Room was nice and clean apart from it appears the toilet was missed from the previous guest. The views were lovely over the town and mountains south of Longyearbyen. Staff were always lovely and happy to help with a smile. Great amenities and spaces

Pros: restaurant & pub at hotel are pretty good, included breakfast was nice, comfortable bed Cons: pullout sofa was visibly stained, hotel is a bit on the worn-out side, hot tub/sauna is an additional fee & needs to be reserved in advance.

4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Just wow; looks can be deceiving from the outside but don’t be fooled. Reception is amazing, the staff are amazing, the giant (stuffed) polar bear amazing (don’t expect to see a real one, then you won’t be disappointed). Longyearbean generally feels a little like you’ve dropped into a 1970’s film set but the people are amazing; the food too die for. Particularly enjoyed Nansen restaurant (at the hotel) for the quality and choice of food and the service from staff. Barents Bar is great too - a proper pub feel with a proper English bar maid. The rooms are basic, but clean, warm and functional. Hard to beleive your a spit from the North Pole. Breakfast is good; great choice and good service. Reception, nothing too much trouble. An awesome stay at the top of the world. Definitely a 5 star review, if ever there was.
