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.

Tim

From

Germany

The host is incredible, she is really taking care about her customers. The "shared" bathrooms are clean and you only have to share it with one other room! Plus, there is an additional toilette for the 1sr floor. The living room is very cozy and the kitchen is fully equipped. On top the host always puts some sweets and basics for everyone in the kitchen. I really enjoyed my trip and would highly recommend the Haugen Pensjonat for your trip to Spitzbergen/Svalbard!

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

The room was extremely spacious, with ample heating, very clean and warm, and the kitchen facilities were very comprehensive. The view outside the window was also very nice. Elena was very friendly, provided us with useful advice, and even helped us arrange a taxi to the airport. The apartment was a bit of a distance from the center of Longyearbyen, but it was still convenient to walk, taking just over 10 minutes, as Longyearbyen is quite small to begin with.

The hotel is perfectly located right in the centre of town making it very easy to get everywhere. The bus from the airport also stops right outside on its route. The breakfast was great with a wide spread to cater to all, they were also happy to fetch particular foods or drinks for visitors (I noticed) that weren't otherwise available in the general buffet. The room was very comfortable and spacious. It was a great stay and can't wait to go back again!

The room was perfectly comfortable, the black-out curtains worked really well with the midnight sun. The bathroom had a great shower. Everything was clean. It was so well located - right in the middle of town by all of the town's amenities - and the airport shuttle bus stops right outside the hotel which was ideal to get to and from the airport. There was a decent selection at breakfast, and the kitchen waiters were all so friendly and helpful.
