UkraineGood and affordable hostel in the northernmost permanently inhibited town on Earth! The staff were really nice, the rooms were clean and had enough space to leave my luggage. Breakfast is also included, which consists of waffles and toasts with toppings of your choice. The location is quite nice as well, you can have a nice and scenic walk down to the city centre. I would more than recommend you to stay here if you're traveling on a budget and are looking for a nice affordable accommodation for your stay 🫶

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Our room was small but clean. We booked room for 4 people but was 3. Was ok for us. The bathrooms are enough and clean. The breakfast was rich for hostel. Everyday was the same but you can eat good. The kitchen and hall was common but the hostel is calm. In the window every morning we saw animals.

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.
