We loved our stay here. It is a unique place — much more interesting than a crowded hotel. The breakfast was extraordinary, the staff helpful and friendly, and I would stay there again.

Basecamp is a stunning property and gives the authentic feel of a base camp ie no tv, phones, or wardrobes in bedrooms. The breakfast had great variety and eggs Benedict was a popular request. The only downside for me as a sole traveller in a triple room was that I had to pay the full price. There are no facilities such as a sauna or pool - but this is the high Arctic so I'm not sure if any accommodation has these facilities! Staff were wonderful - friendly and super helpful.

Very cosy

Wonderful and cosy comfortable place to stay. We had a 5 night stay and would have been nice to have had our room serviced at least a couple of times but not once?.? Bathroom a little too small, i struggled in the tiny shower cubicle. Beds excellent and super cosy! Breakfast very good.

Ett helt fantastiskt boende som passar bra in i miljön ! Rummen har en interiör med känsla att bo i en hydda/jaktstuga men med samtliga bekvämligheter. Väldigt bra frukostbuffé !

Langhelg i september, tre voksne. Kjempefornøyd!

Vi er et par med voksen datter som valgte dette hotellet for en langhelg på Svalbard. Vi er utrolig fornøyd! Veldig hyggelig betjening, spennende rom og god frokost. Dette var i september, så det var en svært stille og rolig atmosfære på hotellet, noe som passet oss godt. Vi velger definitvt dette hotellet neste gang på Svalbard!
