Ersfjordbotn Brygge

Location Calmness

Not many activities/ eateries/ grocery shops around

The location - great views from the balcony (we saw the Northern lights from there too), peaceful and quiet with easy parking right beside. Not far from the airport as well. Apartment is spacious and sufficient facilities.

Nothing - do be mindful that the nearest cafe and supermarket is a drive away.

Die Lage und Nähe zu Tromsö sind perfekt. Dass dieses kleine Apartment über eine Waschmaschine verfügt, finde ich top.

Die Küche ist etwas spärlich ausgerüstet.

Rewelacyjna lokalizacja. Apartament bardzo przestronny , wyposażony we wszystko co do życia potrzebne. Bardzo dobrze zaciemnione sypialnie (byliśmy w czerwcu)

Sijainti erinomainen, todella kaunis paikka vuonon äärellä. Kohtuullisen lyhyt matka keskustaan.

Sisustus niukka ja ei niin viihtyisä. Pienellä investoinnilla voisi saada todella viihtyisän.

Great location for viewing the Northern Lights. Everything you need is in the apartment. I recommend.

The location right on a fjord is incredible with amazing views, especially at sunrise and sunset. Easy access as it’s only a 20-minute drive from the airport and 35 minutes from Tromso city centre. The road is icy though and it's best to rent a car. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of scenic drives. There's a nice cafe a 10-minute walk away (spikes for your shoes are recommended). The apartments are modern, clean, warm, and spacious.

We're not a fan of the twin beds (but knew that going in). There was no sharp knife (only a bread knife), shampoo or shower gel.

Perfect and beautiful location, friendly staff

Everything was perfect we saw northern lights from our balcony.

no taxis available near by also no public transport.

The location The calm The fjord The kettle The warmth The northern lights

Noisy neighbors at the end of the stay (tourists)

Ersfjordbotn Brygge has a scenic location situated at the end of the road in between the fjords! It is a great getaway from the busy city life nestled in a cozy corner. The host was super helpful and kind to drop us till the bus station. Kudos to providing such luxuries and making us feel at home far away from home.

There’s nothing not to like about the property, it’s just that owing to its secluded location, there aren’t many eateries around and the one cafe closest to the apartment is also closed on Sunday. One should better be prepared with supplies to eat as commuting during the snow storm could be a challenge with very limited public connectivity.

The view was incredible!!! Great value for the unit itself and there was an amazing grocery store just down the road (Edie Handel). I visited with my wife and two daughters in winter and it was everything we wanted out of a fjord experience. We would love to visit again in the summer. The WiFi worked great and it came with a washer. Perfect place for a small family. And we saw the northern lights right from our balcony.

The doors in the main hallway all hit each other when trying to open them. The shower doors didn’t close right.

The apartment was very comfortable and the location beautiful.

Fishing cabin sitting at the shore of beautiful Ersfjord, about 30 minutes away from Tromso and about 20 mins from the Tromso Airport. Warm and very clean. Beautiful view outside, northern lights (not guaranteed in price :)) above your head in winter. It's super quiet and relaxing, area around is very very beautiful. Apparently you can go boat fishing and kayaking on the fjord in the summer.

It's listed as hotel, but it's a building with rental apartments, in winter the reception is unmanned, but staff is very responsive via whatsapp, even late in the evening. Apartment is clean and functional, but has minimum equipment (i.e. blankets would be nice) and is quite simplistic.

Location to view northern lights is unbeatable. We saw the best northern lights during our stay here.

View, space, location, beds

Tv did not work

Absolutely amazing views with the northern lights over the fjord. Everything inside the accomodation is comfortable, warm, nice kitchen, the bed, good views outside

A bit more personal reception (maybe write a note with information) or a more warm interior (its all a bit grey) would make it even better, but its allready really good and would recommend the place anyways

The apartment was perfect & the location amazing … heavy snow actually enhanced the whole experience … If you visit , the supermarket EIDE HANDLE ( about 4 miles away) is perfect for your shopping needs ( the owner recommended this & it’s a really nice place to shop Would recommend a car because of the location in relation to Tromso If you’re northern lights hunting I hope you have better luck than us

Tiny things maybe need attention in terms of how the apartment is equipped ( we bought ourselves a toasted sandwich maker which hopefully will help future guests ) … nothing ( other than a toaster ) missing just cutlery etc a little tired The apartment was beautifully warm , shower / hot water perfect , kitchen/ cooking facilities like brand new … might just be a Norway thing but would’ve loved a toaster !!!

