Israel
It was the cleanest hostel/ hotel I have ever stayed in. Spotless and modern, excellent kitchen fully equipped. The shower and toilets were separate, which makes a huge difference, also spotlessly clean. Yulya and Sam were outstanding and quickly became "family"

Sweden
The staff was excellent! They gave us a bigger room because we were with a child, but they didn't charge for a room upgrade. Rooms are clean, hot in the rooms. The breakfast is very good! We checked out of the hostel at 5 am. All those who flew with us on this flight, the hostel staff made breakfast for us. Although according to the rules breakfast starts at 7 am. Thanks to the staff for the best service! I would also like to say that every evening at 18.00 and 18.30 a bus leaves from the Raddison Hotel to Coal Miners Cabins. This is very convenient, because in the evening when a person is tired, there is an opportunity to get to the hostel for free.

- Avg. price/night: € 124.508.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 932 reviewsIf coming to Svalbard this is by far the only budget accomodation available. Bearing in mind that it has no real competition, it is still nevertheless a very good hostel. Breakfast pancakes are great, staff are friendly, it is fairly sociable. The rooms are somewhat small, but the kitchen/social area is spacious enough, and in any case if you come to Svalbard for the bedroom then there's really little point.DarrynSolo traveller
- Avg. price/night: € 167.288.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 1,451 reviewsThe place has a lot of atmosphere. The bed narrow but perfectly comfortable. Very good breakfast. Never needed to wait for using the shared bathroom. The hotel reminded me a lot of an Australian backpacker hostel.
