Konstantinos

Our stay at Polfareren exceeded our expectations. The hotel was super clean and the staff very friendly. The room was really big and the bathroom had a heated floor. It, was located outside of the main compartment, but of course we knew it and we didn't have any issues. We visited the archipelago in late April so keep in mind the sun never sets. The room is not completely dark so I recommend the use of sleeping masks. We personally liked it a lot that we got that light cause we experienced the polar night 100%. The breakfast was good and tasty. When we visit Svalbard again we know where to stay. Also an advice to all travelers, if you go to Svalbard do the Trollsteinen hike, It's by far the best activity we have had 😁.

A great hotel in an incredible location. It's modern and comfortable. You have access to a sauna, a cocktail bar, and a small library to relax after a day of Arctic adventures. You cannot get tired of the view from the restaurant.

Very nice breakfast. One time the chef lady cooked extra scrambled eggs when it ran out at the end of closing time. We love the location, walked around the town. Walked down the road to take pictures of the mountains. Nice memories of it.

Fantastic place!! Highly recommend! The best shower in 6 weeks of traveling Norway. Lots of room (some showers are like phone booths), plenty of pressure and lots of hot water. Staff were very helpful and maintained exceptional cleanliness. Very quiet and the best equipped kitchen, with everything and more that you could need. 15 minute walk into town , but I recommend the adjacent Funken Lodge for early morning coffee (7 AM instead of 10 AM in town) and exceptional dinners! Highly recommend the reindeer heart, and the steak dinner. Comfortable bed and nice sitting area with lots of room and closet space. Can not say enough how nice it was to stay here. Good value too!

What Guests Said About Longyearbyen:

If you are active and passionate about the stunning beauty...
If you are active and passionate about the stunning beauty of the Arctic, Longyearbyen should be on your list. By snowmobile, skis, or even by foot, you will discover extreme landscapes, dramatic snow-covered mountains, and glaciers. In March, the colors of the sunset and twilight hours are the dream of any photographer. Pack your stay with many activities and certainly do not miss out on all the great food that the many restaurants in town have to offer.LLouisFrance - 10Scored 10
Friendly, clean, warm, welcoming and quirky.
Friendly, clean, warm, welcoming and quirky. Excellent home cooked breakfast. Close to town. So quirky it reminded me of Banksy’s Walled Off hotel on the West Bank. Great opportunity to stay in ex-mining accommodation.

This is a very interesting fully functional Cory located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean pretty close to the North Pole. (Closer to the north pile than any other major city in the world.) Anyone can visit Svalbard and stay here as long as you like, regardless of 'nationality' / passport(s). It's great if you have money, but even if you don't you can find inexpensive food at the store (if you look hard) and there's free food left at the hostel, plus they give you free breakfast. 🙂SophieUnited States of America - 10Scored 10
For somebody from South India the place can only be...
For somebody from South India the place can only be described as otherworldly... like going to a different planet, almost. The weather was in the minus 20 s when i visited last week and it is essential that one prepares for this if visiting in the winter. It is not exactly easy to get around in this island of 2,000 people or so. I came to my hotel in the airport bus and was picked up by the organisers of my various activities like dog sledding etc. I believe there is a taxi but am not sure it can be hailed quickly. Apart from the city centre ( which is 3 streets) other places like the church, harbour etc are a bit of a walk and one has to be prepared for that. It is impossible to walk to these places in winter in the cold and pitch dark. Vegetarian food options were available but limited. Overall, it was a memorable experience, though.

The end of the earth, or so it feels... we arrived for snow on the ground in September and below freezing the whole time. The one big shop, the Co-op, in the town is great, has everything you need, plus the only alcohol shop is part of it selling a big range, you need to show a boarding pass for your flight to buy drink though! Liked the Svalbard brewery by the harbour, their beer is in every bar in town but on a Friday you can book a space in their taproom, really good. Karlsberger pub (in the shopping centre) is worth a go too, lots of mining decor and a huge range of spirits. For unusual food, Mary-Ann's Polarrigg has a restaurant attached with (so I heard) superb food, but the bar there will serve food too, we had the home smoked tasting plate of Minke whale, bearded seal and reindeer which was fascinating. Didn't see any polar bears, which was both good and bad, it's a strange feeling to be walking around and not to be the alpha predator...

We loved the people, we met. Everyone was hospitable.
We loved the people, we met. Everyone was hospitable. And all the guides we had, were really good and dedicated. The Haugen pensjonat was, like everything else, an excellent experience. We felt everybody did their best and loved what they did. We had fish and chips at Kroa. The food was really nice and good for the price, and the room was a local experience made of timber. We went around in Longyearbyen by foot or were driven by our guides. Between the airport and the town is also a bus with reasonable prices. For my next visit, I would wear warmer clothes - a thin layer of merino wool under the gloves and normal clothes.AAnonymous

- From $329.97 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 194 reviewsOverall the hotel has this cosy atmosphere, rooms very simple but very stylish. Heating in the room was perfect. It was also very quiet so it made really easy for me to unwind after a long day spent on tours. The staff is amazing, absolutely doing everything to make the whole experience even better. Special mention to Maggie and Sergey who went above and beyond to make sure that people enjoy their time in the hotel. Breakfast selection is just enough in my opinion, everything is fresh and well prepared.
EditHungary - From $140.41 per night9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 102 reviewsStaff was very good and helpful. they arrange day trip to many attractions. It is close to city center but there is no pick from this dom for any day trip conducted by other tour operators - you need to walk to near by pick up point ( Radisson blu Hotel ) but it is very close ( 3 minutes walk ). Longyearbyen settlement itself is very small so it doesn’t matter where you stay ( everything is at walkable distance). I will stay here again if I come back to Svalbard.

- From $141.84 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 922 reviewsIt was clean and quiet (except around plane arrival and departure time). We had a great breakfast every morning. It is a bit far from the centrum (~20 min. walk), but the enviromental is very nice during the walk, and we had a great weather (most of the time), so it was not a problem. And it was the cheapest accomodation in the city, so if that matters, you are at the right place. So we would stay at the same place, if we will come back to Longyearbyen :)

Not as luxurious as other Radisson hotels, but my room, bed, and bathroom were quite good, it was quiet, the views were good, the window blinds were effective, the heating system worked well, the free wifi worked well, the included breakfast was very good, and the staff was very friendly. The location is perfect. In summary, everything was very good.
