Longyearbyen - Hostel Gjestehuset 102
About the place
Hostelli
We provide accommodation with peculiar charm. The hostel was formerly the “millionaires’ mansion” arranged for the miners, built in 1946. In 1999, Barrack 102 became Gjestehuset 102, currently hosting the happiest visitors in town.
Our accommodation includes free internet, linens & towels, breakfast, and other amenities.
Let us be part of the greatest chapter on your life.
We are the most budget-friendly accommodation here in the northernmost place, Svalbard.
Come see our Northern Lights!

Info & Hinnat
Ympäristö
We do not offer a luxury stay, but a 5-star experience in the Arctic!
Gjestehuset 102 is a great spot to start your adventure for trips both summer and winter since we are surrounded by 2 glaciers, mountains, coal mines, fiords and wildlife! A lucky guest can manage to find polar foxes and reindeer hanging around, just by taking a look through the window. Get speechless during the dark season, where you can experience the auroras borealis shine above the snowy mountains and fiords
Ohjeet
Good to know
The owner of Gjestehuset 102 is a miner, who started working in 1980 right in Mine 3. He is proudly one of the most experienced miners in town. He spent his first winter in Sverdrupbyen, where Mine 1b is located, and then moved to Nybyen, where Barrack 7 (now Gjestehuset 102) was established for the best qualified mine workers in town.
Arne bought the Barrack in 1999, nowadays considered as a cultural heritage site in Svalbard, and created the possibility to host people.

Beautiful views of the mountain and snow. Great breakfast spread to start your day. Coffee and tea all day which is very welcoming in a cold environment. Staff are more than accommodating.
Bed and breakfast done right. A bit far from the center.
