I really love this hotel. In Svalbard, there are a few places to stay and i think most would choose the large hotel. But I prefer Polfareren as its more personal to you and the staff get to know you during your stay. It makes it so much better. The room was spotless, the staff very friendly, and the restaurant next door (also Polfareren) is worth a visit for dinner. Breakfast (also in Polfareren restaurant) has a lot of options. The location is at the top of the high street (before Nybyen) so its easy to get to the shops and pick up the activity transport.

We had a wonderful stay of 4 nights. This hotel has a family atmosphere and the staff were so warm and friendly. On our day of departure, they even helped us prepare a lunch box which we paid for. Such a personalized service was touching.

Nice hotel that I would recommend, only gripe was a large crack in our bathroom sink, no alternative milk, and sausages at breakfast were a bit lame. Also the noise from traffic in the car park over the gravel was a bit annoying, should be tarmac. Great location and staff were lovely, the free coffee throughout the day was a nice touch :)

My expectations were met. Stable and fast WiFi. Friendly staff and efficient service. Be aware when you book a standard room, you will end up in a separate building across the street, which has no elevator. This also means changing between slippers and street shoes every time. My standard room did not have a walk-in shower, but a bathtub with shower head and glass wall. This type of bathroom is not shown in any of the pictures. The breakfast is satisfying with a good variety, however there is no latte or cappuccino to be found. Just black coffee with plain milk. For the room rate i expected to be more options. The blackout roller blinds do not make the room completely dark during midnight sun period.

Great location for walking anywhere in town. Front desk staff was very helpful. Breakfast was OK but not great. A huge plus for us was that the windows open to let in fresh air. Removal of shoes is required at the entrance, I strongly recommend bringing your own slippers.

Great Stay

Stayed three nights. Everything worked. Had a room facing the back - quiet. Cozy (small) lobby sitting area, coffee/tea available all day. The breakfast was delicious and a very wide variety.
