• DI (10/5): Amazing views and friendly atmosphere! I even saw reindeers from our room window! -

• Kristýna (8/5): Při další potřebě ubytování se jistě vrátím!🙂 - Moc milý a usměvavý veškerý personál, klidná poloha na konci města chůzí asi 25 minut, přístup k čaji a kávě po celý den zdarma, nezapomenout papuče sebou!, pěkný výhled, vybavená kuchyň Na posteli jsem měla extrémně proleženou matraci, ale chápu že dopravit nové matrace do této lokality není nejjednodušší :)
• Esther (8/5): Cozy stay in Svalbard! - The cleanliness of the common areas like the bathroom is something to be highlighted. The heating worked flawless and it was really good to have a basin and a mirror on each room. I liked that at the reception you can get drinks and snacks for reasonable prices. Some people did not respect very well the quiet times while being at the living room, as they were drinking and talking loud. The location of the hotel can be a bit too far away, specially for those who are not used to walk a lot.
• Sian (8/5): -
• Geoff (10/5): Best place stayed in Norway. Great value for money - Relaxing atmosphere, lovely bathrooms, friendly and helpful staff . Breakfast was superb NA
• Miłosz (10/5): - Świetny budżetowy hostel z wesołą obsługą. W cenie pyszne śniadanie. Do dyspozycji gości całą dobę kuchnia. Polecam
• Julia (10/5): Highly recommend! - A truly amazing and cozy place. Beds are extremely comfortable. There's a lot of bathrooms, so many people can use them at the same time. It's relatively far from the city centre, but thanks to that it's quieter and you can observe arctic foxes in the area. Beautiful views from basically every window. The breakfasts are tasty, the waffles and orange marmalade were particularly great. The staff is sweet and very helpful. Rooms are small, but clean and I had no problem storing my stuff. I would love to come back in the future.
• eryk (10/5): -
• Eva (10/5): - Excellent place to stay. Spotlessly clean, hot chocolate was available at all times, and the breakfast was excellent. The beds were a bit soft, but nothing that caused any real discomfort.

• Sverre Magnus (10/5): Warmest hotel hostesses I can remember in a long time made this weeknd unforgettable! - What we expected - and very friendly service!
• Yves (9/5): Etablissement efficace pour rester en transit situe a 2km du centre - Chambre propre et douche commune impeccable. Personnel au petit soin Nothing except the situation at 40 mon walk from the center
• Caroline (10/5): -
• Francesca (10/5): - L'accoglienza dello staff e tutti i servizi. La colazione inclusa è un plus non indifferente Niente
• Aleksander (10/5): Sympatyczny hotelik w spokojnej okolicy Longyearbyen - Sympatyczny holelik/ pensjonat dla gości, którzy nie szukają luksusu ale swobodnej i miłej atmosfery. Części wspólne gdzie możesz odpocząć, coś zjeść, obejrzeć telewizję lub porozmawiać ze znajomymi. Czysto. Pokoje malutkie i skromnie urządzone, ale funkcjonalne i przytulne. Fajna, międzynarodowa atmosfera. Wspólna kuchnia z pełnym wyposażeniem (lodówki, czajnik, naczynia, mikrofalówka itd.), wspólne łazienki (czyste i zadbane). Śniadania wystarczające. Do dyspozycji gości kawa, herbata, czekolada przez cały dzień. Miły personel. Trochę daleko od centrum ok. 2,5 km
• Tomislav (10/5): - Kind and helpful staff, always in a good mood and ready to assist and easy to agree with. Location is 15 min walk from the central part, everything is very clean, kitchen is well equipped and the common living room really feels like home. Highly recommended!
• Sara Serpico (8/5): -
• Benedicte Åberg (8/5): All you need! Simple and clean! - Nice, simple and clean room. Firm beds. Shared areas could be better.
• Vitaliia (10/5): - It was really pleasant staying.Very clean,the breakfast was great and tasty and the staff were so attentive and helpful.I’d like to come back one day and feel that “home vibes” again.
• Silje (9/5): Koselig sted i utkanten av byen. Hyggelige folk. - Fint og hjemmekoselig. Kjekt med eget kjøkken der vi kunne lage vår egen mat. Vi fikk god hjelp til å planlegge og booke aktiviteter og guidet tur.
