Hotels With Parking in Svalbard, Norway

I stayed in a 4-person dormitory, and while it was okay for me, the space for suitcases was limited. It could get quite challenging if all guests had large suitcases, so I'd recommend bringing a backpack instead, as you can also use the lockers provided. I was on the top bunk, which meant I had to use a power bank to charge my phone. The shared kitchen area had a fantastic vibe, and I really enjoyed chatting and socializing with other guests there. For transportation in Svalbard, you can take a bus or taxi between the airport and the city center. Conveniently, a bus stop is right next to the hotel. Although it's a bit outside the main town, the prices are reasonable, and the breakfast is delicious, so I'd definitely recommend it.

I arrived in late May. The weather was mostly cloudy to overcast, with temperatures hovering around zero degrees Celsius. Surprisingly, it didn't feel bitterly cold – the kind of zero where you don't need a heavy down jacket and can still be comfortable in single-layer pants. Compared to the UK (I'd just come from Shetland), the wind wasn't strong either. It was quite pleasant to walk along the beach and stroll through the town. However, the beachfront itself was rather bleak and neglected, a mix of muddy broken rocks, and some patches of un-melted ice. It was incredibly quiet, save for the occasional sound of what I think were wild ducks. The room was pretty standard. The heating was only so-so, usually cutting out once the room reached 20°C. The shower pressure was also quite weak. Since the accommodation is built entirely from repurposed shipping containers, I could clearly hear every sound and movement from the room above mine (I was on the ground floor). That said, for this time of year, paying 1300 RMB for a room that included a very decent breakfast, at one of the world's northernmost locations, and enjoying the unique experience of a cigarette under the midnight sun – it was ultimately well worth the price.

The guest rooms are divided into several buildings. Since they were in separate buildings, I wore warm winter clothes when I needed to go to the reception building for meals or other reasons. As a result, the separate buildings were only occupied by guests and kept quiet. Also, since they were far from the city center, there were no other people around. Each building had a shared shower, toilet, refrigerator, kitchen, and kettle. There were no TVs, but the Wi-Fi was strong and not an issue. Breakfast was a buffet, and the quality and quantity of food was more than enough.

Amazing choice if you prefer single rooms over shared dormitory hostels. Medium-sized rooms, with clean bathrooms. The location is good as it is not too far from the town center. The breakfast buffet is delicious.

The hotel restaurant is great, the room is very warm and has a snow view. It is suitable for two people to live in. The hotel breakfast is very good. There is free tea in the lobby. It is very Nordic style. The room has good hot water and a bathtub. Recommended for the Arctic region

A warm and comfortable place, the most kind is that there is a beautiful girl at the front desk who has been working hard to help me in Chinese, which makes me feel relaxed and kind without foreign languages.

Breakfast was rich! Choose a lot of these! This hotel is the only 4-star hotel in Svalbard! There are saunas and outdoor baths! It's warm inside the hotel! Also close to the local supermarket! Environmental facilities are really good, love his sauna! It's so comfortable!

This is a camping wooden house and the overall atmosphere is very good. This hotel also includes breakfast, and overall we are very satisfied. The house is large and there is a kitchen, so we are very convenient to cook. Recommended

I set a bedroom. The result is that there are two rooms. The special surprise. The living room has a large space. You can simply cook some meals. The bathroom is also very spacious. The heating in the room is very good. The point is that the location is very convenient. The supermarket is downstairs!