Location with a beautiful view

Beautiful location. Brilliant, comfortable, view spectacular. Amazing

Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, lovely and warm 😊.

Could have been a little more 'homely', cosy. Had a few issues with some equipment but was sorted quickly. Thank you.

Great location and property. Second time I’ve stayed here and can’t wait to come back again!

Nothing!

Well furnished, clean modern apartment. All facilities including washing machine worked perfectly Excellent heating

(Not fault of property) A very bright searchlight across the bay shines into the apartment at night.

Amazing location!

We tried to rent a boat and never heard back from the staff after we called and texted.

The location is outstanding; beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. The apartment met all our needs - it was spacious, clean and had a fantastic view (we were in apartment no.3 which has a side window that looks down the fjord, as well as the main view across the harbour area). There are loads of amazing hikes and pretty beaches less than an hour's drive from the apartment (e.g. Sommarøy and Brosmetinden).

A few clothes wash tablets would have been very useful as it's not possible to buy these in small quantities - but this is a very minor point - all other facilities were great. There is a new, small, single story timber building next to the apartments which was not shown in the online photos. I think this might affect the fjord view for some apartments (but would not affect the wonderful harbour view).

Beautiful location away from the city. Gorgeous views and a walking trail next to the property. Very spacious and inviting - perfect place to stay.

Communication was not the best. I had asked about tours that showed available on the website and didn't get a response until after the fact. Check in was also not clear and I had to call when I arrived. It all worked out and I would still stay here again.

Excellent location , view, facilities

the apartment is very comfortable and clean.

Need to walk about 15-20mins from bus stop to apartment without driving the car.

The location is stunning! It requires more planning for transport if no car but well worth the effort. (You are aware of this when booking). Buses easy to use. Property was pristinely clean and very well equipped. Host was friendly and helpful and wants the best for his guests.

Nil.

Location is good. It is close to town and many sightseeing areas. We can drive to Ersfjordbotn Viewpoint in only 3 minutes. View of fjord from room and balcony is very fantastic. Room is big and all equipment is new/very well maintenance. Host provided clear info for check-in.

If microwave can be provided it will be perfect. There is no curtain at the front door. Even though the room is at the corner and there should be no one walk through, we would feel more privacy if small glass at the front door has curtain.

The location is absolutely spectacular! The heated floor in the bathroom was also great for quickly drying anything left damp from the snow.

It was a bit far from Tromsø to go back between activities so our days were long, but the property itself was great.

Located at a fjord it provided a nice view upon the fjord and the surrounding mountains. A quiet place with good chance to see the northern lights. In fact, we were able to see them from our apartement. The modern apartment is equipped with all necessary amenities. A supermarket is quite far but located between the apartement and Tromso, so you can do the shopping on the way. The landlords were very friendly and easy to get along with.

A minus point for I wasn't able to connect with my Netflix account via the Smart TV and there was no help in solving the technical problem.

The location is good.Nice view

Good value

Beautiful location, beautiful place. Secluded, but very well-furnished and well equipped with modern electronics you'll ever need for your stay.

Nothing, but make sure you plan your transport here if you don't drive. Bus don't run every hour during the day.

The location was fantastic. We were self-catering. Our host picked us up at the airport, and kindly stopped on the way to the apartment so we could do grocery shopping.

The wi-fi was totally inadequate for our needs. We had to buy a mobile data card so that we could work. Fortunately there is good mobile coverage. The staff did try to provide a fix for the wi-fi, but this was ineffective. It would have been great if they had offered to reimburse us for our mobile expenses. We understand that the wi-fi system was going to be replaced after our stay. There was a new TV in the apartment which did not work. The staff could not configure it. This would not have been a problem except that it was mid-winter and we had 22 hours of darkness. Some TV time would have been welcome.

