Fantastic, quirky, friendly! The meal at the restaurant was the best I had in Longyearbyen and also in recent memory (try the whale steak!). Wonderful breakfast spread, comfy waiting area / common room. Highly recommendable.

Fabulous atmosphere at this hotel - it is as though you are one of a science team or early explorers - however these modular type bedrooms have no sound protection and the black out drapes were not sufficient! But the restaurant was delightful with exquisite food - just make to book a reservation early!!

Amazing Hotel, great and friendly stuff that do everything to make you feel at home. The Restaurant is also amazing. The wohle Interiors and common areas are so great. The only Small Negative Point are the Room Doors. You can hear every Single door opening. Anyway a Minor Point in this Great Place. Hope to Go there again…

A great stay and very unique in style not something you find in many Hotels. The reception is very helpful especially Storm who understood my needs and very caring.The one thing I didn’t like was the creaky floor boards particularly the corridors outside rooms at night it can be noisy. Highly recommended!

Nice place with lots of history from the area and great plants.
Would be a nice touch if they could add a wind break stand for guests to wait for the airport bus.

Great place!!
I stayed for 4 nights & loved every moment here. The single rooms are just the right size & there are enough communal bathrooms to go around. The breakfast is enough to get you through to till & the evening restaurant is really great!
