Our stay at Polfareren exceeded our expectations. The hotel was super clean and the staff very friendly. The room was really big and the bathroom had a heated floor. It, was located outside of the main compartment, but of course we knew it and we didn't have any issues. We visited the archipelago in late April so keep in mind the sun never sets. The room is not completely dark so I recommend the use of sleeping masks. We personally liked it a lot that we got that light cause we experienced the polar night 100%. The breakfast was good and tasty. When we visit Svalbard again we know where to stay. Also an advice to all travelers, if you go to Svalbard do the Trollsteinen hike, It's by far the best activity we have had 😁.

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!

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.

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. 🙂SophieUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

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.AAnonymous - 10Scored 10

This is a place where you should stay longer and in different times of the year. My favorite place to eat was the mexican whith really nice made food and 100 meter next to it a great place to have coffe and a sandwhich. If you need outdoor gear this is the place to get it.RalfGermany

- From $191.20 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 499 reviewsSituated right in the heart of Longyearbyen, the Vault is perfect to get out and about. The Eastern influenced restaurant on site serves simple tasty food in the evenings which hit the spot on more than one occasion. It may not be as flash as some hotels here (no big public bar for example), but is clean, simple and excellent. Reception serves a range of reasonably priced drinks if needs be and the staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet provides a good selection of foods and sets you up for your day nicely.
MikeUnited Kingdom - From $342.62 per night9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 258 reviewsBasecamp Hotel is all wood, very warm- feeling, and cozy—wood floors, walls, ceilings. The design was simple, rugged because of the thick wood, and beautiful. It was a relief to be there after being outdoors in the cold, stark arctic town. My solo traveler room had a wonderfully comfortable double bed tucked into an alcove and a modern, sleek bathroom. The breakfast was truly amazing—great breads, eggs, oatmeal and cereals, cheeses. All delicious. They do know how to cook and be hospitable way up north.EElizabethUnited States of America
- From $342.62 per night9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 258 reviewsThe staff were amazing. We had two bag mishaps (in flight and in airport transfer) and when this happens to you in such a remote location, these are the people you want at your hotel. They went above and beyond and sorted out what was possible to sort out at their end. I cannot praise the staff at Basecamp Explorer any higher. They really were excellent. The interior seems very authentic and it looks very cool and unique. Breakfast was amazing. Free tea / coffee always a plus.

She helped us to understand how the town works, suggested some restaurants and other shops.The kitchen was full of the necessary food and some tasty homemade desserts were prepared for all the guests to share! The hotel also felt like a home and not like a chain hotel, the owner takes very good care of the faculties, it's a nice cozy place to stay and enjoy the city. Highly recommend!EEimaSwitzerland
- From $127.41 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 1,432 reviewsThe best accommodation in Longyearbyen imaginable! Not just a hotel but many other facilities including a huge "living room", game room, restaurant, etc. A complex of several buildings set aside from the city center yet very close to it (there is a bridge shortcut to the town). We stayed there during the polar night and we enjoyed the setting with Christmas trees in the yard. Very nice breakfasts and a superb restaurant.MichalCzech Republic
