My stay at the hotel was truly fantastic! The room, service, and location were all top-notch, making it a great choice for a romantic getaway. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with weak value for money. Despite that, overall, it was an excellent stay.

The hotel is in a superb location in Svalbard, offering views of the fjord and a short walk to shops. While the rooms were clean and had some amenities, they lacked the expected suite experience and showed signs of a previous guest. The service was friendly and competent, but some aspects like breakfast options may need improvement. The dining was fantastic, despite limited variations. Overall, good value for money amid a unique cold setting.

My stay at the hotel was top-notch! The location was superb, right in the heart of the city center with all shops and restaurants nearby. The rooms were very good, perfect for my G Adventure tours. The dining experience was fantastic with a very nice breakfast selection. The only downside was the noise from the digging machine outside due to a canceled plane connection, starting work at 7 am.
