The hotel is themed as an original Trappers Lodge and is beautiful inside with lots of wood and authentic look. The rooms are consistent with the theme and are small and highly unusual, being on two tiers, double bunk beds and bathroom. If it was a regular hotel in another place, the rooms and facilities would be a 2/5. But... More

Decorated "Trapper's" style with split log walls, packing crate ceilings and bits of radio gear splashed about. As with all places in Longyearbyen, the service is with a smile. Beds are comfortable but with -18 outside, you will always sleep well. Kroa restaurant (attached) is buzzing with explorers, would-be explorers and people who just want to stand around looking good.... More

We have just returned and are thoroughly depressed to have left this incredible place - with amazing people. Thank you so so much - we are saving to come back! The rooms were rustic and beautiful, made from driftwood! There is a restaurant attached but otherwise the location is perfect for other places too. As for theexperience - sigh!

Norway is an expensive country, however this place proved to be great value for money offering warm, cosy and comfortable accommodation with good breakfast, free coffee and biscuits and friendly and helpful staff who will organise trips and outings for you. The staff gave us a surprise present and postcard as it was our honeymoon there and found it very... More

We just stayed at basecamp trappers for the last three nights. Its a rustic wooden hotel with heaps of character. Most the staff are really friendly and go out of their way to help you. The rooms are wooden,warm and cosy. Though we found a dirty pair of lacey knickers between our two mattresses which u would definately find if... More

This is a dual review, both of the Trapper's Hotel and the snowmobile expedition that they organised for us. Our experience started when we made a request for a short stay at the Trapper's Lodge coupled with an overnight snowmobile excursion to the ship in the ice. The minimum amount of guests on the Basecamp Spitsbergen excursions is four and... More

Cute room but very expensive at £250 per night for small bunk beds and half hearted breakfast. Rooms are fun designed but not great tbh..they make you smile when you go in at the styling, but grimace as you leave at the comfort. Staff are superficially friendly and shake your hand with a big smile when you arrive. Don't try... More

Stayed here in 2010 for a brief night before heading further north. It wasn't the cheapest hotel but it was definitely worth the money. Its right in the centre of Longyearben and its clean and comfy. Not all of the windows have blinds though so if you haven't adjusted to sleeping in 24hr sunlight then remember a sleeping mask or... More

Wonderful hotel, you don't really want to leave, it feels very much like being home, having to take your shoes off at the entrance. There is this room at the top of the hotel where you can look at the night sky, and have a cognac while you do it (we brought our own just in case). Svalbard is a... More
