Home away from home - Room 1
Wonderful experience here! The room is well decorated and Lea is very friendly to offer help. Living in Svalbard is much better with the help of Lea and we definitely recommend this room without hesitation!

Shared room in town center
My stay at David’s was very welcoming and easy to find. Being located in the middle of Longyearbyen it was in perfect walking distance to the local bars and shops. I felt right at home and it exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an affordable place to stay and central to town.

Gjestehuset102- A bed in a Dorm
I met a lot of people in the hostel. It's great that they serve a buffet breakfast and have nice communal spaces to chat with people. Check in was easy and flexible. The staff were friendly. The facilities were great. And a nice walk from town to the hostel.

Your home in the Arctic
The apartment was absolutely fantastic – tastefully decorated, very clean and incredibly inviting. The bed was super comfortable, and there was soap in the shower, as well as everything you could need in the kitchen: coffee, tea, spices, bags and more. Everything was in place and well thought out - we felt at home right away. Vårin and Aleksander have really created a perfect place to stay in Longyearbyen. Highly recommended!

This was a lovely place to stay for a few days in Svalbard! The location is great - close to all the restaurants, shops, and other points of interest. I liked the unit itself, too. It is spacious with good amenities. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a comfortable and fun place to stay for their trip.
