Very conveniently located in town, easy walk to everything we wanted to do or with a stop next door for shuttle or tour pick ups. Liked the room for a family stay with young children. With older children I think I’d get two rooms.
Set in the Skjæringa area of Longyearbyen, Mary-Ann's Polarrigg is built with old rigs. Central Longyearbyen is between 6-8 minutes walk away and the airport bus stops right in front of the hotel.

Breakfast was excellent. Thea, however, was incredible. She went above and beyond and more than met all of our needs. She was capable, helpful and always ready to help us during our stay.
This hotel offers budget accommodations on the Arctic Ocean island of Svalbard. Communal facilities include a kitchen and TV lounge. Snowmobile safaris, dog sledding and glacier walks can be arranged....

The location was wonderful and easy to access. It was convenient to the grocery store and bus pick ups. You do have to walk around the building and over the bridge to the visitor center where pick ups are located.
The host was wonderful. Very responsive and attentive to our needs when we messaged him. The apartment was quiet, well insulated, had everything we needed minus a freezer. The heat worked extremely well and was more than efficient.
The internet was extremely fast. The balcony was awesome with great views.
As soon as you walked in you could take off your wet clothes and shoes and hang in the mud room.
I would definitely stay here again and recommend this apartment to others. We stayed there 10 nights and the price was just right for our stay. It’s perfect for a family or friends as there were two separate bedrooms.

Longyearbyen is a fascinating place for two or three days.
Longyearbyen is a fascinating place for two or three days. It is mainly for connecting with Arctic cruise ships,
so there is a commercial-dock side to the town.
They are trying very hard to encourage tourism and everything tourist-related is very efficient and tidy.

The city offers everything for a standard quality life.
The city offers everything for a standard quality life. Several companies offer great tours, for true arctic experiences, accompanied by knowledged guides. The supermarket is surprisingly well stocked, even with fresh fruits and vegetables. Plenty od restaurants for every taste. And don't forget to visit the museum!

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.

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. 🙂

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.
