Longyearbyen Homestays

Reception team is efficient and welcoming. Breakfast is very good with good choice and well organised. It’s gets busy but the team do a good job to clear and keep everything “topped up”. The room was fine but the bathrooms are very dated. The rooms close to the road get super hot during summer period so keep the window wide open or book a room away from the road. Staff are friendly and very international.

From the airport, there is a bus directly to the hotel entrance. It takes about 15 minutes to get in. The door needs to take off the shoes. The room is small but very clean. There is heating and floor heating. The breakfast style is not much. The taste is not bad. The staff are very friendly. The street at the entrance of the hotel has an outdoor store. The supermarket next door is the meal. The hall is also delicious. It is recommended to live here.

This is probably the best place to stay in Longyearbyen. Check-in was fine, and the staff (who spoke excellent English) also helpfully made a restaurant booking in town for us. The room was very comfortable. Breakfast was extensive and very good quality, with a wide choice including freshly made omelettes and fried eggs. The rainwater shower didn't work - there was no apology when we reported it. The website listed slippers among the amenities in the room. When we told the front desk there were none in the room, they told us that they don't provide them in a standard room. When we showed them the website, they said that it was an error and they would have to get that changed (but didn't offer us any). After we insisted, they gave us some - a small issue, but we didn't want to come to breakfast wearing our heavy walking boots. Overall though, a good stay.

Breakfast was rich! Choose a lot of these! This hotel is the only 4-star hotel in Svalbard! There are saunas and outdoor baths! It's warm inside the hotel! Also close to the local supermarket! Environmental facilities are really good, love his sauna! It's so comfortable!
