    italian strata
    impressive breakfast
    spacious lobby
    light bedroom
    overpriced dinner

    The Italian strata at Svalbar was a taste sensation! Plus, the breakfast spread was impressive, fueling our adventurous spirit. Loved the spacious vibe in the lobby for chilling out after a day exploring Longyearbyen.

    Our room was too light due to a puny vertical blind, making sleep a bit tricky. Dinner was a splurge that missed the mark, and breakfast could've used a few more hands on deck.

    excellent breakfast
    cozy room
    lack of blackout
    underwhelming sausages
    small room

    The hotel provided an excellent breakfast with a variety of options, although the sausages were less impressive. The room was cozy yet well-designed, which complimented the overall warm and quaint atmosphere. The heated bathroom floor was a nice touch. On the downside, the room may not completely block out the constant sunlight, so travelers should consider packing a sleep mask.

    cosy room

    Solo traveler’s cozy retreat

    The room was cozy and warm, just what I needed after a long day. The bed had the best mattress and duvet I had ever slept on, made me feel like I was in a dream.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but for what I got, it felt fair.

    mountain view

    great place but needs better amenities

    The staff were consistently attentive and friendly, creating a welcoming environment during my stay. I appreciated the complimentary soft bathrobes and the Nespresso machine in my room as little touches of comfort. Enjoying a coffee in the lobby while soaking in the mountain view was a highlight.

    comfortable room
    sun terrace
    small dinner servings

    The room was super comfy and had everything we needed. A sweet treat waiting for us. I loved chilling on the sun terrace and enjoyed some time in the cozy lounge with a good book. The only downside was that the dinner servings were a bit small, but the breakfast was fantastic! 😋
