Good 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 🫶

It was a perfect good value stay in an otherwise very expensive destination. Also enjoy the history behind these cabins.

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"
