9.5 (94 reviews)

Radisson Blu Polar Hotel, Spitsbergen ★★★★

📍 Vei 229-3, Longyearbyen

"It appears to be the most premium hotel in Longyearbyen, offering excellent facilities, professional service, and an extensive breakfast. Food prices were also reasonable, and it certainly meets four-star hotel standards. The only drawback was that planned activities often couldn't go ahead."

Svalbard Hotell | Lodge ★★★

📍 vei 228, Longyearbyen

"Great location, comfortable rooms. Easy checkin and would stay here again. We had 2 bedroom which had kitchen as well. Above the Svalbard so nice place to eat and drink. Shops everywhere but don’t open til 10. Including a fabulous supermarket."

Basecamp Hotel
9.3 (29 reviews)

Basecamp Hotel ★★★★

📍 6J8P+R9W, Hilmar Rekstens vei, Longyearbyen

"My sister and I have just spent eight wonderful days over Christmas at Basecamp and we have a new fondest place! The staff from housekeeping to reception and breakfast team were all so very very lovely, engaging and so helpful. Even providing some home made treats for my sisters birthday. Magical! Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Whilst not providing evening meals might be inconvenient for some, we found it a good opportunity to explore Svalbard Cuisine by touring a different eatery each evening. We stayed in a family room (No.1) and the two bedroom set up was perfect for an older brother sister combo. Very clean bathroom, regularly cleaned. Basic amenities provided and plenty of hot water. If we had one minor moan about the room we might suggest a more comfortable sofa to relax into at the end of the day. The hard pine bench seats were difficult to be comfortable on for any length of time. Centrally located in the city, activities are all at your fingertips. An absolute gem."

Coal Miners’ Cabins ★★
"Simple and very decent. In the tradition of former miners' accommodation. Shared kitchen, washing machine, dryer (free of charge), functional bathrooms, clean. A bit noisy when the American in the next room is talking loudly on the phone to his family at night. Used by many young and young-at-heart people who don't want luxury accommodation. Due to the location up the valley near the former mine, it takes about 20 minutes to walk into town. Recommended."

Mary-Ann's Polarrigg ★★
"Excellent, highly recommended. I stayed for 3 nights. The rooms were small, but the common areas were very spacious and comfortable. Even if you didn't go out sightseeing, just sitting on the sofa was enjoyable. The restaurant and breakfast were also very good, with comfortable decor. We happened to be there on a snowy day, so we could enjoy breakfast while watching the snow fall. Although the bathrooms were shared, there were many stalls, so there was basically no wait. They were clean and spacious. The location was okay, a bit far from the city center, about a 15-minute walk. You need to cross a river behind the guesthouse, which offers a different view. I would recommend this place more than a hotel!"

Basecamp Hotel ★★★★
"The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The lobby and facilities are beautiful. The reception can help you book trips/expeditions/activities with their own company (Basecamp), or with others. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to visit Svalbard/Longyearbyen."
