This hotel was a great place to experience the polar nights. With two restaurants on site, one was not forced to brave the temperatures. That said, it is conveniently located to explore everything Longyearbyen has to offer. The rooms/condition are a little dated. The staff happily connect you with local experiences and businesses.
Amazing and friendly staff. The spa is amazing, I would return to same hotel when i will go back to Svalbard

This is best place that is reasonably good and part of a reputed chain of hotels. Though rooms are a bit dated one can exect comfortable beds and decent toiletries.
Breakfast is standard continental and does have a variety of juices, fresh fruits and breads.
Property does have access to KHO observatory that lets you know about nothern lights and does arrange trips.
In short, this is the go to place in Longyearbyen.
Our stay was great, except for that one day that we didn't get to use the sauna and jacuzzi because it's maintenance day. Breakfast is sumptuous. Customer service is excellent. Staff is very helpful. The lobby looks like it needs some renovation. Place is very close to restaurants, shops and grocery store, walking distance to the water. My husband even briefly saw the Northern Lights one night. Can't wait to come back.
Good location near the upper end of the main walking street. Airport shuttle buses stop on the main street in front of the hotel. Quite amazing to have a nice hotel in such a remote location
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!
Booked months ago with hope to use sauna, but sauna was closed during my stay. Room had good mattress and nice blackout curtains. Small room can use a shelf in the bedroom, and in the bathroom please. Good breakfast buffet & nice dinner.
