"I have to say the building was spotless! The staff were very helpful. They phoned to get taxis and helped us where we wanted to go. The breakfast was good with a variety of food and drinks. When we were leaving they helped us find a place for our luggage so we didn't have to drag our bags around before we left. I can only praise them for being excellent!"

Mary-Ann's Polarrigg

Mary-Ann's Polarrigg

8/10 Good
"This is a classic and funky place in Longyearbyen and probably worth considering for that reason alone. The staff were very helpful and the food was wonderful. The main downside was the incredible expense particularly for a tiny room w a shared bathroom/ toilet. The town is expensive generally given its remote location but it is hard to justify charging as much as they do nonetheless."
