    If you are going to stay in Longyearbyen this is the only hotel to stay in. Great atmosphere and so comfortable. Excellent breakfast and good service from the hotel. I first stayed here 17 years ago and I am still visiting.

    We have a wonderful memory there! All the hotel staff are very warm-hearted and nice. The location is just in the middle of the town. The facilities are in good conditions.

    The hotel is super cute and cosy and the breakfast was the best we had. Fresh made eggs Benedict with home made hollandaise sauce was a highlight. The bathroom is really nice too. We would stay here again.
