Central Hotel, Great Restaurant & Friendly staff
A good hotel with a convenient location in the center of Longyearbyen. The restaurant was great, with a lovely breakfast and a beautiful view. The rooms were a bit plain, but they had everything necessary. The hotel was clean, tidy, and the staff were very friendly.

This is best place that is reasonably good and part of a reputed chain of hotels. Though rooms are a bit dated one can exect comfortable beds and decent toiletries. Breakfast is standard continental and does have a variety of juices, fresh fruits and breads. Property does have access to KHO observatory that lets you know about nothern lights and does arrange trips. In short, this is the go to place in Longyearbyen.

Staff was excellent - helpful and friendly. Great breakfast and the restaurant was also very nice. Rooms were kind of shabby, like an inexpensive motel. Hot tub was unavailable due to bacteria, which was disappointing.
