A small guesthouse, 4 rooms and living room/kitchen, very clean, rooms with several beds, but accessible as singles. Fully equipped kitchen with anything you might need for your stay. Decent price, close to the city center, near the University, a few minutes walk from the bus station, 10 minutes to the supermarket and the city center. The very kind and friendly staff were there for any need, including suggesting trips or helping us with a taxi. Special thanks to Julia, with whom we tried for two nights to meet Aurora and did not give up until we were successful! I will come back to Longyearbyen with great pleasure and will definitely stay at Ruskiy Dom!

Everything was great. The room is very comfortable (we were happy to have a sink in the room), wonderful and delicious breakfast (free tea and coffee is a nice bonus). Big and clean bathrooms. Would definitely come again!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Our room was small but clean. We booked room for 4 people but was 3. Was ok for us. The bathrooms are enough and clean. The breakfast was rich for hostel. Everyday was the same but you can eat good. The kitchen and hall was common but the hostel is calm. In the window every morning we saw animals.

If coming to Svalbard this is by far the only budget accomodation available. Bearing in mind that it has no real competition, it is still nevertheless a very good hostel. Breakfast pancakes are great, staff are friendly, it is fairly sociable. The rooms are somewhat small, but the kitchen/social area is spacious enough, and in any case if you come to Svalbard for the bedroom then there's really little point.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Staff were so friendly and let me stay in the breakfast room till my taxi arrived. I highly recommend this hostel and will definitely be booking them if I get the chance to visit again. :) Free tea and coffee all day were a plus too!
