8/10 Very good

All the staff were very lovely and friendly. The Barentz Pub was really convenient - good range of drinks and nice food which was served very quickly. Our final dinner was at Nansen which was delicious. And, of course, breakfast was great - Ruth was a bright start to the day - all with a fabulous view!

I had a very nice stay here. Friendly, helpful staff and great breakfast. The room was spacious, quiet and very comfortable. I also booked a time for the outside jacuzzi, which was a great experience under the stars in the polarnight. The hotel is conveniently located in the centre of Longyearbyen.

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.
