A Great Place to Chill

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.

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.

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.
