3 friends to Svalbard

Room size exceeded our expectations. Spacious and clean/fresh. Breakfast was good. Internet worked flawlessly. Fun to stay in a building with the heritage from the coal mining days. Improvement opportunities would be: More hot water for more than 1 or 2 people to shower in the morning, lock on toilet room door would also be a nice feature. For the same type trip I would certainly consider same again. Stayed three fault friends for 4 nights.

I love it here. The people are amazing that work here the food is excellent. It is very cozy. The beds are very comfortable. You have to be able to walk center of town is about 4 km about away you have to be able to take a taxi or they do have a van but it’s very hard to get it any time of day I would definitely come back here. It’s absolutely breathtaking and very pleasant to be here. This place is very clean. This hotel was very clean. And the rooms are big The views are breathtaking!!

Friendly staff who were ready to help and answer questions. It would have been nice to have been offered help with luggage as there is no lift but a kind man who was cleaning helped me when checking out. Several cabins present - some a bit far from the reception but luckily mine was close. Dinner options are decent. The view and surrounding environment are nice and peaceful, but the walk to the town is definetely longer than the advertised 20 minutes, however it can be a nice walk. I don't mind sharing toilets, but it's difficult to control toilet floors being wet when multiple people are using it, which is a bit annoying. The shower curtain for some of the toilets could have been cleaner. Room was clean and bed really comfortable.

Just like being a coal miner. Rooms are old and rustic with plumbing visible and well worn furnishings. Breakfast is good. Location is well away from local attractions with very limited local transportation.

Fint hostel, men noe lytt til rommene.

Dette er jo ikke noe hotell, og er 1/4 av prisen til noen av hotellene i sentrum. Rommet er rent og pent, og dusj og do i gangen fungerer helt fint. Man hører alle som går forbi, men jeg sover alltid med øreplugger på hostels av denne grunn. Frokosten er som forventet angående innhold. Men det var ingen som ryddet bord og ryddet i frokosten, så dette så noe rotete ut! Dette kunne de enkelt ha ordnet med at noen fulgte med under frokost. Med tanke på prisen er jeg fornøyd, og bor her gjerne igjen.

Väldigt bra

Väldigt dyrt, men på Svalbard väldigt billigt. Jag tycker överlag att det var väldigt bra. Frukosten är underbar, man kan också göra mellanmål inför sin dag.

We were pleasantly surprised. Spacious rooms, only waited for the bathroom once in the 4 nights we stayed. The staff were very nice and helpful. The common area/bar/restaurant area was very comfortable. Roughly a 2.5 km walk into town. We would definitely stay here again
