Amazingly friendly staff! They welcomed me and my dog upon arrival and told us that we were expected. We felt very welcomed!

All the staff were very lovely and friendly. The Barentz Pub was really convenient - good range of drinks and nice food which was served very quickly. Our final dinner was at Nansen which was delicious. And, of course, breakfast was great - Ruth was a bright start to the day - all with a fabulous view!

Taking into account where you are 500 miles from the North Pole! This is a Excellent hotel! Location excellent , Breakfast excellent choice & breakfast Room views , Pub food on site excellent pizzas only gripe Plant based burger had No burger and was just salad in a bun?? I tried to explain a plant based burger means with a McCartney or Beyond burger included? But they didn’t get it?
