Gjestehuset 102 offers accommodation in Longyearbyen. Guests at this small hostel can buy snacks and drinks. Explore the town centre which is located about 2.5 km away.

The basic rooms have shared bathrooms facilities and guests have access to a shared kitchen with a fridge on the second floor. We are very happy with everything at this accommodation—the friendly staff, the kitchen and bathroom, the breakfast, and the travel advice. They make the best waffles in the world! We saw walruses from only about 3 meters away, as well as seals, belugas, puffins, and even a polar bear from a distance! And, of course, the most beautiful snow-covered mountains and sea views!

This hotel offers budget accommodation on the Arctic Ocean island of Svalbard. Communal facilities include a kitchen and TV lounge. Snowmobile safaris, dog sledding and glacier walks can be arranged.

At Coal Miners’ Cabins, guest accommodations are located in annex buildings. Each have access to shared bathrooms, kitchen, laundry facilities and a common living room. All rooms feature a mountain view We liked everything. The location was great - further away from the town and a crowd (sometimes really a lot coming from the cruise ships!). The walk to the shop was fine and we felt safe (at least in summer and 24h sun season :D), 15-20 min. The room is small, but all you need. The beds and mattresses were especially comfortable! Shared bathrooms are clean, and we never had to wait. Breakfast was super delicious - great choice and sufficient. Loved to have a free tea and coffee 24/7. Our dinners we had mostly in this hotel too - can only recommend: extremely delicious foods. The most famous Coal Miners burgers - must try. Wonderful stay overall, will definitely come again!