• Ewa (8/5): -
• Chiosso (9/5): - Molto accogliente Un po' distante dal centro villaggio
• Chiosso (9/5): - Accoglienza perfetta
• Georgina (10/5): -
• TECHIN (7/5): - 離市中心有點距離.但價格已經是島上算便宜的.來到斯瓦爾巴其實要有心理準備.住宿選擇不多.就很貴.普通貴.這樣
• ruban (9/5): - Staff were nice, everything was clean and organised. Only price was high, but considering location it can be justified. They should keep a kettle in the dining room instead of thermos. Most of the time water isn't hot enough for an instant noodle or sometimes tea.
• Nicholas (8/5): - The views from the hotel room are excellent, and the staff are very helpful. Not much sound insulation, but it’s understandable considering the building’s history
• gael (9/5): -
• ALBERTO (7/5): -
• Alejandro (10/5): Me han hecho sentir como si estuviera en mi hogar - TODO!! El personal super amable, el desayuno increíble y las habitaciones muy amplias y reconfortantes. Destacar también la zona común, la cocina y el colchón de la habitación que era muy cómodo. Sin duda, si vuelvo a Svalbard me volveré a alojar en este increíble alojamiento. Nada. Todo ha sido una maravilla
• Altola (10/5): - I'll be back
• 耿 (9/5): - 早餐非常好，超出预期，三文鱼 奶酪不限量供应 地点略远，不过路上也可以欣赏风景
• Maidek (10/5): - My room is the best room to see arctic fox. They visit every single day and I have bunch of good photo of them
• ZITONG (7/5): -
• valery (10/5): Un petit coin de paradis au bout du monde 🌎 - J’ai tout de suite aimé cette petite structure, au fin fond du village !..La localisation est géniale, direct au centre de la nature si belle et changeante…C’est chaleureux, confortable et friendly !!!..La cuisine est propice aux grandes tablées et c’est génial , avec une vue directe sur les fjords…C’est calme, propre, le petit déjeuner est fantastique avec les crêpes qui vous attendent chaque matin…À l’odeur vous savez qu’il est temps d’y aller…🥞..Enfin le staff est très accueillant et vous aide si besoin pour les excursions..Tout est très facile ici…Nothing Is impossible…Alors, Ouvrez grand vos yeux et vos oreilles, vous allez en prendre plein la vue…et oubliez tout le reste…C’est juste époustouflant !!!…un bonjour à Angie, je te dis à très bientôt….💓❤️ Ras..
• Ries (8/5): - I like that the hotel is in a good spot and a good price and also the breakfast is nice to have! The showers where leaking out into the bathroom so maybe this can be fixed. Also the shower temperature was a bit odd. It was first very hot and then quickly cold and then 5 min later, it was very hot again. I remember having this problem the previous time I stayed as well.
• Guest (8/5): -
• Sara Serpico (8/5): - Alloggio Comodo, semplice ed essenziale. C'è tutto il necessario per il soggiorno e i bagni in comune sono sempre puliti e disponibili. Ingresso e sala colazione un po' piccoli ma non da creare particolari problemi.
• SoulMaite (5/5): Budget friendly for Svalbard - The Manager ( Angie) seems very professional. My room had an issue and she dealt with it promptly. As the guesthouse was fully booked, they sent me to another hotel. Not clean enough in my opinion. Just because it is a budget guesthouse, it doesn't mean that it should reduce its cleanliness standards. For the three days I stayed there, the garbage in the shared bathroom was always full for example. Not cleaned often enough considering it is a shared area. My room was not clean enough. The corners of the room and rims of the wood on the walls had dust and grime from a long time. Cleaners are cutting corners in my opinion. The guest house needs some refreshing. Curtains had holes in them and were not properly attached so they let light in.
• Pietro (9/5): -
• Ann-Marie (8/5): Zweckmäßige Unterkunft, die den Geldbeutel schont - Sehr gemütliches Hostel mit leckerem Frühstück mit großer Auswahl Das Gebäude ist sehr hellhörig und man braucht eine Weile bis man in die Stadt gelaufen ist.
