Longyearbyen is a typical styled very northern town and this means that buildings are often utiliterian in style, rather than pretty.

The room, Superior, was nice enough, though I got the impression superior meant not so much size but provision of a towelling robe. Wireless service was... more

Before going to Svalbard, I had heard that the SAS Radisson was the northernmost full service hotel. However, I must I admit that I was slightly sceptical. After all, Longyear/Svalbard is indeed in the middle of nowhere... The hotel turned out to be very nice and lived up to "normal" hotel standard, i.e. it can be judged according to normal... more

When you book a hotel at almost the top of the world, you do not expect a first class experience. The hotel room we booked was only a standard but it was clean, fully fitted out even had satellite tv. The food was excellent and we cannot speak highly enough of Micheal who oversaw the resteraunt with total professionalism. The... more
