Top Longyearbyen Hotel Reviews

Svalbard Hotell - Polfareren

Svalbard Hotell - Polfareren

10/10 Excellent
"I really love this hotel. In Svalbard, there are a few places to stay and i think most would choose the large hotel. But I prefer Polfareren as its more personal to you and the staff get to know you during your stay. It makes it so much better. The room was spotless, the staff very friendly, and the restaurant next door (also Polfareren) is worth a visit for dinner. Breakfast (also in Polfareren restaurant) has a lot of options. The location is at the top of the high street (before Nybyen) so its easy to get to the shops and pick up the activity transport."
