Gjestehuset 102 – your cozy home away from home in Longyearbyen. Warm, welcoming, and locally run, our small guest house is the perfect base for exploring Svalbard. Every room is thoughtfully equipped with its own private sink, offering extra comfort and convenience even with shared bathroom facilities.

The breakfast was quite nice. The rooms were clean, although, quite small. In contrast, the toilet/bathroom was spacious. The common rooms are again, quite nice and the kitchen is very well equipped.
