    Liked : Clean and friendly hostel with good kitchen, showers, laundry machine. Comfy beds, good pillows, amazing staff. We recommend a longer stay in Barentsburg to taste some of its vibe of humble, genuine, peaceful, friendly creativity in an amazing setting. We stayed one week, could easily have stayed longer. We will be back! Thank you!

    A great stay in the remote Barentsburg

    Liked : The staff is great! Kristina was super helpful and told us a bit about life in Barentsburg.

    Disliked : The safe for rifle and flare gun is next door in the hotel and the reception was closed between 19 and 9. So plan your late evening and early morning trips well. The staff agrees to come and open the safe if you tell them the exact time though, so once again staff is very helpful. We just felt bad making Kristina wake up at 7 only to come and open the safe for us.

    Nice facilities - laundry and dryer option, kitchen after renovation
    Backout curtains - necessary in summer time during polar day
