Gjestehuset 102

The trip to Svalbard was wonderful experience and the hostel and its team were big part of it. They all went extra mile to help and advise even before my arrival to Svalbard. Hostel was clean, cosy, had everything what one may need, including fully equipped kitchen. The breakfast was just perfect, something for everyone. I personally loved the location, away from town centre and busy area. The walk took around 20 min but you were surrounded with beautiful nature, great views and wildlife. What else should you want? Thank you for making my stay memorable. I would stay again! Xx

Great and friendly vibe Comfortable room and bed; everything is very clean; good showers Very good and relaxed breakfast Opportunity to book tours

My single bed apartment with a desk, great wardrobe and a washbasin was very convenient. I could really rest, organize myself and work a little bit between my crazy activities on Svalbard. Breakfasts are quite good, free tea, coffee and some more extras are 24h. The stuff is very nice and helpful. The location is not so far away from the center - about 25 mins on foot and there are plenty of street lamps on the way, so no worries by night. Great location for starting daily hiking trips. If you need some more attractions, there is a bar next door at Coal Miners and a gallery (some exhibitions and an art shop, opens usually every second day).

The Vibe of this place is awesome. The staff are super cool, polite, caring helpful- Angie and the rest team have a bright smile on their face and they are well dressed too. The kitchen has almost everything and the living room too is comfy and nice. The breakfast is good compared to the price we are paying- can’t expect champagne on a beer budget😀 The bathrooms, toilets and the rooms and bedsheets and duvets are super clean- cheers and kisses to the house keeping staff👏🏻👏🏻 The property is a very cool place, spend sometime knowing about it. The picture frames are very precious and they must be seen and read. You will be happy that you witnessed some history by staying here. Huset is a restaurant nearby its close to be a Michellin star and it’s classy and yes expensive BUT on Saturday’s they have a damm cheap lunch/ dinner for only 210 Nkrone. Its their kindness and gratitude of giving back. Go hungry and enjoy the delicious steak with unlimited side dishes. The property is at the end of city so it’s a nice location to see the Northern lights- just peek from all the windows ( front, back, and both sides) and if you see them bundle up and go out in Groups. The city centre is a 2.5 km walk one way, it’s a nice exercise but go in groups. Polar bears have not been seen in city BUT Never say Never- Caution is better The most awesome thing about this place is the Guests- travellers from different corners of the world, talking to them and also sharing your stories is such a lovely interaction. The tips and experiences you hear and get are invaluable and yes you will make some great life long friends. Keep wandering and spread your smiles.

Like it really much, the staffs were incredibly friendly, met different people across different countries. The toilets are really spacious. Overall good value for money.
