The breakfast was amazing, the communal areas are really cosy and there are plenty of bathrooms to share. There were also really nice toiletries. The actual rooms are extremely simple though but the bed was super comfy and that was the only time I spent in the room (sleeping), so I would probably stay here again.

Wonderful introduction to Svalbard. The restaurant was very good with Arctic fare on the menu, in a lovely setting. We saw our first Arctic fox whilst having breakfast. The staff were brilliant with a special shout out to the girl from Namibia on reception- so sorry I can’t remember your name, but it was lovely to meet you!

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.

Really pleased with our stay here. Staff were helpful in allowing us to store our luggage whilst we wandered around the settlement before checking in properly. Single room was spacious enough with bed, wardrobe, desk, chair and mirror and decent floor space. The shared bathrooms are kept clean, one of them even had a full bathtub if you fancy a long soak. The restaurant does a good variety for breakfast with both hot and cold food and drink. We dined in the restaurant one evening and can highly recommend the food here. The windows have blackout blinds if you are stayed during the summer, though some light does still creep in and a sleep mask is recommended if you would struggle to sleep when it’s not dark. Overall, I’m glad we chose this hotel as it felt a lot more authentic and in keeping with the rest of Longyearbyen.
