New ZealandWe are very happy with everything at this accommodation—the friendly staff, the kitchen and bathroom, the breakfast, and the travel advice. They make the best waffles in the world!
We saw walruses from only about 3 meters away, as well as seals, belugas, puffins, and even a polar bear from a distance! And, of course, the most beautiful snow-covered mountains and sea views!

SwitzerlandWe liked everything. The location was great - further away from the town and a crowd (sometimes really a lot coming from the cruise ships!). The walk to the shop was fine and we felt safe (at least in summer and 24h sun season :D), 15-20 min. The room is small, but all you need. The beds and mattresses were especially comfortable! Shared bathrooms are clean, and we never had to wait. Breakfast was super delicious - great choice and sufficient. Loved to have a free tea and coffee 24/7. Our dinners we had mostly in this hotel too - can only recommend: extremely delicious foods. The most famous Coal Miners burgers - must try. Wonderful stay overall, will definitely come again!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Our room was small but clean. We booked room for 4 people but was 3. Was ok for us. The bathrooms are enough and clean. The breakfast was rich for hostel. Everyday was the same but you can eat good. The kitchen and hall was common but the hostel is calm. In the window every morning we saw animals.

If coming to Svalbard this is by far the only budget accomodation available. Bearing in mind that it has no real competition, it is still nevertheless a very good hostel. Breakfast pancakes are great, staff are friendly, it is fairly sociable. The rooms are somewhat small, but the kitchen/social area is spacious enough, and in any case if you come to Svalbard for the bedroom then there's really little point.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in.
Staff were so friendly and let me stay in the breakfast room till my taxi arrived.
I highly recommend this hostel and will definitely be booking them if I get the chance to visit again. :)
Free tea and coffee all day were a plus too!
