Everything from the location to the staff - especially Manon at the restaurant - to the cleanliness, to the beauty of the suite with excellent view, the warming tee and coffee and the professionalism of the staff. The fireplace at the reception was a delightful.

Amazing place! The staff were incredible and super friendly. Nothing was too difficult for them and always smiling. They checked in with us every time we passed through the lobby. Their northern lights alert is perfect and they help you locate darker areas of town to be able to get a better view. The pub attached is delicious and reasonable priced. Stayed in the junior suite which is in the seperate building and was a great location with a view over the town.

The hotel location is in the city center walking distance to almost everything , it's a major plus for us. The breakfast was good. The room and bed was comfortable. They gave us a sandwich in the last day coz our flight is too early and therefore can't avail the breakfast, that was very thoughtful. I'd love to stay here again next time we visit svalbard.

We were very warmly welcomed, the hotel owner was very sweet and helpful. She helped us to understand how the town works, suggested some restaurants and other shops.The kitchen was full of the necessary food and some tasty homemade desserts were prepared for all the guests to share! The hotel also felt like a home and not like a chain hotel, the owner takes very good care of the faculties, it's a nice cozy place to stay and enjoy the city. Highly recommend!

FAQs about hotels in Longyearbyen

    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

    For both the natural history as well as lesson on the current situation of how global warming is impacting our planet, this is a perfect town to come and visit. The scenery and the geographical isolation makes it incredibly educational and joy to experience, and the scientific value of this community, including the global seat fault just south of the airport, as another value to a trip here. We particularly enjoyed our hotel, and the friendliness and responsiveness of the staff. The people here are incredibly friendly.

    This is actually the place I always wanted to stay when I'm in Svalbard. Everything was perfect, warm and cozy room with a cool view from the window. Walking distance from the center of Longyearbyen, which was quite refreshing and invigorating. Cool attitude from the people at the reception and good food for breakfast and dinner. Fair price, quality - I recommend! And bonus, if you are lucky enough to have the Northern Lights you are a few steps away in a relatively dark area where you can see them well!

    The place is cosy, nicely arranged, extremely clean and run by Elena in a really exeptional way. Perfect for people who want to have some privacy, yet to be close to others. The shared kitchen is spacious and very well equipped, every room has its own small fridge in this common area. The hotel is situated around 15 minutes walk from Longyearbyen centre, close to a bus stop.

    A quiet place to relax and enjoy your stay. The standard room is big and comfortable, warm with heavy curtains to block the sunlight. The staff were very kind and helpful with whatever we needed. The breakfast had a large variety of goodies and the place itself has a stunning view and a cozy feeling. The Nansen restaurant inside the hotel serves delicious food.
