Staff was excellent - helpful and friendly. Great breakfast and the restaurant was also very nice. Rooms were kind of shabby, like an inexpensive motel. Hot tub was unavailable due to bacteria, which was disappointing.

This is a unique and very special hotel in Longyearbyen. The staff is phenomial especially at the breakfast area and the front desk. Most of the employees were from Argentina and Brazil. They helped my elderly parents in multiple ways to ensure they had a restful stay. Thank you. This hotel is clearly a 10/10 and I'll be back again

First time visitor to Longyearbyen. The hotel is very central. Rooms are not big but corner rooms have two walls of windows! Breakfast buffet is excellent but the coffee…undrinkable. Maybe it’s Norwegian style? Great coffee at the Husky Cafe across the street though!

Great for exploring
The hotel is perfect for exploring. The bar & restaurant are at a very high level. The room didn’t have aircon that we could control in the room, it did get really hot in the evening. Also it was a shame there was no gym but only a minor detail.

Very comfortable hotel choice in Longyearbyen
Extremely helpful, pleasant and friendly staff. Happy to book any & all excursions from the front desk and just generally very welcoming. The location is excellent, near to the museum/harbour, but also at the end of the main street, so easy to get anywhere by foot in a few minutes. All excursions use the hotel as a pick up point as well as the airport bus. Attached to the hotel are a Gastropub & a bit more of an upscale restaurant. Both were excellent, depending on what you're looking for. Breakfast was within this restaurant and was wide ranging and very nice. Lastly, to have a Jacuzzi/Sauna on site is a very nice bonus and to sit out in the Jacuzzi watching the sun go down with the mountains in the background is really fantastic
