Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
I would definitely recommend Mary-Ann's Polarrigg! Great location and very charming place. There's lots of personality to this hotel. The room was tidy, comfortable, and convenient, with good amenities. The common room was very cosy, and nice to be able to get tea and coffee there any time. The staff were friendly and there was always someone available to answer questions. The breakfast was very nice with good variety.
We liked that it was located outside the 'city center'. Very quiet and cosy. Shared bathrooms where good size, clean and always had soap, toilet paper etc. We really liked the beds! Thick curtain kept the light out at night. Breakfast was good too! Coffee always free for guests.
Wonderful guesthouse. Evertything was excellent: very large room, clean, helpful and nice staff, yummy breakfast. A bit far from the city center (10 min), but enjoyed every single walk in thi paradise.
The environment of the guesthouse is fantastic and it has the most charming Italian receptionist I have ever seen in my life! : ) Do not be afraid of the outside-ish location, the road there is well lit by lamp posts and there is always someone walking around (and no, it is not a polar bear!). Highly recommended.
Very tidy and cosy guesthouse. It is located in a residential area, so if you wish to experience what life is like on Svalbard it is a much better choice, than staying in one of the hotels on the main street of Longyearbyen. Elena, the host is always there to help and always has a kind word for everyone. Can't wait to stay there again!
Lovely place to stay, extremely clean and quiet, wifi was great and the bed was comfortable. Great location, 5-10 minutes walk from the shops/restaurants. The kitchen had good facilities, just missing a toaster but we used the grill so not a big problem. Stayed for a week with a friend and had the dorm to ourselves the whole time which was nice.
Great place matching our expectations. super friendly staff and guests which made us feel good. Warm showers and building much appreciated after cold outdoor activities in February and yummy breakfast. Picked up from the hostel for all activities, beautiful landscapes and less light pollution than in the city Center so that we could see the Northern Lights. We recommend to stay there
