I had a very nice stay here. Friendly, helpful staff and great breakfast. The room was spacious, quiet and very comfortable. I also booked a time for the outside jacuzzi, which was a great experience under the stars in the polarnight. The hotel is conveniently located in the centre of Longyearbyen.
