Buffet breakfast is excellent and one can load up and skip lunch. However, they have lunch specials which are also worthwhile . The best vegetarian lasagna I have ever had, any where. And the restaurant itself is charming, full of plants and friendly atmosphere.

Like living in a museum. You get an idea of how it was to work as a coal miner and an insight into the harsh arctic conditions. Cosy premisis and super nice bar and restaurant.

Fabulous atmosphere at this hotel - it is as though you are one of a science team or early explorers - however these modular type bedrooms have no sound protection and the black out drapes were not sufficient! But the restaurant was delightful with exquisite food - just make to book a reservation early!!

Great place!!

I stayed for 4 nights & loved every moment here. The single rooms are just the right size & there are enough communal bathrooms to go around. The breakfast is enough to get you through to till & the evening restaurant is really great!

Our second time here and we would not stay anywhere else. Funky, friendly, and fun! Amazing bar and restaurant plus super nice staff! They arranged for taxis to meet us and then to deliver us to the airport. We had a great Arctic dinner w fine wine and a lovely setting. Thank you all for another great stay!

This facility is a delightfully eccentric place to stay that’s a bit off the beaten path. The restaurant has a small number of selections, but the food is well prepared and presented. The staff was very helpful in booking excursions. The pictures on their website are several years old and may not reflect the current reality.

Extra-ordinary area & stay

I have spent a week at Mary Ann's Polarrigg. The staff was wonderful. From reception to house keeping, cook to management, all were great. The breakfast is satisfying. The restaurant serves delicious meals. Hotel is close to center, 10 minutes by walking. They organize every polar activity, quickly from the reception. I do recommend this place to everyone who dreams to do a polar visit.

A nice authentic hotel

This is an authentic hotel converted from old miner barracks. Inside the hotel is like a museum. I loved the every corner of this hotel. I enjoyed my stay there big time. Its location is good - not on the main street, but just a little outside with an excellent view of the valley and mountains and close by the fjord. The shared bathroom situation has never been a problem. There are plenty pathhrooms in the hallway. I never had to compete for a bathroom. Their breakfast is very good. They also offer lunch and dinner on premises. I would definitely go back and stay there again.

This type of property isn’t for everyone. But for the type of people who seek a unique style of accommodation, this property is for you. The staff, the ones I interacted with, were very friendly and helpful. The room I selected was exactly what I needed. No luxuries just the minimum for what I needed. I would return to this property again and will suggest it to anyone I know wishing to travel to Longyearbyen. Thank you for an amazing trip of a lifetime.
