The hotel had everything, comfortable rooms, nice balconies, friendly staff, free sauna (+ access to the lake for cold plunges), bar/restaurant that serves meals throughout the day.
Location was very good, as the area is pretty remote you are in a central place to walk around, explore and take pictures.

A very nice and modern room with a fantastic view.
We were looking for a quiet place where we could chase the northern lights avoiding Tromso lights.

If you’re looking for the ultimate cozy and romantic getaway—surrounded by nature and with breathtaking views from every window—this is the place. We were lucky enough to see eagles and even the Northern Lights directly from the house.It’s far enough from civilization to feel like a fairytale escape, yet close enough to hop in the car and explore Tromsø. We stayed as two families with kids and absolutely loved the experience.Being snowed in, sledding in the village, and immersing ourselves in local life was unforgettable. We experienced everything from husky tours and fishing to ice fishing, all thanks to the wonderful people in the village. Host Petter was superhelpful, securing shovel, wood, recommended trips and daily needs. We’re truly grateful for this stay and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a magical Arctic experience.

Very picturesque island, two days is more than enough to explore it. Sunshine is a rarity. End of season mid August. Place for camper vans to park. One shop and one cafe. You can buy only beer in a shop, no alcohol. For a harder spirits you need to travel to Tromso. Bring your food if you can, shops sells very simple and not very good staff. More or less decent meal you can have in an arctic hotel, which is pricey and just ok, no more, choice is limited.

The apartment is a little ways from the main city but the check in lady was kind enough to share some tips on how we can move around to and from the city. The norwegian bus system is pretty accurate in terms of timing and very easy for us foreigners to buy the tickets etc.
However, because the apartment is bit far away, the bus line that takes you around the area will close rather early so you might have to resolve in taking a cab. They are also closed on Sunday and very limited times on Satuday. (Note, this is not the main public bus transport in Tromso but the public bus (that takes you to Tromso...)
The apartment itself is super lovely, we saw the aurora from our place on the day we arrived. The view is just insane with the mountains and the waters, i highly recommend this place and if i ever were to come back here, i'd definitely stay with them again

I enjoyed the amazing views as well as the peaceful environment. The apartment was neat and had everything I needed.
The bus ride into town was a great way to see more of Tromso even though it was 30 minutes each way. I loved it.

Very clean comfy cozy apartment in a mountain setting. Very beautiful area to drive around. Northern lights can be watched from a nearby location. Phillip helped with aurora locations and local attractions. Enjoyed our stay 20 min away from city center and around fjords.
Hit the road and make the most of your trip by discovering another popular destination within Norway.