• Nikolaj (10/5): -
• CHIAN (9/5): -
• MARIA (10/5): - Everything, the rooms are very clean, the woman at the reception are polite and ready to help you..
• Yibo (9/5): -
• Ria (8/5): -
• Ming (10/5): Great and very convenient, the airport shuttle is just in front of the guesthouse - It is quite far away from the town, need 30min walk, however if you enjoyed walking it is not the problem. The bed is very comfortable, breakfast very great with a lot of choices, and you can meet a lot of friendly people from all around the world at this guesthouses. Just the walking distance to the town, because I’m a lazy walker
• collini (9/5): Sempre una certezza - Terza volta che ci vado che vuol dire che mi sono trovato bene. La perfezione sappiamo non esiste ma se volessimo arrivarci si dovrebbe creare uno spazio più comodo all ingresso nel passaggio fra arrivo, togliersi le scarpe e salire alle camere.
• Johanna (10/5): -
• Szilvia (10/5): - Great location - northern lights and arctic fozes at the back of the house :) great breakfast, lovely staff, strong wifi, lovely cosy place
• Yuko (10/5): - すごく天候が悪い日に私のスノーブーツでは滑ってしまい歩くのが困難なとき、装置するタイプのアイゼンを貸してくれました。ホントに助かりました。
• Mette-Lise (9/5): -
• Inigo (8/5): un lugar confortable - desayuno muy bueno la limpiza fallo un poco
• Amabelle Mitzi (9/5): Will definitely stay there again and absolutely recommend this property - Friendly and helpful staff, comfy beds and good breakfast Can be overcrowded during breakfast rush and queue for the bathrooms can take long

• Michal (10/5): - Klid a mír na konci světa. Milý personál, dobré snídaně, pohodlné pokoje a postele. Pěšky je do centra cca 30 minut
• Sharon (10/5): Ich kann es kaum erwarten wieder dorthin zurückzukehren! - Jede Menge an Details haben mir sehr gut gefallen. In Summe erschien es mir so, dass das Konzept äußerst gut durchdacht und umgesetzt wird. ”Your home away from home” ist hier wirklich wahr - wenn nicht sogar besser… Es war ein sehr gemütlicher Aufenthalt zumal es draußen in der Eiseskälte extrem stürmte und dir der Schnee unentwegt gnadenlos ins Gesicht geschossen kam. Ich war noch ”kurz” draußen, um mich im Supermarkt mit dem Nötigen einzudecken. Denn selbst Chef in der zauberhaften Küche dort sein zu können ist Programm. Es ist eine Küche in der es an nichts fehlt, um sogar dein Lieblingsgericht zuzubereiten. Der Kaffee oder auch Tee, den es rund um die Uhr gibt, rundete alles ab. Geschlafen habe ich lange nicht, weil der Blick zum Fenster raus Unterhaltung bedeutete. Die Aktion draußen war der stundenlange Schneesturm. Gemütlich schlief ich irgendwann ein; wie ein Murmeltier sogar. Das inkludierte Frühstück war das absolute Highlight am nächsten Tag. Noch ein Plus: Angie, die Managerin, versteht ihren Beruf. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht sogar spontan ihre Bewohner:in sein zu dürfen. Gerne wieder! Es ist schade, dass du diese Unterkunft (das ist bei allen anderen Unterkunftsmöglichkeiten nicht anders) vom Flughafen aus nicht zu Fuß bzw. ohne Schutz erreichen kannst. Im Zwischenabschnitt ist mit der Begegnung mit gefährlichen Meeressäugetieren zu rechnen. Dabei ist der besagte Streckenabschnitt ziemlich kurz und der Nervenkitzel lohnt sich dennoch. Schließlich kann sich niemand zu jederzeit selbst in den als sicher deklarierten Zonen der Siedlung absolut sicher sein, solchen Tieren nicht doch zu begegnen.
