I had a fantastic stay at The Vault! The hotel is spotless, comfortable, and in an excellent location. The breakfast room was pretty small and cosy, but I had no issues finding a space, and the food was delicious! The staff were super friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, thank you for a wonderful trip!

Great location. Friendly staff. Rooms comfortable. Breakfast buffet was acceptable. For you to know: they only promote excursions from one company since the hotel is apparently owned by the excursion company. Go to Visit Svalbard website or local office to review all available excursion opportunities.

Svalbard Hotell -The Vault was a perfect no-frills base for my six day visit to Svalbard, including each day an activity organised by Svalbard Adventures, with pick up and return from The Vault. The front door is open 24/7, with a usually young member of staff on reception. Access to the room is by code, with a comfortable bed, a very odd TV (which seemed to show the same programmes very day), and an excellent shower. My room did not have a desk, which was awkward. The black out blinds were effective. There was a full buffet breakfast every day in the breakfast room - which became a Sushi and Noodle restaurant in the evening. I tried it on my first evening, the huge menu was surptising given that all food is imported into Svalbard. Most days, except when on the excellent 6 hour glacier cruise, I had lunch in the popular Gruene Cafe, brilliant sandwiches, and interesting people (from 42 countries) to talk to. Evenings, except for the Wilderness Evening with Reindeer Soup, at the Stationen Restaurant opposite the Kronenbourg Pub, good hamburgers. Both a few minutes walk from The Vault.

Staff are welcoming and the breakfast is great. The hotel is in the town centre. But you need to walk a bit and go through a bridge between the airport shuttle bus stop to the hotel door. (Taxi can drive to the hotel door step. ) There is a grey dust spot on my quilt cover.

Convenient spot and a comfortable room. The only real issue is the total absence of anywhere in the room to put things, except for hooks. There are so many spaces for shelves, but no, no shelves, nowhere for toothbrushes, nowhere for underclothes. A tiny shelf next to the bed with about 2 square inches of space. And instead of giving you solid tables, they give you soft ottomans, so you can stack clothes but nothing that requires a level base. That said, it's a nice clean convenient place.
