Excellent place to stay in the Arctic! The perfect cozy climate inside, complimentary tea & coffee which helps you to warm yourself after roaming in the city and surroudings. One of the guys from the personnel even advised us when seeing some extraordinary polar lights to come out - and we've got a show of our life. Neat clean bathrooms, very comfortable beds, excellent breakfast. The hotel itself is close to some attractions and the city center. Would definitely recommend! The restaurant Vinterhagen is an additional gem - I enjoyed the seal steak and my wife the vegan option. Should I come back to Longyearbyen - I would definitely choose Mary-Ann Polarrig again :) Keep doing good job!

Everything was awesome. The team at Basecamp treated was so kindly we felt like at home after 1st moment. The chef turned me from a tost fan to a Eggs Benedict fan. I will miss every moment from the time we walked into the reception until our pick-up back to the airport. Thank you all for such a great experience.

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.

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.

FAQs about hotels in Longyearbyen

Svalbard is unique and probably not for everyone.

Svalbard is unique and probably not for everyone. If you want adventure where not much people go, and where everything seems from another planet, this is the place to be. You will either get 24/7 daylight or complete darkness in this place. Getting essentials is not as trivial as in the mainland. Wildlife is in a different level (yes there are polar bears roaming the island). Ice caves and glaciers all around. It all adds up to an unforgetable experience and not many people dare to live.

Longyearbyen for me is characterised by hospitality and warmth which is exactly what you need in the harsh beauty of the arctic circle. Arriving in November meant we said goodbye to any daylight but the magic of the northern lights more than made up for this and we were fortunate to see them.

The food on offer in restaurants is incredible.

The food on offer in restaurants is incredible. Try something new or stick to an old favourite like fish and chips. Everything is easy to get to all walking distance So many activities to try, Coal Mine 3, ATV tour outside the settlement of town, Northern most brewery visit and tasting. Experience the place for what it is, awesome, incredible and unique place on the planet. Try as much food as you can.

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.

Before my trip I had many questions and the hotel response all of them. Also the helpful staff perfectly organized for the airport shuttle service and the local activities. Location is great, in the middle of downtown and uptown. Junior Suites are located in the annex and is not accessible via the main building but it is just 10-20 meters distance and the annex is really quite. Lastly, special thanks to Camila, she was very helpful. I'll definetely stay here in my next visit!

The best accommodation in Longyearbyen imaginable! Not just a hotel but many other facilities including a huge "living room", game room, restaurant, etc. A complex of several buildings set aside from the city center yet very close to it (there is a bridge shortcut to the town). We stayed there during the polar night and we enjoyed the setting with Christmas trees in the yard. Very nice breakfasts and a superb restaurant.

Spacious and comfortable room, washroom/WC shared by two rooms only, so that's good and cleanliness is ensured. Well equipped kitchen, lounge to chill out. It feels truly like a home away from home. Walking distance (1km) to town and the airport bus stops just across the road at Funken Lodge. Definitely a gem and i highly recommend this place.
