Hostels in Svalbard, Norway

nice to have buffet breakfast every morning (albeit limited food options). the location is far from city centre, suitable for people with good fitness and don’t mind walking to and from the centre as there’s no public transport basically - polar summer, no problem; polar night, weather may make the walk harder. staff were friendly and helpful. cooking amenities and dining space were adequate and guests could enjoy dinner together after cooking. there’s a polar bear sign at about 50m up the road from the hotel, and the mountain view was great especially covered with snow.

Our room was quite spacious. Although it featured shared bathrooms, our floor conveniently had four, and they were all impeccably maintained by guests. A laundry room and a kitchen are also available on-site. The property itself is spread across multiple buildings. Breakfast was excellent! While it's a bit of a distance from the city center, the journey there offers some lovely scenic views.
