Spitsbergen, Svalbard hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel has a great location and staff was really nice. Breakfast was really good and they had hot drinks available all day long. The room was really clean. "

"Clean and spacious room. Friendly and helpful staff. Fascinating location. The long walk to town turned out to be a huge bonus. Cam't beat that scenery."

"Rooms are clean and modern, very comfortable. Instant hot water and great pressure in the shower. Front desk staff is very friendly and always very helpful. The hotel offers text message alerts for northern lights and thats how we saw the most spectacular display during our visit."

"Nice and quirky place which felt like an arctic museum. Good breakfast, great wifi, friendly staff, close to walk into town, airport shuttle picks up and drops off in front of hotel, clean & safe. Highly recommend this place and especially if on a budget."

"Breakfast was great. We loved the robes in the room. "

"Lovely property, with well decorated spaces. The room was quite large, with a very comfortable bed and a good shower. Picture perfect views from windows. Staff really welcoming, and happy to offer advice for dining options / local insider knowledge. Very good breakfast. "

"centre of the town close to everything. nice cozy hotel with nice facility and friendly staff"

"Excellent experience at the Svalbard Lodge. Room was clean, although a little outdated. Loved having a washer. The staff was great. We got tired of taking our shoes off every time we went from one building to the other, but that’s the way things are done in Longyearbyen. Dinner at the Polfareren was fabulous! It was a birthday trip and they made it special. "

"I love the interior decorations in the field of the overall experience. Great staff."
