The property is very unique in terms of the look & feel of the boutique hotel. Not too big but tastefully made. No shoes allowed inside so it stays clean thru out. Nice breakfast.

Everything. Given the remote location, I thought the facilities and restaurants would be basic. However, they turned to be much better than what I thought. If someone visiting Svalbard, this is the place for you. Advanced booking is advised.

First of all, this review is about the sister hotel, Svalbard Polfareren, as I was upgraded to this hotel at no charge, as the Vault was undergoing maintenance. The Polfareren Hotel was definitely upscale, super clean, with large, cozy, comfortable rooms, nice modern bathroom and appealing common areas, including a wonderful lobby lounge area with fireplace to relax, read, or enjoy a glass of wine. This location provides easy walking access throughout the delightful, small town feel of Longyearbyen, with restaurants, bars, shops and grocery market, all so close during the dark Polar Night strolls. As for the hotel breakfast, I travel a lot, and this breakfast spread was most enjoyable and offered the most complete selection of choices I have ever seen in my stays anywhere. Front desk staff was always available and helpful when needed. I would easily choose to stay at this hotel again.

It was the cleanest hostel/ hotel I have ever stayed in. Spotless and modern, excellent kitchen fully equipped. The shower and toilets were separate, which makes a huge difference, also spotlessly clean. Yulya and Sam were outstanding and quickly became "family"

We loved this place! We were traveling with 6, and the two bedroom apartment was such a good option. The kitchen was wonderful in a place with pretty expensive restaurants but a great grocery store.

To be in this icy wilderness is a real pleasure and despite that, the town maintains a level of coziness. The tours are fantastic. Ice cave hike, coal mine tours, beer tasting at the most northerly brewery in the world. Residents and travellers from all over the world with a great spirit about them. Not expensive to fly to any more and going in summer, winter and the shoulder seasons is like taking completely different holidays so reasons to return.

This is the second time I have traveled to Longyearbyen and I am already planning my third trip back. I usually travel during October, which usually means less people because it's just before polar night begins. Where do I even begin... The food, the people, the history, the scenery... It's all incredible! If you want to go somewhere different, and don't mind the cold (like, COLD cold!), I highly recommend coming here! Just be sure to book some tours and excursions, as there isn't too much to do in town, and you will need someone with a rifle with you to go outside of the town limits due to polar bears. Definitely try the reindeer stew at Stationen (it's absolutely incredible!) then pop over across the hall to have a drink at the northernmost pub in the world! And if you are lucky enough to be here when MS Bard, the hybrid electric catamaran boat, is running the dinner cruise, DO IT! They also run tours during the day where the captain chooses where y'all go depending on season, weather, wildlife, etc. The ATV tours are also really fun if you want to go up to the old coal mines. There's also a husky cafe where you can sip some coffee or hot chocolate with some retired sled dogs. No matter the season, you can also book some sled dog tours. If there's no snow, they use wagons. You can book tours on the Visit Svalbard website. Happy Traveling!!!

Svalbard is unique and probably not for everyone.

Svalbard is unique and probably not for everyone. If you want adventure where not much people go, and where everything seems from another planet, this is the place to be. You will either get 24/7 daylight or complete darkness in this place. Getting essentials is not as trivial as in the mainland. Wildlife is in a different level (yes there are polar bears roaming the island). Ice caves and glaciers all around. It all adds up to an unforgetable experience and not many people dare to live.

Longyearbyen for me is characterised by hospitality and warmth which is exactly what you need in the harsh beauty of the arctic circle. Arriving in November meant we said goodbye to any daylight but the magic of the northern lights more than made up for this and we were fortunate to see them.

The food on offer in restaurants is incredible. Try something new or stick to an old favourite like fish and chips. Everything is easy to get to all walking distance So many activities to try, Coal Mine 3, ATV tour outside the settlement of town, Northern most brewery visit and tasting. Experience the place for what it is, awesome, incredible and unique place on the planet. Try as much food as you can.

Longyearbyen is unique.

Longyearbyen is unique. It is a small settlement up in the Arctic in a stark but beautiful landscape. It is very different to other places I have visited. We stayed for 4 nights and included a couple of trips on 2 of the 3 full days we spent there. It was a bonus for us that on the third day, 14th August 2025, it happened to be the 100 year anniversary of Norway's sovereignty over Svalbard. The town is very quiet and there are not many bars and restaurants but we were very happy to find the Karlsberger pub and it's sister restaurant opposite. These are 2 establishments which are popular with the local residents and are very lively and friendly with great food and drinks. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is very easy to walk around Longyearbyen with museums and old mines to visit or you can walk down to the shore and see what wildlife turns up.

A quiet place to relax and enjoy your stay. The standard room is big and comfortable, warm with heavy curtains to block the sunlight. The staff were very kind and helpful with whatever we needed. The breakfast had a large variety of goodies and the place itself has a stunning view and a cozy feeling. The Nansen restaurant inside the hotel serves delicious food.

I booked a room at Coal Miner's Cabins for a quick holiday with a friend. Due to maintenance work, the hostel was closed, but I was contacted, and my stay was upgraded for free to Funken Lodge hotel, which is much more expensive and luxurious. Very professional behaviour from the hostel.

The guest house will always be my first choice if I come back to Spitsbergen. I spent there a week both in January and June, and I was completely satisfied both times. Very nice and helpful staff, good breakfast, absolutely worth the price if you are not grown up in a 5-star hotel.
