First time visitor to Longyearbyen. The hotel is very central. Rooms are not big but corner rooms have two walls of windows! Breakfast buffet is excellent but the coffee…undrinkable. Maybe it’s Norwegian style? Great coffee at the Husky Cafe across the street though!

Great for exploring
The hotel is perfect for exploring. The bar & restaurant are at a very high level. The room didn’t have aircon that we could control in the room, it did get really hot in the evening. Also it was a shame there was no gym but only a minor detail.

Very comfortable hotel choice in Longyearbyen
Extremely helpful, pleasant and friendly staff. Happy to book any & all excursions from the front desk and just generally very welcoming. The location is excellent, near to the museum/harbour, but also at the end of the main street, so easy to get anywhere by foot in a few minutes. All excursions use the hotel as a pick up point as well as the airport bus. Attached to the hotel are a Gastropub & a bit more of an upscale restaurant. Both were excellent, depending on what you're looking for. Breakfast was within this restaurant and was wide ranging and very nice. Lastly, to have a Jacuzzi/Sauna on site is a very nice bonus and to sit out in the Jacuzzi watching the sun go down with the mountains in the background is really fantastic

Warm, Comfortable, and a Great Basecamp
This was the best place to stay! My room was comfortable and warm. In fact, I did a polar plunge and swam in the arctic ocean. The bathrooms are warm enough where my bathing suit dried over night! Breakfasts are amazing. Great selection of food and I always a solid meal before venturing out for the day. The hotel staff is also great to work with. They are very nice and helped personalize my experience while there. Longyearbyen is small anyhow but the Radiation Blu is right in the heart of everything. I wouldn't walk to the airport from there but there is a shuttle bus that drops you off to and from the hotel. Very convenient if you ask me. I also met up with friends in the hotel's bar and it was great place to have drinks and eat. I also recommend the Nansen Restaurant, I had one of my favorite meals while there-- reindeer. When staying in Svalbard again, I will plan on staying at the Radisson Blu Polar Hotel again. I've stayed there twice now and this last time and I enjoy it.
