The hotel was perfect... clean and quiet, walkable to the main shopping and dining area, and we had a beautiful view of the mountains. Everyone was very nice.
I would recommend this hotel. They have nice and service minded staff, good breakfast, location in the middle of everything. We had a great view from the corner room.
Great location. Friendly staff. Rooms comfortable. Breakfast buffet was acceptable. For you to know: they only promote excursions from one company since the hotel is apparently owned by the excursion company. Go to Visit Svalbard website or local office to review all available excursion opportunities.
The Vault is a great option in Longyearbyen. Rooms are comfortable and clean and new. Breakfast is excellent. And, like everything in Longyearbyen, the Vault is walking distance to everything.
The people working at The Vault were very easy to talk to. Tobias and Anna were exceptional. It is centrally located to all the food and shopping options.
Staff are welcoming and the breakfast is great.
The hotel is in the town centre. But you need to walk a bit and go through a bridge between the airport shuttle bus stop to the hotel door. (Taxi can drive to the hotel door step. )
There is a grey dust spot on my quilt cover.
Location of hotel The Vault is perfect. Breakfast is good, but very much the same every day. The staff gives good service! I have been a guest many times, and I will come back.
In front of the town center (although there are some steps from the street). Staff is very helpful, room is clean, coffee/water service at the lobby, breakfast was also good. Very recommended.
We had an amazing time in Svalbard Polfareren! I’ll never forget the experience. Cozy hotel, great location, yummy breakfast and staffs were friendly and accommodating. Our room was big and had the Mountain View! Shout out to Ana for providing exceptional service! Thank you for helping us all the way! Once again, what a lovely place!
