Lovely stay! My mountain view was more of a view of the front entrance and parking with a tip of hill showing behind the building across the street. Not great, but super comfortable room and great tub! The local food was all delicious as well. I went to Kroa a couple times and the hotel restaurant as well but just for dinner. So good!

Bad staff nice room
Not the best hotel staff. Rude and not welcoming at reception . I would not recommend the hotel because of the staff and strifked check in policy and the fact you have to remove shoes to even check into the hotel, the rooms are nice and so is breakfast and it’s a good location but the reception staff are not good

We loved this hotel. The room was a great size and convenient to everything in town. The breakfast each morning was excellent. The only downside was we stayed during polar day and there were black out curtains on the big window only. The small window near the head of the bed let in quite a bit of light which made it harder to sleep.

A basic hotel room with separate bathroom. No fridge which is typical in Scandinavia. I say it is a basic 3 star hotel with excellent staff. The restaurant Polfareren has some amazing dishes. Make sure you try the snow crab bisque it is truly amazing and delicious.

Perfect Base in Svalbard!
A perfect hotel! Located in the middle of the town, everything is nearby and walking distance. Hotel is very warm and cost, staff are incredible and very welcoming. Room is a good size and very comfortable. Breakfast is perfect with a lot of options. Could not find any fault. All around a perfect hotel!

It was great to stay here. The rooms were spacious and warm. They include breakfast (buffet style) that has hot and cold food, a variety of juices, hot coffee and tea; and plenty of options to pick from. The reception staff were professional and friendly; and very willing to help you. I would stay here again.
