The rooms are great, the Vinterhagen restaurant is top-notch, staff very helpful. Also, the "living room" is very convenient. The quirky, one-of-a-kind vibe of the place is what makes Mary-Ann's so unique. Loved it.

Our second time here and we would not stay anywhere else. Funky, friendly, and fun! Amazing bar and restaurant plus super nice staff! They arranged for taxis to meet us and then to deliver us to the airport. We had a great Arctic dinner w fine wine and a lovely setting. Thank you all for another great stay!

Always Welcoming
I arrived from the US very tired after more than 24 hrs travel. The staff was helpful & welcoming. It is Easter weekend so we were told about store closures for the holiday weekend. It is my second stay at Mary Ann's Polar Rig and I will return when I go back to Longyearben.

A nice authentic hotel
This is an authentic hotel converted from old miner barracks. Inside the hotel is like a museum. I loved the every corner of this hotel. I enjoyed my stay there big time. Its location is good - not on the main street, but just a little outside with an excellent view of the valley and mountains and close by the fjord. The shared bathroom situation has never been a problem. There are plenty pathhrooms in the hallway. I never had to compete for a bathroom. Their breakfast is very good. They also offer lunch and dinner on premises. I would definitely go back and stay there again.

Great place!!
I stayed for 4 nights & loved every moment here. The single rooms are just the right size & there are enough communal bathrooms to go around. The breakfast is enough to get you through to till & the evening restaurant is really great!

Amazing and unique place to stay in Longyearbyen
This an amazing place to stay. The location is perfect. The rooms are clean and have everything you need. There is a beautiful and large shared living room with comfortable furniture, fireplaces and nice spaces to work and free coffee and tea available 24 hours a day. The dining room is a beautiful greenhouse filled with plants from all over the world. The breakfast is as good as any five star hotel that I have stayed in and included in the price of the room. We had a lunch and dinner at the restaurant and both we very good. It was a perfect place to try the local cuisine. The staff is very kind and helpful. A perfect place to stay for your visit to Longyearbyen.

A Unique Place in a Unique Place!
We really enjoyed this hotel. It's comfortable with everything we needed, but also has an adventurous vibe. It's very unique in it's decoration/layout, and is a lot of fun to explore. Staff was nice/helpful, and the breakfast is pretty good too! They really embrace the Svalbard spirit, and as such staying here really enhances the entire trip. Great location as well since all the excursions pick up here, and it's a short walk to the main part of town. Would definitely recommend the Polarrigg!

This facility is a delightfully eccentric place to stay that’s a bit off the beaten path. The restaurant has a small number of selections, but the food is well prepared and presented. The staff was very helpful in booking excursions. The pictures on their website are several years old and may not reflect the current reality.

Place is super funky but in a very cool way, with lots of arctic decor and historical photos on the walls. Hallways at night can be a little loud with people walking around into the late hours and walls a little thin but i had some earplugs which shut out the noise. The common areas of this place were awesome, very different than any other hotel in Svalbard, very cozy and relaxing, nice soft old school jazz on the radio, plenty of couches for lounging and fast internet too. Internet in the rooms was fast too. Rooms are very small and simple but comfortable enough as a simple place to sleep. The communal bathrooms and showers were always kept tidy and clean and numerous enough that one didn't have to wait to use them. The common areas are where you can comfortably hang out and relax as well as meet other travelers if you wish. I would definitely recommend for those that are looking for something with a bit of arctic character, outside the box thinking.
