Svalbard Hotell | Polfareren, Longyearbyen, Svalbard

Hi - I just had a short overnight between a ship cruise and my flight. Everything was lovely and up to expectations. Thank you.

Hotel was decent but the rooms are very worm and also I do think they need better curtains particularly for summer months when you have 24 hour sun. Overall a good hotel, in the centre of Svalbard in close proximity to a lot of the better bars and restaurants

Everything was fine except room temperature control. The heat could not be turned off, small room w would no be opened since loud Friday night music and revelry went on toll after 12. Talked to frond desk about heat and they said other rooms had complained and they would get on it. Next nigh the same thing. Way too hot in the rooms and no way to control it.

Very nice hotel with excellent rooms and hot, hot showers. Friendly lounge to hang out if there's an early arrival. Restaurant was excellent - delicious flavors.

Simply amazing and most memorable! We had the family apartment with the kitchen. All of us were together and yet, had the space!

Svalbard Hotell Polfareren is very centrally located on Longyearbyen's main street, close to many restaurants and the supermarket. It consist of a main building with the restaurant Polfareren and a second building across the street next to the information center. My husband and I stayed for 6 nights in the second building in room 34 on the second floor. There is no elevator, and guests have to remove their shoes and leave them in the shoe rack downstairs. The room was of a good size, clean, with a comfortable bed. There are blackout curtains against the light of the midnight sun, but some light still shines through at the edges, so a sleeping mask comes in handy. Other amenities in the room are a flatscreen tv, coffee and tea making facilities, but no fridge. There is excellent free and fast WIFI all over the hotelgrounds. The bathroom has a combination bath/shower. The walls of the room are not completely soundproof : we could hear the television of our neighbours, but they turned the volume down after we asked them. Breakfast is served in Polfareren restaurant, and it consists of a buffet with ample choice of fresh breakfast items, amongst which also some gluten-free bread and toast. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can also book trips and excursions at the reception. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and can recommend it.

We had a very pleasant and wonderful stay ! The location is ideal with a supermarket next to the place . Good sized rooms with super cleanliness and a nice kitchen with oven , microwave and electric stoves ! Overall 10/10 👍

We stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon. Everyone working at this hotel are lovely and very helpful. We got an upgrade with a bigger room and champagne since they knew we were on our honeymoon. The lobby with the fireplace and sofas is so cozy. The breakfast and afternoon soup buffet are delicious. I love that everyone walks around in socks (you must leave your dirty boots at the front door). The room was great and the bed was very comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Great location, only single bed size but comfortable

We stayed one night before a Svalbard expedition by boat. Nothing in Svalbard is inexpensive, but this was a good price for the area. Plus there was a wonderful breakfast included. Rooms are very nice as well. The staff at the desk is very firendly.
