Great budget stay
We thorough enjoyed our 3 night stay in this lovely quirky establishment. Although the rooms are not massive, they were big enough and it was so much more interesting than staying in a bland corporate hotel. The staff were amazing and the huge lounge area had a lovely homely feel. Don't worry about the shared bathrooms, they're large, well appointed and there are plenty of them. We would definitely stay again, and would recommended it to anyone. Thanks to all the team there who helped make our trip so memorable.

The best part of the stay was the breakfast buffet. The staff was from Argentina and were the friendliest ever. Other than that, for the money paid it was average

8/10 Very good

I stayed for four nights at Mary-Ann's Polarrigg. Overall it was good. The single room was clean and the bed comfortable. A roller blind on the window helped cut out the 24 hour sunlight at night. The shared bathrooms were kept very clean. My olny complaint was that the show stall drainage was not great and a couple of days the shower soap dispenser was empty. The restaurant is very nice. The menu is a bit limited if you are vegetarian. They had one vegetarian option, and it was the same every night. The hotel staff were all very nice. Everyone speaks excellent English. It's about a five minute walk into the center of town. The airport bus goes to this hotel.

The rooms are great, the Vinterhagen restaurant is top-notch, staff very helpful. Also, the "living room" is very convenient. The quirky, one-of-a-kind vibe of the place is what makes Mary-Ann's so unique. Loved it.

Our second time here and we would not stay anywhere else. Funky, friendly, and fun! Amazing bar and restaurant plus super nice staff! They arranged for taxis to meet us and then to deliver us to the airport. We had a great Arctic dinner w fine wine and a lovely setting. Thank you all for another great stay!

Always Welcoming
I arrived from the US very tired after more than 24 hrs travel. The staff was helpful & welcoming. It is Easter weekend so we were told about store closures for the holiday weekend. It is my second stay at Mary Ann's Polar Rig and I will return when I go back to Longyearben.

A nice authentic hotel
This is an authentic hotel converted from old miner barracks. Inside the hotel is like a museum. I loved the every corner of this hotel. I enjoyed my stay there big time. Its location is good - not on the main street, but just a little outside with an excellent view of the valley and mountains and close by the fjord. The shared bathroom situation has never been a problem. There are plenty pathhrooms in the hallway. I never had to compete for a bathroom. Their breakfast is very good. They also offer lunch and dinner on premises. I would definitely go back and stay there again.

Great place!!
I stayed for 4 nights & loved every moment here. The single rooms are just the right size & there are enough communal bathrooms to go around. The breakfast is enough to get you through to till & the evening restaurant is really great!

Amazing and unique place to stay in Longyearbyen
This an amazing place to stay. The location is perfect. The rooms are clean and have everything you need. There is a beautiful and large shared living room with comfortable furniture, fireplaces and nice spaces to work and free coffee and tea available 24 hours a day. The dining room is a beautiful greenhouse filled with plants from all over the world. The breakfast is as good as any five star hotel that I have stayed in and included in the price of the room. We had a lunch and dinner at the restaurant and both we very good. It was a perfect place to try the local cuisine. The staff is very kind and helpful. A perfect place to stay for your visit to Longyearbyen.

A Unique Place in a Unique Place!
We really enjoyed this hotel. It's comfortable with everything we needed, but also has an adventurous vibe. It's very unique in it's decoration/layout, and is a lot of fun to explore. Staff was nice/helpful, and the breakfast is pretty good too! They really embrace the Svalbard spirit, and as such staying here really enhances the entire trip. Great location as well since all the excursions pick up here, and it's a short walk to the main part of town. Would definitely recommend the Polarrigg!
