We are very happy with everything at this accommodation—the friendly staff, the kitchen and bathroom, the breakfast, and the travel advice. They make the best waffles in the world! We saw walruses from only about 3 meters away, as well as seals, belugas, puffins, and even a polar bear from a distance! And, of course, the most beautiful snow-covered mountains and sea views!

It was very close to everything in town. Room was very comfortable, bathroom very clean. Kitchen/lounge area was great, had everything you needed regarding utensils for cooking, etc.

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"
