Decorated "Trapper's" style with split log walls, packing crate ceilings and bits of radio gear splashed about. As with all places in Longyearbyen, the service is with a smile. Beds are comfortable but with -18 outside, you will always sleep well. Kroa restaurant (attached) is buzzing with explorers, would-be explorers and people who just want to stand around looking good.... More

We have just returned and are thoroughly depressed to have left this incredible place - with amazing people. Thank you so so much - we are saving to come back! The rooms were rustic and beautiful, made from driftwood! There is a restaurant attached but otherwise the location is perfect for other places too. As for theexperience - sigh!

Norway is an expensive country, however this place proved to be great value for money offering warm, cosy and comfortable accommodation with good breakfast, free coffee and biscuits and friendly and helpful staff who will organise trips and outings for you. The staff gave us a surprise present and postcard as it was our honeymoon there and found it very... More

We just stayed at basecamp trappers for the last three nights. Its a rustic wooden hotel with heaps of character. Most the staff are really friendly and go out of their way to help you. The rooms are wooden,warm and cosy. Though we found a dirty pair of lacey knickers between our two mattresses which u would definately find if... More

This is a dual review, both of the Trapper's Hotel and the snowmobile expedition that they organised for us. Our experience started when we made a request for a short stay at the Trapper's Lodge coupled with an overnight snowmobile excursion to the ship in the ice. The minimum amount of guests on the Basecamp Spitsbergen excursions is four and... More

Cute room but very expensive at £250 per night for small bunk beds and half hearted breakfast. Rooms are fun designed but not great tbh..they make you smile when you go in at the styling, but grimace as you leave at the comfort. Staff are superficially friendly and shake your hand with a big smile when you arrive. Don't try... More

Stayed here in 2010 for a brief night before heading further north. It wasn't the cheapest hotel but it was definitely worth the money. Its right in the centre of Longyearben and its clean and comfy. Not all of the windows have blinds though so if you haven't adjusted to sleeping in 24hr sunlight then remember a sleeping mask or... More

Our accommodation at Basecamp was booked as part of our winter package tour and we couldn't have been more impressed. The lodge has a beautiful interior with lots of items and photographs from the Svalbard region to look at.  I particularly like the custom of having to take off your shoes when you come in to the lodge.  This is...

We stayed there for 2 nights and took their dog sledding tour. The room is unique, comfortable and clean. Although I can't figure out how to climb up to the top bunk bed. The staff were really nice and tried their best to accommodate our needs. Breakfast was quite good and the hotel is close to shops and Kroa restaurant... More
