The Vault is a great option in Longyearbyen. Rooms are comfortable and clean and new. Breakfast is excellent. And, like everything in Longyearbyen, the Vault is walking distance to everything.

the staff was superking and available 24/7. the hotel is new/well maintained. Warm clean and quiet. A rich breakfast is available for several hours in the am and fresh coffee and tea available all day at the reception or in your room. The location is optimal, bang in the centre but recessed frm the main road. I would happily go back there again

Good place to land in Longyearbyen
All the hotels in Svalbard are a little pricey, but this one is in the center of town, close to UNIS (the university center) and the shop, and it has a very nice breakfast. Best of all is the helpful and pleasant front desk people. The Vault offers dinner but didn't say anything about it when I checked in and have no obvious signs for it. Because I learned about it only when I left, I cannot judge it, though I can report that it is some kind of Asian fusion restaurant. But many restaurants are a very short walk away.

New and clean. All hotels in Svalbard are much the same and pretty small. Don't like the bench seating at the breakfast place though

This hotel is located right in town near all the restaurants and stores, it’s the perfect walking distance to everything. The staff was very friendly and helped book a boat trip for me and they were all very knowledgeable. The room was a perfect size for two people and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was very good as well.

This hotel situated very close walking distance for Longyearbyen’s shopping centre and restaurants. Inside the hotel tiny but very good Sushi restaurant there. I’m Japanese. I’ve never tasted good like this long time. Room itself was very comfortable and well equipped. Less clothes hangers but plenty of hooks and big shelves. There were 5 windows in our room. Bit struggled to close rolling blackout screens. TV control was little complicated but gradually found out how to operate. The room was very clean and room slippers were great.
