In the heart of Longyearbien
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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
