Good short stay

The hostel is about 25 min walking from a town centre. It's a good pick place for a trips. Taxi to the airport cost less than 200 NOK. The firls in the reception are very helpfull.

Great stay
Very friendly and helpful staff. Pretty good selection of food for breakfast. Bedroom and restrooms are clean. Thankful to have a common kitchen area to cook food. Very slippery road on the way up to the property when we got there because of snow/ice. Overall a very good stay.

Ideal place for a budget traveler
This place is ideal for budget travelers. It is a bit far from the city center, but still in walking distance. I stayed in a dormitory. The room was not big for 4 people, but it was fine. The staffs are really helpful and friendly! I will recommend you to stay there if you are planning to visit Svalbard.

Keep my room, I’ll be back 😅
I’ve been staying there for my second time. I love that place! It’s silent, away form those fancy hotels in the middle of Longyearbyen and also just a few steps away from an awesome spot without light pollution. I’ll be back in Svalbard with a small crew to make a documentary and hope to stay there this time too

I booked my stay quite a few months ago and hadnt realised that I would be staying in a mixed dormitory. I did initially give a poor review but then discussed it with the receptionist at the hostel. I had no complaints about the rest of my stay. The breakfast was excellent.

Had two one night stays at this property either side of a cruise and I can recommend it, especially for those wanting an alternative to the expensive hotels. It is not extremely central but an easy enough walk into town. Rooms felt a bit cramped but overall okay. Bathrooms were usually available and clean. Free breakfast was good (especially considering the location). A bit more expensive than usual hostels/guesthouses but it is Svalbard.
