Nybyen, 9171 Longyearbyen, Norway –

Lock in a great price for Gjestehuset 102 - rated 8.3 by recent guests.

to get started.

The receptionist's supportive attitude. The breakfast. The shower and bathroom.

Kmarkk, Hungary

Clean, cosy hotel with really great Staff. Thank you Angie for care of me, your advice , fast reactions. You are Superwoman! Bunk beds are comfortable, toiletes and batrooms are clean. Kitchen useful and big enough.

Kerrywildrover1, Ireland

The hostal is located at the end of the road, last bulb lights of Longyearbyen. Then, just 200 m away, there was that dark valley from which I could see and photograph the northern lights. Could even see them from my window! Also the room (mine was a single one) was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was more than enough for me. The picture of the room was taken on leaving, this is why the bed looks a bit messy... Everything was fine.

Alberto, Spain

Longyearbyen is an expensive place to eat and sleep so this place is brilliant if you’re wanting to save some money. There is a good kitchen here so you can do your own cooking. If you are looking to see the Northern Lights, Gjestehuset is right at the end of the valley which is the darkest part of the town. I would say this is the best place in Longyearbyen to see them, and it’s only a very short walk from the hostel.

Duncan, United Kingdom

Great rooms with comfortable beds and very effective heaters! The location, while a bit out of town, is excellent for any nature lovers, because the place is surrounded by majestic Mountains, and offers dark spots thats good for watching the Northern lights. It's also a beautiful walk down to the city center! Nice selection of affordable souvenirs.

Rune, Denmark

Warm and cozy place staff are amazing specially Pa. You can book all your activities from there and you will never find a better place with same cost.

The location is great if you want to spot the northern lights... Of course, this comes at a price: you're far away from the centre, something like 2 km. I got used to it and to walk up and down the road for half an hour with temperatures of 15 or 20 minus, but not everybody would enjoy the plan. Also, upon my arrival, I was urged by the staff to buy a yellow securify vest (something like 65 kron, don't remember the exact amount). I asked if it was compulsory and they answered yes, the Governor stated that rule during the polar night. I don't doubt about it, but night is night everywhere in the world, the main difference here is it being followed by more night. Ok, I bought the thing and wore it only the first day, afterwards I felt freaky and left it at the bottom of my backpack. Useless purchase (except for the hostel) in my humble opinion.
The hostal is located at the end of the road, last bulb lights of Longyearbyen. Then, just 200 m away, there was that dark valley from which I could see and photograph the northern lights. Could even see them from my window! Also the room (mine was a single one) was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was more than enough for me.

It is a long walk (about 30 minutes) into the centre of Longyearbyen where the shops and supermarket are, but it’s not at all unsafe.
