Great location.

The room was large with a good view. Location to town great, but not hard to better this as Longyearbyen is that huge. A great place to stay while waiting to join our team on the ship at the local port.

Convinient location

Location of this hotel is great. We had a booking including breakfast, which offered a nice selection including fresh fruits. The staff was excellent, always smiling and ready to help. We did not get a chance to use the wellness and have a dinner (as it was fully booked). We had our dinners in a pub, which is next to the reception and it was good. Nice views.

Great choice of stay

Amongst the nice hotels available in town. The services were all good despite being in isolated location. Couldnt forget a very nice gesture from the waitress at the restoran, i ackknowledge her effort (i could hear from where i was sitting) that she reconfirm the food met my dietary restrictions before passing my order to the kitchen.

Spectacular views and a warm welcome to the arctic! We loved our stay!

The best hotel we have stayed in, the spectacular location helps but also the warm and welcoming service from all the staff, the fantastic restaurant and pub which we ate at many times during our stay, the jacuzzi’s, the atmosphere - really everything! This was our honeymoon trip and it truly was amazing! Already planning a return trip!
