Northern living 1 room with shared bathroom

Forty minutes by car from Tromsø city centre along the Stakkevollvegen waterfront, this single guest room occupies a residential property rated 9.5 across 176 reviews — an unusually high score for shared-bathroom accommodation.

The setup suits self-sufficient travellers: a full shared kitchen with oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator means no dependence on restaurants during the long Arctic winter nights. A shared lounge and dining area give social space without sacrificing privacy in the room itself. Slippers and a hairdryer are provided; private check-in removes the need to coordinate arrival times.

Stakkevollvegen runs along the northeastern shore of Tromsøya island, away from the tourist cluster near the Arctic Cathedral. Parking is available on site — useful for day trips toward Senja or the Lyngen Alps.
