We stayed in Svalbard Lodge which is the self catering part of the Svalbard Hotel. It was nice to have our own kitchen and space to chill (although the grocery stores were not open at all during our stay) and the location is great in terms of access to the town however being right above the bar makes it a...

My boyfriend and I were staying here for 4 nights during easter vacation, and we have no regrets in choosing this hotel. Great value for money, nice sized room, big bathroom, a fantastic view trough panoramic sized windows (we stayed at the top floor). Upon time of reservation, we booked one double bed, but were allocated twin beds. Asked at... More

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

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.
