for this piggery ?? Don’t pay it.