Beautiful location, clean spacious and tidy. Everything as expected and advertised. Really nice place to stay.

The location was perfect and views stunning. So peaceful and relaxing. We didnt hear any of the other residents. About a 20 minute scenic drive into Tromso and 10 minutes to the nearest supermarket. There is a lovely little cafe the other side of the fjord which does excellent cake! It is walking distance. Unfortunately we didnt see the northern lights but I think we will definitely return.

Nothing

I didn't expect that the apartment that I rent was that big. It is excellent and it face directly to the sea (west). The place is not totally isolated, there are some houses nearby. Still, you will need a car. The bed is okay, just the top bunk bed is squeaky. Other facility is also work like brand new. If you have the intention to catch the aurora, it will not be as easy as going out to your balcony and saw one. In most of the time, you will need to go to a slightly remote area. The balcony facing west when normally aurora spread from north to south. You can walk a bit in the neighbourhood but behind the apartment, there's a hill that will block the way. Again, it might not always happened likat what I describe. You must have your car and hunt the aurora to a dark area where there is no light. And, if you stay here, we are only talking about 2 to 10 Km away to find such location.

Squeaky bed.

The location and space is great.

Beautiful apartment equipped with modern accessories. The apartment is located on the edge of the village which is in an amazing fjord. Ingvard the owner was very helpful.

The only problematic problem was the internet connection which gives issues to connect. One tip- Christmas time is extremely busy- make your activity reservations upfront

Stunning location, peaceful & quiet. If you’re lucky enough on a clear day it’s perfect to see the northern lights. Extremely spacious apartment with all basic amenities included. Only advice would be is to rent a car from the airport which is easy & affordable as taxis cost a fortune to get to the city/ airport & public transportation is scarce.

Nothing.

We booked 2 nights here hoping to see Northern Lights. On 2nd night, we could walk out to balcony area and saw the aurora !! Beautiful location by the Fjord, far from city lights but short 30 min.drive to/from Tromso center. Apt.was very spacious, kitchen could cook, warm floors and comfortable. Checkin/out was simple, the caretaker (whom we never saw) sent us message which room number and room was already open with keys inside. Plenty of parking space next to apt.and roads were well lit for night-time drive to.from town. Plan to buy your groceries, food for breakfast etc.from supermarkets in Tromso or on way. No convenience store near apt.

There are 2 bedrooms ; 1 with twin bed and 1 with bunkbed, so suitable if 1 person who can climb up/down. The kitchen doesn't have toaster or coffee so plan to bring your own. As several reviews mentioned, the lighting on ceiling is quite dim, so property should put in few standing lamps.

The view in front of the apartment is very scenic.

Nothing much, everything was adequate.

Large living & dining area with quite a nice view.

No clear instructions on checking in. Property owner is uncontactable on the day of check-in.

Very clean and beautiful view . The apartment is well equipped , Beth room is extremely clean and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The location is close to visit different scenic places like Sommarøy and Tromvik and it is not too far from Tromsø. We stayed 2 nights and definitely would return if we visit again .

Nothing.

Very nice place with a wonderful view to the fiord. Close to Tromso and very convienient.

Very nice location. Great amount of space. Lovely view. Convenient for what we wanted to do.

Kitchen equipment a bit limited - no toaster and limited tools. Oven hard to use so needed to use internet to find instructions.

I chose this as an alternative to staying in a standard hotel in Tromso. It was nice to take a 20-minute drive through amazing mountain scenery within an hour of my flight landing. Erfjordsbotn is a small town nestled at the end of a big, beautiful fjord. There’s a hike that begins within a 10-minute walk from the hotel and there’s a coffee shop/ bakery across the street from the trailhead. The room was surprisingly well-equipped. And I have to add that I’ve never had an owner of any place I’ve stayed stop by my room much less sincerely ask me to let him know if I need anything at all.

I couldn’t get the TV to work but I didn’t try very hard

Great communication from the relaxed owner. Great off street parking.

Bit cluttered with family possessions.

The location was beautiful and off the beaten path. We were able to view the northern lights from outside the building. Also, just a few minutes drive down the road was another perfect location to view the northern lights. Since there weren't restaurants close by, we cooked at the apartment each evening and enjoyed watching TV as a family. Additionally, the staff was very accommodating of our late arrival time (ca 22:00) and made contact with us about how to check-in on the day of our arrival.

