Stayed there for two nights starting May 31st. To be frank, I was pleasantly surprised. Longyearbyen is really in the middle of nowhere. Literally. To have such a functioning hotel was great. Rooms are super clean (might need some minor renovation, but then again it is the North Pole!), so are bathrooms. One simple addition would be to have proper... More

After reading the generally positive reviews for this hotel, I was surprised by what I found. I stayed here before and after an expedition up to the North Pole and before and after a 3 day snowmobile trip around Svalbard. I was in a superior room, which was quite small. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom is in serious need... More

Ok hotel that needs some upgrade and some more atmosphere. Staff try their best, but have limited material to work with. The rooms are getting a bit dated but are still somewhat functional. The restaurant including breakfast needs some passion and a chef with some genuine interest in what he is preparing. A decent alternative that is close to where... More

My wife and I stayed in a superior room for 3 nights in early April and had a brilliant time. To be honest you don't come all this way north to sit in a hotel and the whole experience of being in Svalbard outweighs anything to do with the hotel itself. But after being out in the beautiful but oh... More

This was our second visit to Longyearbyen and the second time was also our honeymoon. When the hotel got aware of that they upgraded us to a superior room with a fantastic view and nice standard. They also sent a bottle of wine as a welcome/congratulation gift. We were really impressed and thankful for the kind gestures. The staff is... More

This hotel don´t have very muck in common with others Radison hotels. It´s rather outdated and worn down. The rooms are pretty big but the room standard is poor. No such things as shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. The WiFi (free) is good but the TV has not much to offer. The good thing is that the hotel has a superb... More

Thre of us stayed in an apartment this week. You have to be flexible in sleeping arrangments. Husband on sofa bed, me on large bottom bunk and daughter, 26 on top bunk. Hotel clean and warm. Bar had good plain food. Meal of day for 99kr. And the great barensburger. 129kr. One problem.....static electricity. It was bad, we couldnt touch... More

We (me and a friend) stayed there on January. It was cold, -45c, but once you entered the warm and cozy atmosphere would do you as you are back home. The rooms (we stayed at the lower story, where the sauna is located), are quite spacious, very clean, and warm. The sauna operates all day, and the experience after activities... More

Seeing the harsh environment, its quite impressive with a hotel like this. If they had made a bigger effort on using "Svalbard" inside... it would have been 5 stars. Everything was quite ok, but the GM also needs to give a hotel a soul... this has none.