• Helena (9/5): Overall it's a super nice stay. Perfect for ppl with limited budget. - Breakfast was really nice, and they also provide tea, coffee, and hot chocolate 24/7. The location seems a bit far away from the city center, but it's like a 20~30 min walk, not 50 min as shown on Google Map. Aslo, since it's far from the city center, it's perfect for seeing Northern Lights! Within 2 min walk we can reach the foot of a mountain, which is completely dark and perfert for Northern Lights. The dorm room is really small, ppl should only bring a backpack; there's def no place for suitcase in any size. Also, the bunk bed is super shakey, you can feel all movements of the person who you shared a bunk bed with.

• Waleria (10/5): Bestehuset 102 :) - Best, my favourite!
• Miłosz (10/5): -
• Tomáš (10/5): -
• Yanning (10/5): - Great breakfast and very friendly staff (made a few friends here). The guest notebook was so interesting to read! Nothing
• K (10/5): Cosy, comfortable, delightfully isolated - Warm and cosy little authentic room, could see northern lights from my windows... It was very clean too. Staff was lovely, one of them is a photographer, and she gifted me a postcard with a message for my birthday! :)) Breakfast was also nice. And you could get tea/coffee anytime during day. I specifically chose this place because it is away from the center. It IS a LONG walk from the center, seriously, you need to buy food etc from center. Be warned.
• Spörri (10/5): -
• Emilie (8/5): Nice budget hotel - Very friendly staff, good price and always very clean showers and bathrooms. Coming back from downtown during winter by minus 25 degrees felt like a full workout. It does take your energy. In summer the 30 min walk would be easily done and no problem. Note there is no public transportation. You can get taxis but the 3-min drive is expensive for what it is (15€ or so).

• Changzeng (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Longyearbyen. The breakfast was excellent, with freshly made waffles that truly deserve a perfect score. The room was very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. The hotel is located on the edge of town, which made it especially peaceful—our window looked directly out onto snow-covered mountains, an unforgettable view. A special thank you to the hotel staff for their kindness and thoughtfulness. They helped us borrow a sled, which became a perfect way for our 4-year-old to get around. This small gesture made a big difference for our family and made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for comfort, great service, and stunning scenery.
• KiRoMaKi (8/5): -
• Daniel (7/5): Buen precio, bien a secas - La ubicación del hostal es relativa, está en el extremo del pueblo lo cual es beneficioso para tener la oportunidad de ver auroras boreales. Pudiera ser un punto negativo ya que el centro del pueblo (el supermercado) te queda retirado. Depende de cómo lo quieras ver. La colchoneta de mi litera ya estaba muy usada, estaba hundida y no se podia dormir bien por lo mismo. Hay huéspedes que no respetan y hacen ruido despues del horario razonable ( después de las 9 pm), creo el staff debería ser muy reiterativo con el tema del ruido en las noches.

• Kriz (10/5): Great value for stay - I love that the breakfast was included. I have seen some people complaining that it is “simple” but I think that is a childish and ungrateful complaint. You get waffles, bread, cereals and a variety of toppings and juices. Also, coffee, hot chocolate and tea is available 24/7. The staff was also very kind and helpful. The twin room were quite spaceous and had a private sink and closet. I also liked the showers, they had good waterpressure and were clean and spaceous. I also loved that shoes had to be taken off in the hallway. The location was really good. The polar bear sign just a 2 minute walk away so easy to get nice views of the nature and the northern lights. The common kitchen was not very clean Only minor downside of the location was that it was a but far from the city center, so for those not wanting to walk 35 minutes downtown the only option during winter would be taxi, which could get expensive
• Daniel (9/5): -
• Jorick (8/5): Beste prijs kwaliteit in spitsbergen - Prijs Ontbijt
• shixuan (10/5): -
• Ruiqi (10/5): 下次来还会预定这一家！ - 特别温馨的小旅舍 喜欢 没什么要改进的 所有都很好
• Joe (10/5): Excellent - Friendly helpful staff, good kitchen for self-catering, clean room A bit of a walk from the centre of Longyearbyen but can recommend hiring a bike from the visit Svalbard office to make the journey to and from the town. Also, if you do a tour, they’ll pick you up from the hostel.
• Anouar (10/5): Enjoyable - The property was excellent, high level of cleanliness. It’s about 20 min from the city centre, but you can enjoy the walk. The most I liked was the staff which they were very helpful, kind and friendly. Special thanks to Angie and Khristin for their kindness. Definitely recommend!!
