Basecamp Hotel, hotel in Longyearbyen

Centrally located in Longyearbyen, Basecamp Hotel is a traditional trapper's lodge-style property just 15 minutes’ drive from Longyearbyen Airport. The airport bus stops right outside.

The hotel was perfectly located in the middle of the city, in close proximity to the grocery store, shops, restaurants and bars. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the hotel had such a warm and inviting vibe. I would definitely stay here again!

Mary-Ann's Polarrigg, hotel in Longyearbyen

Set in the Skjæringa area of Longyearbyen, Mary-Ann's Polarrigg is built with old rigs. Central Longyearbyen is between 6-8 minutes walk away and the airport bus stops right in front of the hotel.

Very nice breakfast. One time the chef lady cooked extra scrambled eggs when it ran out at the end of closing time. We love the location, walked around the town. Walked down the road to take pictures of the mountains. Nice memories of it.

Haugen Pensjonat Svalbard, hotel in Longyearbyen

Located in Longyearbyen, within 0.8 mi of Svalbard Church, Haugen Pensjonat Svalbard offers accommodations with free WiFi. Built in 1985, the property is within 1.3 mi of Svalbard Museum.

Fantastic place!! Highly recommend! The best shower in 6 weeks of traveling Norway. Lots of room (some showers are like phone booths), plenty of pressure and lots of hot water. Staff were very helpful and maintained exceptional cleanliness. Very quiet and the best equipped kitchen, with everything and more that you could need. 15 minute walk into town , but I recommend the adjacent Funken Lodge for early morning coffee (7 AM instead of 10 AM in town) and exceptional dinners! Highly recommend the reindeer heart, and the steak dinner. Comfortable bed and nice sitting area with lots of room and closet space. Can not say enough how nice it was to stay here. Good value too!

    Friendly, clean, warm, welcoming and quirky.

    Friendly, clean, warm, welcoming and quirky. Excellent home cooked breakfast. Close to town. So quirky it reminded me of Banksy’s Walled Off hotel on the West Bank. Great opportunity to stay in ex-mining accommodation.

    This is a very interesting fully functional Cory located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean pretty close to the North Pole. (Closer to the north pile than any other major city in the world.) Anyone can visit Svalbard and stay here as long as you like, regardless of 'nationality' / passport(s). It's great if you have money, but even if you don't you can find inexpensive food at the store (if you look hard) and there's free food left at the hostel, plus they give you free breakfast. 🙂

    For somebody from South India the place can only be described as otherworldly... like going to a different planet, almost. The weather was in the minus 20 s when i visited last week and it is essential that one prepares for this if visiting in the winter. It is not exactly easy to get around in this island of 2,000 people or so. I came to my hotel in the airport bus and was picked up by the organisers of my various activities like dog sledding etc. I believe there is a taxi but am not sure it can be hailed quickly. Apart from the city centre ( which is 3 streets) other places like the church, harbour etc are a bit of a walk and one has to be prepared for that. It is impossible to walk to these places in winter in the cold and pitch dark. Vegetarian food options were available but limited. Overall, it was a memorable experience, though.

    The end of the earth, or so it feels... we arrived for snow on the ground in September and below freezing the whole time. The one big shop, the Co-op, in the town is great, has everything you need, plus the only alcohol shop is part of it selling a big range, you need to show a boarding pass for your flight to buy drink though! Liked the Svalbard brewery by the harbour, their beer is in every bar in town but on a Friday you can book a space in their taproom, really good. Karlsberger pub (in the shopping centre) is worth a go too, lots of mining decor and a huge range of spirits. For unusual food, Mary-Ann's Polarrigg has a restaurant attached with (so I heard) superb food, but the bar there will serve food too, we had the home smoked tasting plate of Minke whale, bearded seal and reindeer which was fascinating. Didn't see any polar bears, which was both good and bad, it's a strange feeling to be walking around and not to be the alpha predator...

    We loved the people, we met. Everyone was hospitable.

    We loved the people, we met. Everyone was hospitable. And all the guides we had, were really good and dedicated. The Haugen pensjonat was, like everything else, an excellent experience. We felt everybody did their best and loved what they did. We had fish and chips at Kroa. The food was really nice and good for the price, and the room was a local experience made of timber. We went around in Longyearbyen by foot or were driven by our guides. Between the airport and the town is also a bus with reasonable prices. For my next visit, I would wear warmer clothes - a thin layer of merino wool under the gloves and normal clothes.

    Staff was very good and helpful. they arrange day trip to many attractions. It is close to city center but there is no pick from this dom for any day trip conducted by other tour operators - you need to walk to near by pick up point ( Radisson blu Hotel ) but it is very close ( 3 minutes walk ). Longyearbyen settlement itself is very small so it doesn’t matter where you stay ( everything is at walkable distance). I will stay here again if I come back to Svalbard.

    The room was extremely spacious, with ample heating, very clean and warm, and the kitchen facilities were very comprehensive. The view outside the window was also very nice. Elena was very friendly, provided us with useful advice, and even helped us arrange a taxi to the airport. The apartment was a bit of a distance from the center of Longyearbyen, but it was still convenient to walk, taking just over 10 minutes, as Longyearbyen is quite small to begin with.

    It was clean and quiet (except around plane arrival and departure time). We had a great breakfast every morning. It is a bit far from the centrum (~20 min. walk), but the enviromental is very nice during the walk, and we had a great weather (most of the time), so it was not a problem. And it was the cheapest accomodation in the city, so if that matters, you are at the right place. So we would stay at the same place, if we will come back to Longyearbyen :)

    The breakfast was generous and had quirky options like brown cheese oatmeal. Rooftop lounge was a undiscovered gem although it got a bit stuffy. Reading about the company (they actively work with Maasai tribe in E. Africa) is humbling. Longyearbyen is a small town but BCH's location is unmatched (compare hotel: Coal Miner's Cabin, a 20 minute walk up a hill from "downtown.")

    Funken Lodge is really an extraordinary hotel located in beautiful Longyearbyen. We had the most wonderful time there!!! Everything was great - the hotel, the room, the service, the food, the view from the breakfast/dining room, lots of space to just hang-out next to the cozy fireplace... an absolut recommendation!! :-)

    Mary Ann's Polarrigg has a great breakfast served in the Winter Garden, cosy decor, comfortable beds with views across to Platåfjellet and good WiFi. It's very close to the town and no issues with walking to and from the hotel. The staff were all helpful too. One of my favourite things about my stay in Longyearbyen!

    Exquisite hotel in Longyearbyen, beautifully decorated and ultra-comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, the views were spectacular, the 5 o'clock tea and treats were lovely and the staff was super friendly. They also have a great bar with very nice drinks. Everything exceeded our expectations.

    Great apartment suitable for a group of people in the very center of Longyearbyen. It's close to all major restaurants and bars (with Svalbar being just downstairs), shops and main attractions of Longyearbyen. The apartment was overall clean and well equipped. Staying there was a pleasure.

    I booked a room at Coal Miner's Cabins for a quick holiday with a friend. Due to maintenance work, the hostel was closed, but I was contacted, and my stay was upgraded for free to Funken Lodge hotel, which is much more expensive and luxurious. Very professional behaviour from the hostel.
