I loved my stay at Guesthouse 102. It’s converted from an old miners housing which is very cool! It’s super cute and cozy. Breakfast was lovely (the waffles were the best). The staff are wonderful - thank you Khristin for helping me with bookings tours - she was the best)! It’s about 1.5 mile walk to the city center and you have to take your shoes off before you enter, which I really appreciate (so bring some slippers or indoor shoes to wear). I would absolutely stay here again next time I’m back!
4 night stay, there was 3 people in 4 people room, two bunk beds, wardrobes, sink. Very warm place, but its easy to open a window. Breakfast included. The hostel is about 25 min walking from a town centre. It's a good pick place for a trips. Taxi to the airport cost less than 200 NOK. The firls in the reception are very helpfull.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Pretty good selection of food for breakfast. Bedroom and restrooms are clean. Thankful to have a common kitchen area to cook food. Very slippery road on the way up to the property when we got there because of snow/ice. Overall a very good stay.
This place is ideal for budget travelers.
It is a bit far from the city center, but still in walking distance. I stayed in a dormitory. The room was not big for 4 people, but it was fine. The staffs are really helpful and friendly! I will recommend you to stay there if you are planning to visit Svalbard.
Nice and kind stuff. Enough wc and showers. Cozy social room and dining room with christmas tree and relaxing music. Good breakfast. The kitchen upstairs wasnt enough clean.
I’ve been staying there for my second time.
I love that place! It’s silent, away form those fancy hotels in the middle of Longyearbyen and also just a few steps away from an awesome spot without light pollution.
I’ll be back in Svalbard with a small crew to make a documentary and hope to stay there this time too
I booked my stay quite a few months ago and hadnt realised that I would be staying in a mixed dormitory. I did initially give a poor review but then discussed it with the receptionist at the hostel. I had no complaints about the rest of my stay. The breakfast was excellent.
