I went to Longyearbyen for activities related to the University. The accommodation is really close to the university entrance and the museum (just a 5–10 minute walk). Moreover, there’s also a bus stop in front of the university with connections to the airport — extremely convenient! The staff are really kind and helpful in every situation. There’s a small grocery (and souvenir) shop that was very useful to me, because since I arrived on Saturday evening, the supermarket in Longyearbyen was closed on Sunday and only open for a few hours in the afternoon. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to be self-sufficient for a few days, and the rooms are very spacious and quiet. If I ever need to return to Longyearbyen, I will definitely stay at this place again.

“Russkiy dom is a simple, functional accodomation with a friendly team.”
The living room with a nice view on parts of the city was big enough to host friends around the table surrounded by twelve chairs. I appreciated your willingness to bring missing kitchen utensils

“Good price. Be prepared to walk!”
It was clean, very like stepping into IKEA. The facilities were good. And a bunkbed is a bunkbed.

Good location, close to the museum, shops, restaurants and harbour. Kind staff (even though I arrived at 1.00 am due to airplane delay). Very spacious room, well equiped kitchen, all very clean. Good value for money! The entrance is at the back of the building and the name of the property is not mentioned on the building. Look for a grey building at the water side with 'visit Spitsbergen', Pyramiden and Barentzburg on it.

“Good value hostel by the fjord.”
A fairly new place by the looks, down by the fjord and snowmobile sales lots! Gorgeous views from the end of the track over the fjord. Enthusiastic and informative staff who run the hotel and also a small shop of Slavic goods in at the back (the front of the building is not the side you'd expect coming from the centre of Longyearbyen!). It's really a hostel not a hotel, but the room was warm, clean and comfortable, the showers and toilets well maintained, and the kitchen area well equipped with a great view over the hills and town. Overall it's a really nice, and very good value, place in a really quite magical part of the world.
