“Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

Stayed at the Blu Polar Hotel on a work-related trip in June 2011. I had a very nice experience. My room was fairly large and had a view of the courtyard. The curtains were sufficient to block out most (though not all) of the light, which was important given that the sun never set! Easy walk from the hotel to Svalbard's bars and shops. Service was efficient, and the view from the restaurant was outstanding.

If I return to Svalbard, i will definitely stay here.

“Oasis in winter darkness”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

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 inside. Remembered to bring our slippers to wear when we took our shoes off at the door - which appears to be a norm up there! Breakfast was fantastic and the desk service was extremely helpful. Enjoyed free wifi with appropriate codes given at front office. Great holiday! I will return!

Room Tip: Ask!! Heaters are sometimes too efficient, but can be turned off and windows opened to allow for fr...

“Great hotel at the top of the world”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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, had a very good nights sleep.

Had a meal in the restaurant and could not fault it, good choice and good service. There is a nice view across the fjord and as we had 24 hour daylight it was very relaxing.

Buffet breakfast was good and a good selection considering we were so far from the mainland and everything is shipped in. We also had lunch and this was also a buffet with a good selection. Staff were continually replenishing the buffet counter.

The hotel is right at the end of the main street and everything is all very close, but nothing is too far away as we walked around most of the town. The gallery and museum are well worth a visit. A pretty unique place to stay.

“Great hotel, great staff and good food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

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.
