Summary of traveller reviews

Gjestehuset 102 in Svalbard offers a welcoming atmosphere with helpful staff and a great free breakfast. While it's a bit of a walk from the town centre, it's well-serviced by tour buses, making it convenient for excursions. Some dorms can be small.

Perfect accommodation for visiting Svalbard. Great place to exchange experience with other travelers. Staff friendly and helpful about any uncertainties. When booking local tours they pick you up and drop you back by the guest house as well as the transfer for the airport. Variety of food accessible for breakfast as well as a great coffee to start the day in the morning. Hopefully a place to come back to if visiting Svalbard again. Encounters with polar foxes not excluded.

Pretty nice place, a bit of a walk from town but maybe cheaper than the other options. If you’re on a tight budget, not a bad choice.

Nice place to stay, enjoyed the free breakfast. Slightly out of the main town centre but all tours pick you up from accommodation so no problems
