Love this hotel! Very boutique with wonderful service. You would not expect to find a place like this in a small town like Longyearbyen. We have stayed here many times and each time it has met our expectations. Check out the wine cellar, WOW!

The hotel’s location is excellent, right in the city center. The reception staff is helpful and friendly. Having a coffee machine is a nice touch, and the breakfast is delicious. It’s great that the hotel offers the option to check in for the flight.

FAQs about hotels in Longyearbyen

What guests said about 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. 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.

The hotel is a very special find, it's unique, extremely nicely decorated (in and out), comfortable, and very well located within the city. Staff was great and very friendly, the rooms were comfortable and warm, and the breakfast buffet has everything that you will need to recharge: eggs, waffles, tea, bread, coffee, fruit. The highlight of the hotel is definitely the cozy living room, which you can access via the reception. Grab a cup of coffee, sit by the fire, and relax while waiting for your next Svalbard adventure!

Like many of the buildings in Longyearbyen it is small, quaint in its own way and warm. Ee had a room on the second floor which was small but perfect for our needs. My friend and myself, since we spent most of the time outside. Breakfast was varied but fine. Sausages not much to write home about though. Overall great place. It is a shoeless hotel.

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.

Generally a good place to stay, and it has a cosy atmosphere. It has everything you need, as a hotel; and it has some nice communal relaxing areas as well. The staff is super friendly and helpfull. The breakfast is also really good, and they can even whip something up on order for breakfast (free of charge).
