The breakfast was amazing, the communal areas are really cosy and there are plenty of bathrooms to share. There were also really nice toiletries. The actual rooms are extremely simple though but the bed was super comfy and that was the only time I spent in the room (sleeping), so I would probably stay here again.

Wonderful introduction to Svalbard. The restaurant was very good with Arctic fare on the menu, in a lovely setting. We saw our first Arctic fox whilst having breakfast. The staff were brilliant with a special shout out to the girl from Namibia on reception- so sorry I can’t remember your name, but it was lovely to meet you!
