We had an amazing time in Svalbard Polfareren! I’ll never forget the experience. Cozy hotel, great location, yummy breakfast and staffs were friendly and accommodating. Our room was big and had the Mountain View! Shout out to Ana for providing exceptional service! Thank you for helping us all the way! Once again, what a lovely place!

A nice and quiet hotel with the essential services. Like most other hotels in town The Vault is near the center. Staff is courteous and helpful. The hotel has a No-Shoes policy.
Sven, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have never been to a hotel where you have to take your shoes off at the door. They do provide wool slippers in your room. The local custom dates back to when the coal miners were told to take their shoes off because they were so dirty. The staff was helpful. The breakfast was good. The room was fine. I would use this hotel again
Mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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 Time

Amazing place with clean areas. Quiet. But right in the centre of the town so easy access to everything
Kelly, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Lance, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Minimalt med plass på rommet
john Ola, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Janet, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
