Russkiy Dom
Longyearbyen
All units in the hostel are equipped with a coffee machine. Russkiy Dom provides certain rooms that include city views, and each room includes a shared bathroom with a shower. At the accommodation the rooms come with bed linen and towels. It was the cleanest hostel/ hotel I have ever stayed in. Spotless and modern, excellent kitchen fully equipped. The shower and toilets were separate, which makes a huge difference, also spotlessly clean. Yulya and Sam were outstanding and quickly became "family"

Was a very Nice place. Cozy living room with free tea and coffee. Breakfast was great! we stayed in a twin room with shared bathroom as that was the cheaper option - bed could move together and plenty of bathrooms never had to wait. They had a kitchen which is great if you can’t afford to eat out everyday

We appreciated that breakfast was offered. Guests can also have tea, coffee or hot chocolate anytime. We had sockets right next to our beds.

Polfareren is a great location within easy walk of the shops and adventure activity pickups. The room was a lovely size and the heated bathroom floor was divine. The breakfast was delicious with a big range of food. The cleaning staff were friendly and welcoming.

Great location at the top of the town. Very comfortable bed, room nice and warm. Bathroom floor was constantly heated which is nice to warm up your feet quickly after returning from a day in the cold! Staff were very friendly without being overbearing. Common area in reception was lovely to sit in after a day outside, I really liked that I could enjoy reading by the fire. Breakfast buffet was really good.

If coming to Svalbard this is by far the only budget accomodation available. Bearing in mind that it has no real competition, it is still nevertheless a very good hostel. Breakfast pancakes are great, staff are friendly, it is fairly sociable. The rooms are somewhat small, but the kitchen/social area is spacious enough, and in any case if you come to Svalbard for the bedroom then there's really little point.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Staff were so friendly and let me stay in the breakfast room till my taxi arrived. I highly recommend this hostel and will definitely be booking them if I get the chance to visit again. :) Free tea and coffee all day were a plus too!
