"Fabulous property. Very cosy rooms. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Great breakfast in the morning and free tea and coffee all day in the warm and cosy atrium. We’ll be back for sure!"

"I love Mary Ann's Polarrig in Longyearbyen. I had one of the best salmon dinners I have ever had last night. And I have had quite a few good ones around the Arctic. They have updated a few of the bathrooms since I was here before."

"Once I learned the kittle trick to locking/unlocking the room door everything was great. Angie and Giorgia were top notch.Located right at the end of the road which I really liked. You were only 100 yards from the polar warning sign and the beginning of “wilderness” where you need a rifle in case of a polar bear encounter. Close enough to walk to town or you can call a cab if you want to."

"centre of the town close to everything. nice cozy hotel with nice facility and friendly staff"

"Just wow; looks can be deceiving from the outside but don’t be fooled. Reception is amazing, the staff are amazing, the giant (stuffed) polar bear amazing (don’t expect to see a real one, then you won’t be disappointed). Longyearbean generally feels a little like you’ve dropped into a 1970’s film set but the people are amazing; the food too die for. Particularly enjoyed Nansen restaurant (at the hotel) for the quality and choice of food and the service from staff. Barents Bar is great too - a proper pub feel with a proper English bar maid. The rooms are basic, but clean, warm and functional. Hard to beleive your a spit from the North Pole. Breakfast is good; great choice and good service. Reception, nothing too much trouble. An awesome stay at the top of the world. Definitely a 5 star review, if ever there was. "

"Beautiful place, so happy we stayed here. Simple but everything you need."

"Excellent experience at the Svalbard Lodge. Room was clean, although a little outdated. Loved having a washer. The staff was great. We got tired of taking our shoes off every time we went from one building to the other, but that’s the way things are done in Longyearbyen. Dinner at the Polfareren was fabulous! It was a birthday trip and they made it special. "

"Beautiful boutique hotel with excellent breakfast! Loved our stay. One ask would be having lotion in the bathrooms since it is so dry."

"I love the interior decorations in the field of the overall experience. Great staff."
