Northstay - The Urban Cityscape, Central & Modern, Sleeps 5

We got an upgrade from the host to new apartment due to The Urban Cityscape need to be urgently maintenance, and the new place is super good in the best location. Thank to Nil.

the bed is too soft

Ubicación excelente, espacioso confortable. Camas cómodas. El anfitrión es atento

Todo perfecto

Gute zentrale lage, sehr sauber und schön warm. Kann es empfehlen

Comfortable and clean apartment, with all the utilities we needed. Good location, walking distance from the center.

客廳餐廳空間大，有很多廚具 離市中心走路約10分鐘，在Tromso大橋旁邊，最近的joker走路約5分鐘

沒有烘衣機。淋浴間排水被頭髮堵住了，是我們自己挖排水管清理才洩水。

The location was convenient and there were English channels on the television. That’s a great iron! The dishwasher was complicated to start but it was good to have it and the washing machine was welcome.

The broken shower door was a shame and caused the shower to leak. The shower drain is clearly blocked and needs resolving. The cupboard in the bathroom is also broken. The property could have been much cleaner. There was rubbish and dust behind the bedside table in one bedroom and dust under the beds. The toaster was full of burnt breadcrumbs and underneath three microwave was sticky and filthy. Superficially it looks clean but sadly when things are moved its clear it’s not. The oven extractor hood isn’t connected to anything and therefore doesn’t work at all. There are lights in the lounge not working. There are a couple of broken drawers in the entrance hall, so be careful when opening. Rubbish is complicated in Tromso and there were no instructions provided when we arrived. The windows need washing. Just be careful with parking as it’s very expensive to park so pick your location carefully.

Great location for bus stop, trips, bridge and shops. Lovely large apartment with plenty of space. It was very warm inside even though the weather was cool outside.

Bedrooms were a bit small for a large apartment. Very confusing recycling arrangements. Not owner's fault but the 4 days we were there outside was getting painted with scaffolding up - reduced privacy and also reduced visibility as they put up green netting too. A little more information about finding the passage to the door would be good.

It was close to all activities

The locatiom is perfect. 5 minutes far away from Storgata. It would be nice to have some instructions about parking: meaning of the signals, and so on…. It helps to organize. This issue can add value to the local information for the arrival.

We loved this modern apartment just a short walk from Tromsø centre. The kitchen-diner-lounge space was very welcoming and the view from the windows of the mountains is terrific! The bedrooms, while on the small side, were big enough and comfortable. As mentioned, Tromsø centre can be reached on foot in less than 10 minutes (even in snowy/icy weather) and there are plenty of amenities (supermarkets, cafés, restaurants etc) close by. We also were able to reach the harbour front within a few minutes and saw the Northern Lights without leaving the city! Overall good value-for-money, though a few minor improvements would really push this apartment into a ‘superb’ rating: we initially did not have enough towels but the hosts were very quick to rectify this so not a major issue. We also found that certain aspects of the home had perhaps been missed during cleaning (e.g, lots of dust under beds and sofas) and the shower tray blocked very easily to the point of almost overflowing which caused some concern! Addressing these small issues would definitely improve our overall score, but we would be happy to stay again regardless! Recommend for small groups staying in Tromsø who would like the benefits of an apartment over a hotel 🙂

Location is good. Walking distance about 15 minutes to city centre. Bus stop is about 300 m away.

Cosy and clean apartment. Host is very responsive. Walking distance, about 10-15mins walk to city centre and meeting points of our day tours. It was a great stay!

Not sure if I’m reviewing the property we booked or the property we were given - supplier cancelled with a days notice and Gave us an alternative. The new apartment was clean and well equipped- only bad thing was it was on the 8th floor and one of the group was terrified of heights.

Supplier cancelled with 24 hours notice and we were already travelling.

We stayed in a different property, but it was really good. We were super comfy, it was super well equipped. We felt in home.

The shower lost a lot of water and the bathroom floor was always wet. Besides that, everything was excellent!

Location at the center, clean & comfy

Nothing

We were informed to change the place just few hours before we departure, it didnt leave any time for us to re-consider if we will take this place or not, we consider this as a very typical "Dishonest" attitude. At the end it turned out the place is quite far from the city where we originally ordered. Since it's Winter, public transportation in Tromso is not easy, you always need to ask for TAXI wihch took additional at least, at least 10-15mins waiting time plus 7-8 mins driving time, it cost us 1.5hours more wasted on the road. The cost is also not cheap, each time it costs us 15-18usd, everyday it can easily go up to 60-100usd additional cost for nothing. the Internet in the place quite shaky, though I realized the wifi meshing, but the speed is often below 1Mbps or sometimes nothing, I never had such worse experience in my whole life even in a developing country.

Renovated apartment with large living area

There is no bin in the bathroom. No oven gloves nor kitchen paper. Tiny bedrooms with no wardrobes.

It is very clean. It has Netflix which is very important.

There are no heaters in the bedrooms so the rooms are extremely cold. When asked, we were told that the heat from the living room will slowly spread into the rooms which didn't happen. What bothered me the most was the terms and conditions. We were asked to even clean the dishwasher. I am surprised that they didn't ask us to wash the toilet and towels. We are here for a holiday and not to be maids!!! Another thing that bothered me was the focus on money. Our flight was 3pm so we asked for an extension till 1pm. But we were refused if we don't pay for the extension. In conclusion, I am put off by Airbnb standard in Tromso. I felt that as guests,our needs were not taken care of.

A wonderfull place for staying in Tromso!

The only thing we missed have been blackout curtains in the bedrooms.

The building is not new, but don't let that fool you, the apartment itself is recently renovated, well equipped and spacious. Also the location is great, only a short walking distance from the main walking street with plenty of shops and restaurants. Really good value for the money.

The location was amazing since it was so close to the city centre and main tourist attractions. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed and was very comfortable too!

I think the stay would have been even better if there were some kitchen essentials like sugar or salt, since these come in pretty huge quantities when you buy them from the store. But otherwise, a wonderful stay!

Comfortable, stylish, and well-appointed. Plenty of room for our family of 4. Responsive hosts. Easy walkability to downtown area. Wonderful choice and we’d happily stay here again!

Outside of building looks simple and no window view to speak of, but the inside is great!

Nice and clean apartment. Great location and kind host.

Very good and modern accommodation. Comfortable beds and nice central location. Communication with the host was quick and easy.

Nothing

Very modern. The appliances are great. The beds are very comfy. Great experience, would recommend.

Everything was amazing, very pleased.

Me and my family had an amazing stay! Fast and easy check-in, perfect location, high standard apartment with space for me and my family! The sleeping-couch in the living room gave us extra sleeping opportunities. Definitely staying here the next time I visit Tromsø!

I had everything I needed to have a cozy night in this stylish and modern apartment, but had the opportunity to check out the many nicer restaurants and city center, due to the very central location. I feel that I got a lot of my money and would most definitely stay here again when I visit Tromsø.

We had a great stay in Tromsø. The apartment had excellent location in the city center. Lots of attraction in walking distance. It was also well equipped with everything you need. It was terrific !

Easy access from the centre of Tromsø. Host had everthing prepared for our arrival and was available on short notice if we had to reach out. Very clean and modern appartment with comforable beds and nice bathroom. We went out for dinner so we didn't do any cooking there, but all applianced and tools were at our disposal. Short 5 minute walk to all resturants and shopping centre.

The location was perfect; in the heart of the city with everthing within walking distance! Booking this apartment again when visiting Tromsø!