While this is likely the location rather than the complex itself, there seemed to be a slight beach smell within the apartment, which was slightly odd to experience in the winter. However, I am quite sensitive to smell and thus was the only one in my family to notice this scent.

Completely gorgeous location!!! Extremely clean, neat place to stay!

Nothing!

The view was actually amazing as it's away from the city center.

Away from facilities and tours because all the tours and activities start from the city center. I thought it's a hotel but these are apartments so shouldn't have a 4-star on booking.com because it's misleading. There is no lobby, houes-keeping, restaurants or food. No near supermarkets. Public transportation is not frequent in that area. Would recommend to have a car if wants to live there.

Easy check-in and check-out. Perfect location to stay and do activities around Kvaloya

Very minor but lighting in livingroom might be a bit cosier

location is 10/10. gorgeous fjord

furnishing was bare-bones minimal, as was provision of kitchen equipment. dishwasher was effectively useless

location and spacious

facilities not usable

the location

The view from the balcony was simply great, the mountains and fjord were really impressive. We have been able to see some shy northern lights from the balcony while allowed to easily get warm. The kitchen was very well equipped. The appartement is large and has a very good quality for the price, especially when compared to hotels in Tromso city. If you can rent a car, don't hesitate to do so: Tromso city is nice but the surroundings are way better ! Ersfjordbotn is close to the city but also to great places such as Grotfjord, Tromvik or Hakoya, and in the direction of Sommaroy

The only negative point was the sleeping room: the beds are for one person (even if we can make them close) and not that comfortable, which is surprising compared to the rest of the appartment. There was also no decoration in the rooms

The location and scenic surroundings were picturesque.

The rooms could be more homely, they seemed a bit cold and sterile (no decoration everything was plain white/grey).

The apartment is spacious and the location was great to explore the outskirts of Tromsø and chase northern lights.

The main picture is not accurate. Another building with a bar has been built on the corner and breaks the view of the fjord if you stay at the apartments on the ground floor. We did not have any toiletries for the shower, only hand wash and there was no corkscrew either.

Originally, the accommodation was to serve as a starting point for our journeys beyond the aurora borealis. In the end, we saw a lot of beautiful aurora borealis right next to the accommodation, sometimes even from the balcony of our accommodation. Beautifully equipped, spacious and clean accommodation.

a little away from Tromso but not too far. a bit more secluded but close enough to facilities. BEAUTIFUL!

apartment was a bit simplistic. just had the bare minimum

Large, clean and silent apartment with comfortable beds and a stunning view!

Stunning views! This is an amazing place. We took several cruises in search of the Northern Lights, but the best view by far was the view from this apartment. What a lovely Christmas memory for our family of four. Although we stayed 7 nights, I wish we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend.

Very scenic, quiet and peaceful location with a lovely nearby cafe and waterfall to view.

Public transport is very infrequent so taxis are between €60-€80 each way to Tromso town but we were aware of this before arriving.

beautiful spot, plenty of space in the apartments, sufficient parking, comfy beds. excellent climate control, and the heated floors wow!

our back door lock didn’t work, which is not much of a concern in Norway the shower doors & flooring did not well contain the water, requiring squeegee effort after each shower or getting a towel wet.

The apartment faces the fjord and offers a fantastic view. The rooms are clean with modern furnishings.

There was a boat anchored right in front of our apartment for 2 days, blocking our view. Location wise, the apartment is about 30 mins drive to Tromso city centre.

Its location is perfect for northern lights. I saw it 2 out of my 3 nights in the property in the comfort of my balcony.

space ,view

WiFi

When I compared the hotels in Tromso, and Ersfjordbotn... I said that no way I would stay in the city!!! Such a beautifull place... no words!!!

We loved pretty much everything and the location was amazing

A couple small improvements, we could have used a few more pillows and another mirror somewhere outside the bathroom, as we were a group with 3 women. Also trash can for the kitchen. The only trash can was in the bathroom. These are minor, and the place was otherwise perfect.
