Independent, Spitsbergen hotels

"Fabulous atmosphere at this hotel - it is as though you are one of a science team or early explorers - however these modular type bedrooms have no sound protection and the black out drapes were not sufficient! But the restaurant was delightful with exquisite food - just make to book a reservation early!! "

"absolutely first rate hotel and service, One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. A bit pricey, but quality was unmatched. Perfect location, Far enough outside of town to avoid the masses of tourists, but close enough to walk within 10 minutes. Restaurant/food was amazing, but menu was a bit short."

"Great hotel, centrally located in Longyearbyen. Fabulous views from the restaurant, as well as the sauna and hot tub."

"Stayed three nights. Everything worked. Had a room facing the back - quiet. Cozy (small) lobby sitting area, coffee/tea available all day. The breakfast was delicious and a very wide variety."

"As a first timer on Svalbard, the Coal Miner’s Cabin didn’t disappoint! I love how it is away from the main part of town and the rustic feel to it. It has gorgeous views and super comfortable beds. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. "

"Our room was so comfortable. We loved having a bedroom each and the room was bright and cheerful. The staff helped us with luggage and also with arranging tours."

"I love the interior decorations in the field of the overall experience. Great staff."

"I quite like The Vault’s relaxing casual style. Interior of the room is simple but modern twist. Once you used it, feel like home. I like reception area’s free tea and coffee self service. We went out then came back hotel and bit rest at ground floor sofa, then went back shopping again (shopping area is just opposite side of road). We requested same room as our last year’s stay. They gave us that room was very appreciated. The breakfast was reasonable spreads. Centre of Longyearbyen town, very handy for shopping and sightseeing. "

"Nice option of anaffordable accommodation "
