Affordable place to make your base camp for Svalbard adventures. The staff was AMAZING, if you have the chance to talk to Ruth from Bristol, you will be utterly delighted! I was surprised that even as a hostel they left you nice robes and had house keeping tidy up daily. The common area had a great breakfast and a nice bar (and hot chocolate station!) and was a nice place to chill in the morning or the evening.

Staff are super kind and friendly and v helpful. Great location v close to the main street. Quirky and bit weird, sort of ski resort mid range hotel vibes, nice lounge to relax in and a nice bar. Really enjoyed staying here.

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!
