I stayed here 3 nights at the end of a cruise and had a lovely time. The room was clean and light and airy with a wonderful view of the sea and the mountains. The free wifi was welcome too. The breakfast across the road in the Svalbard Lodge was excellent. Also the two girls on reception were incredibly friendly... More

We stayed over for 5 nights, really nice hotel, friendly and helpfull staff en excellent breakfast just across the street. Much more intimate than the Radison Blu. You can have nice dinner as well in restaurant Kroa just opposite the hotel.

My wife and I were surprised that we had to go through passport control at Tromso Airport to fly to Spitsbergen, but we were delighted that we booked the Svalbard Hotel. It is centrally located and relatively new (and clean). The staff--especially Torill--were friendly and very helpful with booking activities. We chose a mountain hike (around $70 per person at...

Stayed at this hotel on a business trip. On arrival, the receptionist issued a personal keycode that allowed entry to the hotel front door and my room. Good idea as it means not having to carry keys, which those here for skiing holidays very happy with. The rooms are clean and have great big pictures of the local flora and... More

This is a small cosy and intimate hotel with very modern room that gives you just the right mood for your visit at Svalbard. High standard bathroom as well. The reception is only open at daytime and the breakfast is just over the street. The staff is very friendly like all other people you meet up there.

Great location in the middle of the village and a short walk to everywhere. Very modern room and bathroom. Nice place to have coffee and biscuits whenever you like. I went down early in the morning and sat around in my pyjames (sorry to all the other guests who saw me!) Breakfast across the road is very reasonable. Free wi-fi.... More

New hotel with nice size Scandinavian style (light!) rooms, very centrally located - we walked everywhere! Nice little corner with free coffee and cookies right next to the reception. The hotel does not have a 24 hour reception, but the staff were there when we needed it and very helpful. The price is influenced by the fact that there are... More

We were lucky enought to try this hotel just as it opened in March 2011, and believe this is certainly going to be a hit amongst mid-budget travellers. We all know that staying in Svalbard is expensive, and it feels a bit of a waste to spend lots of money on accomodation when you spend most of the day out... More
