Friendly, clean, warm, welcoming and quirky.
Friendly, clean, warm, welcoming and quirky. Excellent home cooked breakfast. Close to town. So quirky it reminded me of Banksy’s Walled Off hotel on the West Bank. Great opportunity to stay in ex-mining accommodation.

This is a very interesting fully functional Cory located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean pretty close to the North Pole. (Closer to the north pile than any other major city in the world.) Anyone can visit Svalbard and stay here as long as you like, regardless of 'nationality' / passport(s). It's great if you have money, but even if you don't you can find inexpensive food at the store (if you look hard) and there's free food left at the hostel, plus they give you free breakfast. 🙂

For somebody from South India the place can only be described as otherworldly... like going to a different planet, almost. The weather was in the minus 20 s when i visited last week and it is essential that one prepares for this if visiting in the winter. It is not exactly easy to get around in this island of 2,000 people or so. I came to my hotel in the airport bus and was picked up by the organisers of my various activities like dog sledding etc. I believe there is a taxi but am not sure it can be hailed quickly. Apart from the city centre ( which is 3 streets) other places like the church, harbour etc are a bit of a walk and one has to be prepared for that. It is impossible to walk to these places in winter in the cold and pitch dark. Vegetarian food options were available but limited. Overall, it was a memorable experience, though.

The end of the earth, or so it feels... we arrived for snow on the ground in September and below freezing the whole time. The one big shop, the Co-op, in the town is great, has everything you need, plus the only alcohol shop is part of it selling a big range, you need to show a boarding pass for your flight to buy drink though! Liked the Svalbard brewery by the harbour, their beer is in every bar in town but on a Friday you can book a space in their taproom, really good. Karlsberger pub (in the shopping centre) is worth a go too, lots of mining decor and a huge range of spirits. For unusual food, Mary-Ann's Polarrigg has a restaurant attached with (so I heard) superb food, but the bar there will serve food too, we had the home smoked tasting plate of Minke whale, bearded seal and reindeer which was fascinating. Didn't see any polar bears, which was both good and bad, it's a strange feeling to be walking around and not to be the alpha predator...

We loved the people, we met. Everyone was hospitable.
We loved the people, we met. Everyone was hospitable. And all the guides we had, were really good and dedicated. The Haugen pensjonat was, like everything else, an excellent experience. We felt everybody did their best and loved what they did.
We had fish and chips at Kroa. The food was really nice and good for the price, and the room was a local experience made of timber.
We went around in Longyearbyen by foot or were driven by our guides. Between the airport and the town is also a bus with reasonable prices.
For my next visit, I would wear warmer clothes - a thin layer of merino wool under the gloves and normal clothes.

This is a place where you should stay longer and in different times of the year.
My favorite place to eat was the mexican whith really nice made food and 100 meter next to it a great place to have coffe and a sandwhich.
If you need outdoor gear this is the place to get it.
Well I liked the hotel. It was cheapest in town. A bit on other end but you can have great scenery. Staff were amazing. They help me book Pyramided tour. Most pleasant thing were staff. Premise have a kitchen so you can cook. View from outside hotel was great. Its on far end of tiny city of Longyearbyen so on a tired day its trouble to walk and communicate as Taxi is expensive.Having said that if ur into photography yo can have great views from here.
The best accommodation in Longyearbyen imaginable! Not just a hotel but many other facilities including a huge "living room", game room, restaurant, etc. A complex of several buildings set aside from the city center yet very close to it (there is a bridge shortcut to the town). We stayed there during the polar night and we enjoyed the setting with Christmas trees in the yard. Very nice breakfasts and a superb restaurant.
Great location in the middle of Longyearbyen with many eating and drinking options with a couple of minutes walk. The room was perfect for our group of six and was bigger that we'd expected. Very comfortable and convenient. We'd feared there might be night-time noise from the pub below - none whatsoever. If we ever return to Svalbard, we'd be happy to stay here again.
This is 10/10 experience! Extremely friendly staff, sparkling clean premises with all necessary (and 'nice-to-have') facilities in the bathroom, kitchen and common areas, convenient check-in/check-out. Way better experience than 4* hotel in the same town. I hope this place will be available during my next stay in Longyearbyen!
Exquisite hotel in Longyearbyen, beautifully decorated and ultra-comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, the views were spectacular, the 5 o'clock tea and treats were lovely and the staff was super friendly. They also have a great bar with very nice drinks. Everything exceeded our expectations.
I booked a room at Coal Miner's Cabins for a quick holiday with a friend. Due to maintenance work, the hostel was closed, but I was contacted, and my stay was upgraded for free to Funken Lodge hotel, which is much more expensive and luxurious. Very professional behaviour from the hostel.
It was the cleanest hostel/ hotel I have ever stayed in. Spotless and modern, excellent kitchen fully equipped. The shower and toilets were separate, which makes a huge difference, also spotlessly clean. Yulya and Sam were outstanding and quickly became "family"
Very pleasant new hotel with a good location on main street. Our room was fine and we had a view over a vacant lot next door. One morning a wild reindeer was bedded down right outside our room. Very cool. Very nice breakfast and a pleasant lounge.
Staff have been very helpful, promptly answering questions prior to arrival and helping with transportation arrangements. The hotel has all the usual amenities (including kettles) and is very clean, room rather snug. Good breakfast.
It is very sweet and warm place to stay. Every time I travel to Longyearbyen I want to stay in Haugen Pensjonat. The staff very super kind. Rooms, kitchen and bathroom always very clean. I can only recommend.
Very comfortable hotel in a traditional atmosphere (wood, wood, wood). Nice rooms with good amenities. Breakfast is very nice and the adjacent Kroa restaurant has an attractive menu and a similarly cozy feel.
The hotel is super cute and cosy and the breakfast was the best we had. Fresh made eggs Benedict with home made hollandaise sauce was a highlight. The bathroom is really nice too. We would stay here again.
I fully enjoyed my stay in this hotel. It is perfectly located with excellent restaurant, warm and tidy rooms and pleasant atmosphere, all you need after a long day of hiking.
Most of the overpriced tours in Svalbard can pick you up from the hotel, and so can the airport shuttle bus. The hostel is clean and reasonably kept, although rooms are small.
The location was good, near everything you would need or want in Longyearbyen. The restaurant on-site and the pub were both good. The breakfast was very good.
