Svalbard Hotell - The Vault

centre of the town close to everything. nice cozy hotel with nice facility and friendly staff

Svalbard Hotell -The Vault was a perfect no-frills base for my six day visit to Svalbard, including each day an activity organised by Svalbard Adventures, with pick up and return from The Vault. The front door is open 24/7, with a usually young member of staff on reception. Access to the room is by code, with a comfortable bed, a very odd TV (which seemed to show the same programmes very day), and an excellent shower. My room did not have a desk, which was awkward. The black out blinds were effective. There was a full buffet breakfast every day in the breakfast room - which became a Sushi and Noodle restaurant in the evening. I tried it on my first evening, the huge menu was surptising given that all food is imported into Svalbard. Most days, except when on the excellent 6 hour glacier cruise, I had lunch in the popular Gruene Cafe, brilliant sandwiches, and interesting people (from 42 countries) to talk to. Evenings, except for the Wilderness Evening with Reindeer Soup, at the Stationen Restaurant opposite the Kronenbourg Pub, good hamburgers. Both a few minutes walk from The Vault.

Que esta bien ubicada

Sehr freundliches Personal. Super Blick aus dem Eckzimmer.

Sauber ruhig und typisch Skandinavisch aufgeräumt.

I had a fantastic stay at The Vault! The hotel is spotless, comfortable, and in an excellent location. The breakfast room was pretty small and cosy, but I had no issues finding a space, and the food was delicious! The staff were super friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, thank you for a wonderful trip!

Excellent clean rooms and hotel staff are very friendly, they fulfilled all my needs

Mycket bra hotell centralt i Longyearbyen. Med trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Rent och snyggt. Fin gemensam veranda.

Bra, fräscht hotell med god och välsorterad frukost. Personalen var hjälpsamma och trevliga. Låg typ i centrum

Bra rum och frukost och nära till allt.

Convenient spot and a comfortable room. The only real issue is the total absence of anywhere in the room to put things, except for hooks. There are so many spaces for shelves, but no, no shelves, nowhere for toothbrushes, nowhere for underclothes. A tiny shelf next to the bed with about 2 square inches of space. And instead of giving you solid tables, they give you soft ottomans, so you can stack clothes but nothing that requires a level base. That said, it's a nice clean convenient place.

Amazing place with clean areas. Quiet. But right in the centre of the town so easy access to everything

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.

Minimalt med plass på rommet

The people were very friendly. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet. I did ask for a room clean after 3 days and only the bed was made and bathroom wiped down, no clean sheets.
It would have been helpful to understand there is a way around the bridge so we didn’t have to lug 50lb bags up and down 16 steps.
The breakfast was a food safety horror show. Cold eggs, bacon, sausage, a food inspector’s nightmare. If inspected, it would be shut down.

I quite like The Vault’s relaxing casual style. Interior of the room is simple but modern twist. Once you used it, feel like home. I like reception area’s free tea and coffee self service. We went out then came back hotel and bit rest at ground floor sofa, then went back shopping again (shopping area is just opposite side of road). We requested same room as our last year’s stay. They gave us that room was very appreciated. The breakfast was reasonable spreads. Centre of Longyearbyen town, very handy for shopping and sightseeing.

Comfortable room, Convenient location, supermarket just opposite

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.

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.

There is nothing at all i disliked for my stay here at the Vault. I enjoyed my quietness the most. Thank you for everything ❤️
