Central Hotel, Great Restaurant & Friendly staff
A good hotel with a convenient location in the center of Longyearbyen. The restaurant was great, with a lovely breakfast and a beautiful view. The rooms were a bit plain, but they had everything necessary. The hotel was clean, tidy, and the staff were very friendly.

The lack of a lift in the 2nd building is a bit of a problem when you have to carry up heavy suitcases.

This is best place that is reasonably good and part of a reputed chain of hotels. Though rooms are a bit dated one can exect comfortable beds and decent toiletries. Breakfast is standard continental and does have a variety of juices, fresh fruits and breads. Property does have access to KHO observatory that lets you know about nothern lights and does arrange trips. In short, this is the go to place in Longyearbyen.

Staff was excellent - helpful and friendly. Great breakfast and the restaurant was also very nice. Rooms were kind of shabby, like an inexpensive motel. Hot tub was unavailable due to bacteria, which was disappointing.

In the heart of Longyearbien
Our stay was great, except for that one day that we didn't get to use the sauna and jacuzzi because it's maintenance day. Breakfast is sumptuous. Customer service is excellent. Staff is very helpful. The lobby looks like it needs some renovation. Place is very close to restaurants, shops and grocery store, walking distance to the water. My husband even briefly saw the Northern Lights one night. Can't wait to come back.

In the heart of it
The hotel is the heart of the settlement in a certain sense so the bar and restaurant are always hiving. The bathrooms are a bit dated, starting to be worn down.
