Thank you Anastasia and the rest of the helpful staff! Available constantly and helped with my 10000 questions. Super clean and comfortable. I don't like sharing bathrooms but they are kept clean and my room was near a "luxurious" one. Everything you need is in the common areas, which makes you feel more connected to others. Restaurant and service AMAZING. I loved the reindeer steak. Breakfast included= needed and fantastic way to start your day in the arctic.

Nice and quirky place which felt like an arctic museum. Good breakfast, great wifi, friendly staff, close to walk into town, airport shuttle picks up and drops off in front of hotel, clean & safe. Highly recommend this place and especially if on a budget.

This type of property isn’t for everyone. But for the type of people who seek a unique style of accommodation, this property is for you. The staff, the ones I interacted with, were very friendly and helpful. The room I selected was exactly what I needed. No luxuries just the minimum for what I needed. I would return to this property again and will suggest it to anyone I know wishing to travel to Longyearbyen. Thank you for an amazing trip of a lifetime.

Buffet breakfast is excellent and one can load up and skip lunch. However, they have lunch specials which are also worthwhile . The best vegetarian lasagna I have ever had, any where. And the restaurant itself is charming, full of plants and friendly atmosphere.

Good value - Great Longyearbyen Experience

I love Mary Ann's Polarrig in Longyearbyen. I had one of the best salmon dinners I have ever had last night. And I have had quite a few good ones around the Arctic. They have updated a few of the bathrooms since I was here before.

Fabulous atmosphere at this hotel - it is as though you are one of a science team or early explorers - however these modular type bedrooms have no sound protection and the black out drapes were not sufficient! But the restaurant was delightful with exquisite food - just make to book a reservation early!!
