The trip to Svalbard was wonderful experience and the hostel and its team were big part of it. They all went extra mile to help and advise even before my arrival to Svalbard. Hostel was clean, cosy, had everything what one may need, including fully equipped kitchen. The breakfast was just perfect, something for everyone. I personally loved the location, away from town centre and busy area. The walk took around 20 min but you were surrounded with beautiful nature, great views and wildlife. What else should you want? Thank you for making my stay memorable. I would stay again! Xx

Nothing to dislike. 😊

Great and friendly vibe Comfortable room and bed; everything is very clean; good showers Very good and relaxed breakfast Opportunity to book tours

Not a negative but something to note - it’s 35-40 min walk into town; not a huge problem though.

The Vibe of this place is awesome. The staff are super cool, polite, caring helpful- Angie and the rest team have a bright smile on their face and they are well dressed too. The kitchen has almost everything and the living room too is comfy and nice. The breakfast is good compared to the price we are paying- can’t expect champagne on a beer budget😀 The bathrooms, toilets and the rooms and bedsheets and duvets are super clean- cheers and kisses to the house keeping staff👏🏻👏🏻 The property is a very cool place, spend sometime knowing about it. The picture frames are very precious and they must be seen and read. You will be happy that you witnessed some history by staying here. Huset is a restaurant nearby its close to be a Michellin star and it’s classy and yes expensive BUT on Saturday’s they have a damm cheap lunch/ dinner for only 210 Nkrone. Its their kindness and gratitude of giving back. Go hungry and enjoy the delicious steak with unlimited side dishes. The property is at the end of city so it’s a nice location to see the Northern lights- just peek from all the windows ( front, back, and both sides) and if you see them bundle up and go out in Groups. The city centre is a 2.5 km walk one way, it’s a nice exercise but go in groups. Polar bears have not been seen in city BUT Never say Never- Caution is better The most awesome thing about this place is the Guests- travellers from different corners of the world, talking to them and also sharing your stories is such a lovely interaction. The tips and experiences you hear and get are invaluable and yes you will make some great life long friends. Keep wandering and spread your smiles.

As i said, The city centre is a 2.5 km walk one way, it’s a nice exercise but go in groups. If you are tired, it’s better hire a taxi. Polar bears have not been seen in city BUT Never say Never- Caution is better. The taxis are a bit expensive and the thing I did not like is some drivers try charging per person. The taxi is hired by me so I have right to take as many passengers that can sit legally in that taxi. Someone must let the Governor know about this, so that it does not spoil the tourism. Also, The Northern lights tour must be second day free if the tour does not see N. lights on their first day- this is the normal in Iceland

i loved the staff, all very friendly and informative. the included breakfast contained waffles, toast and hot/cold beverages that I enjoyed each day. the showers are potentially the best showers in any hostel I've been to, being very spacious with hot water needed in such a cold landscape. lastly I liked the lounge. they had 2, and each had a very comfortable sofa with soft pillows and a TV you could stream shows with. Had amazing time talking to fellow travellers!

The bed felt a bit sturdy and the pillows were a bit too soft. The distance to town is roughly 35min walking.

Everything! This guesthouse offers clean rooms with fine beds, very clean bathrooms, all day long. The breakfast prepared every morning is great too, there is free coffee and tea all day long but most important and great about this location is the staff, from the cleaning staff till the receptionists, every single one of them is nice. They will serve you in the best possible way, with a smile and really care for your needs. If you're staying there during cold winters, their smiles will make you feel welcome in a warm home. Be really nice to them! :) There is a direct bus from and to the airport from the guesthouse connected to your flight times. It is a small scenic walk from the city center but most activities will be tours and all of them pick you up at the guesthouse, after you enjoyed breakfast with a view. If you are really lazy, the tourist information offers free bicycles in the city center. And thank you Chris to share an eternal treasure with me!

There is nothing negative to say about this entire experience, we should all feel lucky that we have been welcomed by such a warm, friendly place!

It was a cozy stay, everything was clean and even sharing bathrooms didn't create any issues- we didn't need to wait in a queue and everything was clean. The view from the room was great- straight to the mountains, we loved waffles for breakfast and it was great to have access to common kitchen as well.

It was not a big issue for us, since we like walking, but it is more remote from the town center, so requires some walking back and forward to the town. Otherwise all tours were picking up us from the guest house and dropping back.

Very clean hostel, showers and bathrooms very clean. Comfortable beds and nice breakfast. Location is not in center of Longyearbyen but walkable distance, which is very good anyway to walk more and see more of nature of Svalbard. Staff is super nice and welcoming, they gave me very good advice for tours on Svalbard and helped me to book it. If you come from airport with airport bus Flybussen, this is exactly last stop of it, same on day of departure bus to the airport starts right outside this hotel. Very very convenient! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

If coming to Svalbard this is by far the only budget accomodation available. Bearing in mind that it has no real competition, it is still nevertheless a very good hostel. Breakfast pancakes are great, staff are friendly, it is fairly sociable. The rooms are somewhat small, but the kitchen/social area is spacious enough, and in any case if you come to Svalbard for the bedroom then there's really little point.

Location is somewhat out of town, however it isn't a real inconvenience. The store is around a 20 minute walk away. There's also more wildlife due to being further out, I spotted several reindeer just outside the hostel.

Great breakfast and 24h hot beverages available. Lots of space in the hallway.

The hotel is really nice, clean and warm. Lots of windows so you can sew the planes taking off and the green nature outside. The place is very quiet, the windows and the walls are cancelling the noise. I really enjoyed our stay. The only minus is that there is a doorstep in the hallway leading to the elevator and it is quite dangerous.

Wonderful hostel, super clean and comfortable. Lovely common room. Temperature can be regulated in room. Good breakfast. Good wifi. Great value for money. Nice food and bar restaurant across the street.

A little far from center, at least 25min walk, quite difficult with the cold weather :). But I didn't mind, all the tours pick you up right in front, incl to and from airport bus. No possibility of a room with private bathroom, but the shared facilities are clean and I had a private sink in my room for brushing teeth and drinking water.
