Wunderbarer Aufenthalt in Svalbard
Pros:

Die Zimmer waren zwar klein, aber sehr komfortabel. Die Einrichtung mit originalen Ausstattung men von der Zeit als die Kohlearbeiter dort lebten, machten es einzigartig. Alles war sehr sauber und das Frühstück inkl.. der Auswahl war sehr groß. Wir hatten auch die Möglichkeit das Restaurant zu besuchen. Auch hier war alles wunderbar. Das Essen war einzigartig, sehr lecker und das Personal sehr herzlich.

Cons:

Nichts.

Pros:

Breakfast was amazing, common facilities are clean, staff very friendly and professional.

Cons:

The beds in the single rooms are very narrow, sound travels very easily through the building, and when it is full house one might need to wait for access to a shower.
