Breakfast was varied, tasty and very fresh. The homemade hummus, although not the real thing by Middle Eastern standards, was a pleasant (and funny) surprise. Rooms are very comfortable and warm as toast. Actually, the whole hotel is. Common areas are very cosy, complete with complementary coffee and tea and everything is spotless clean. The restaurant serves delicious local fare. The whole staff could not be friendlier and more helpful. Kudos to everyone. If reviews of other hotels are to be believed, this is by far the best value for money one can possibly find in Svalbard.

The food on offer in restaurants is incredible. Try something new or stick to an old favourite like fish and chips. Everything is easy to get to all walking distance So many activities to try, Coal Mine 3, ATV tour outside the settlement of town, Northern most brewery visit and tasting. Experience the place for what it is, awesome, incredible and unique place on the planet. Try as much food as you can.

Longyearbyen is unique.

Longyearbyen is unique. It is a small settlement up in the Arctic in a stark but beautiful landscape. It is very different to other places I have visited. We stayed for 4 nights and included a couple of trips on 2 of the 3 full days we spent there. It was a bonus for us that on the third day, 14th August 2025, it happened to be the 100 year anniversary of Norway's sovereignty over Svalbard. The town is very quiet and there are not many bars and restaurants but we were very happy to find the Karlsberger pub and it's sister restaurant opposite. These are 2 establishments which are popular with the local residents and are very lively and friendly with great food and drinks. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is very easy to walk around Longyearbyen with museums and old mines to visit or you can walk down to the shore and see what wildlife turns up.

I liked the variety of shops and restaurant offerings.

I liked the variety of shops and restaurant offerings. Everything was in walking distance from each other. Depending upon your interests there seemed to be many different kinds of activities to do. I did the Mine 3 Tour and the Svalbard Husky Dogs on Wheels activity. Both I thought were unique experiences and worthwhile. The impression that I got was that there is even a lot more to do during the winter months. Enjoyed eating nice meals at Mary-Ann’s Polarrig and Radisson Blue’s restaurants.

One of the most magical places on earth. Be it the summer or the dark season, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. A wide variety of activities offered year around, quite diverse depending on the season.

Longyearbyen is unlike any other place I've been.

Longyearbyen is unlike any other place I've been. I went during polar night, and dark season is an interesting experience when neither the Sun or Moon ever rise. Make sure to visit the museum, the Nordover gallery, and the brewery, and stop for coffee in Café Huskies. The cold is surprisingly manageable as long as you wear the right clothing. Make sure you layer up properly, and bring a good pair of gloves and some warm boots – walking is the easiest way to get around.

Longyearbyen seems to be a magnet for humans who find adventure in loving other humans. Nobody is "From" Longyearbyen. But those who venture there become instant family. Not everyone should even consider visiting. Those who will already know who you are, as you read this. Longyearbyen is not for the faint of heart, nor the shallow of spirit. RD

Stayed here for three nights prior to joining a boat and for 1 after. This is a wonderful quirky hotel and I'm glad I chose it. There is a comfortable sitting room for the use of guests and good connection to their airport. Our first room, which was a twin room was tiny, the room when we returned was much better. On both occasions the rooms were spotless, the beds comfortable the black out blinds were excellent. The breakfast was good, there was plenty of choice.

Just perfect. Beautiful hotel with a cozy atmosphere. Quiet, on a hill, walking distance to shops and attractions. Wonderful breakfast. Lots of little sitting rooms to relax in. Shuttle bus to the airport drops you or picks you up on the hotel door step You are given a moisturizing cream as a gift, which is greatly appreciated considering how dry the air can be in Svalbard

Very tidy and cosy guesthouse. It is located in a residential area, so if you wish to experience what life is like on Svalbard it is a much better choice, than staying in one of the hotels on the main street of Longyearbyen. Elena, the host is always there to help and always has a kind word for everyone. Can't wait to stay there again!
