Gjestehuset 102 - your home away from home! is a cozy, budget-friendly hostel praised for very friendly, helpful staff, warm rooms, and a scenic, quiet setting around a 20-30 minute walk from the town center.
Breakfast is widely liked, with simple but tasty options and standout waffles. Rooms and shared bathrooms are consistently clean, with a guest kitchen available, but a few guests reported plumbing or hot-water glitches. A good fit for budget travelers who value scenery and a low-key hostel vibe over being right in town.

Greie rom, bra frokost, og hyggelig personale. Litt kø kunne forekomme på toaletter/dusj. Dør-hengsler kunne med fordel vært smurt - knirka fælt.. Et stykke fra sentrum, men det ordna seg greit med gratis sykler fra Visit Svalbard.👍

Wir sind restlos begeistert. Unter einem Gästehaus stellt man sich etwas eher mäßiges vor. Gerne überall 10 Punkte weil alles gestimmt hat. Wer das nicht so sieht, hat unter einem Einzelvorkommnis zu leiden oder ein gehobenes Hotel erwartet. Sehr freundliches und mit Kompetenzen ausgestattetes Personal über alle Dienstschichten hinweg. Angenehme Aufenthaltsräume und ausreichend und saubere Duschen und Toiletten. Einzig die Common-Kitchen ist vom Mobiliar her erneuerungswürdig aber vielleicht steht das ja auf dem Plan. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder ins Gjestehuset 102.

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!

Once I learned the kittle trick to locking/unlocking the room door everything was great. Angie and Giorgia were top notch.Located right at the end of the road which I really liked. You were only 100 yards from the polar warning sign and the beginning of “wilderness” where you need a rifle in case of a polar bear encounter. Close enough to walk to town or you can call a cab if you want to.

Très bon accueil, personnel aimable et serviable. Petit-déjeuner tout à fait correct. Située l’exterieur de la ville, et les seuls transports qui y vont à l’auberge sont la navette pour l’aéroport et les prestataires d’activités. Sinon, comptez sur vos petits petons. Petite boutique pour l’essentiel, timbres poste et possibilité de déposer le courrier. Restaurant juste en face.

Behageligt, afslappet og rigtig godt placer et sted. Gennem 14 dage nød vi morgenmaden og den frie kaffe, med en aldeles pragtfuld natur omkring os.

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.

A very comfortable stay. Good breakfast and facilities. Be aware it’s a bit of a hike uphill if you have mobility issues and is a bit out of town.
