L'hotel è in una posizione invidiabile per poter accedere a piedi al centro della città. Noi abbiamo avuto delle stanze con bagno privato e questo è un lusso in Norvegia per gli alberghi di fascia media. Buona la pulizia…

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.

- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about First Hotel Backpack
What time is check-in and check-out at First Hotel Backpack?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does First Hotel Backpack allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at First Hotel Backpack?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does First Hotel Backpack have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does First Hotel Backpack have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book First Hotel Backpack?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
