Purchased a winter weekend special of 3 nights at this hotel and were very favourably impressed! The accommodation was more than adequate for two, maintained at high standard of cleanliness. how the cleaners worked around our piles of gear and clothing I don't know, but each time we returned it looked great. Plummeting temperatures and snow outside, but very warm... More

We had a supirior room with beatiful look over the fjord. Excellent food from a very limted menu. The food is flown in deepfrozen yearround. Attentive (a little too much) service. Godd rooms with adquate space and free Wi-Fi. More

Stayed here for one night before joining MS Fram on a cruise around Spitsbergen. As we arrived we were told we had to take our shoes off, an amusing sight! About 50 of us all arrived together but checkin was very quick and efficient. The hotel was full the night we stayed. The room was fine, clean and well equiped,... More

This hotel is in a prime location in Longyearbyen, Clean, nicely appointed, friendly staff and excellent breakfast buffet. Staff was most helpful in booking a dog sled adventure and airport transport. More

I was there in September 2011 with my wife and a group of 10 of our friends. We arrived from a 14-day cruise Iceland, Greenland to Svalbard. The hotel was fully booked. Longyearbyen is for sure not the center of the world. But if you are inside this hotel you immediately have the feeling to be back in society. Good... More

Rooms warm and cosy, decorated with arctic explorer history drawings/stories (could be noisy if there were more guests - I believe the hotel is a relocated kit building from an Olympic village, and the walls are...

Quite satisfyed by the surroundings and hotel, but standards a level lower than expectations for a hotel in this group. Wooden floors with wooden sounds and superior rooms not significantly better than standard on mainland makes it just OK, but not better. Cannot give more than average rating for the hotel, yet as mentioned the surroundings are good, and nothing... More

I often visit Svalbard and Longyearbyen and usually stay at the Polar Hotel. It is a fine hotel having a cosy atmosphere. The rooms are all right and the restaurant is quite good. The pub in the hotel is a good source if you want to chat with the locals. The hotel is a bit pricey but is worth the... More

We stayed at the hotel after a week of hiking in the wilderness. The hotel is good, but there is room for some improvements. Some soap dispensers did not work properly and there was a water leak from one of the toilets. Dining hall which is also used for breakfast has magnificent views, here you can sit a long time... More
