Amazing experience to a unique place with absolutely great accommodations
AK, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Svalbard

The hotel has a convenient location for walking around the town and as a meeting point for adventures outside of Longyearbyen.
Ronald, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Johan Sverre, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a unique and very special hotel in Longyearbyen. The staff is phenomial especially at the breakfast area and the front desk. Most of the employees were from Argentina and Brazil. They helped my elderly parents in multiple ways to ensure they had a restful stay. Thank you. This hotel is clearly a 10/10 and I'll be back again

Great stay but the airport transfer is not free

Nice modern hotel. Stayed 4 in one room, which was no problem. The breakfast buffet was very good. Lots of different choices. Staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a jacuzzi and sauna but it’s not included in the stay. Obs: the airport bus costs 1000kr one way or a 170kr for a return ticket. But taking a taxi costed 160kr one way. So even if you are just 2 persons it’s cheaper taking the taxi. But you might need to book it in advance.

Warm, Comfortable, and a Great Basecamp

This was the best place to stay! My room was comfortable and warm. In fact, I did a polar plunge and swam in the arctic ocean. The bathrooms are warm enough where my bathing suit dried over night! Breakfasts are amazing. Great selection of food and I always a solid meal before venturing out for the day. The hotel staff is also great to work with. They are very nice and helped personalize my experience while there. Longyearbyen is small anyhow but the Radiation Blu is right in the heart of everything. I wouldn't walk to the airport from there but there is a shuttle bus that drops you off to and from the hotel. Very convenient if you ask me. I also met up with friends in the hotel's bar and it was great place to have drinks and eat. I also recommend the Nansen Restaurant, I had one of my favorite meals while there-- reindeer. When staying in Svalbard again, I will plan on staying at the Radisson Blu Polar Hotel again. I've stayed there twice now and this last time and I enjoy it.
