Experience the magic of the Polar Night
The joy of the sunny summer days the midnight sun brings is over- but hey, there is joy in the peaceful and magical polar nights too! There is still light during the day, which gets shorter until the official polar night in mid-November when it gets dark 24/7.

Accommodation with personal charm
We provide accommodation with personal charm. Gjestehuset 102 is located in Nybyen, at the top of the Longyear Valley, 2 km from the city centre.
The guesthouse, built in 1946, formerly known as the “millionaires’ mansion”, was home to the best and most experienced miners.
In 1999, Barrack 102 became Gjestehuset 102, currently hosting the happiest visitors in town. Gjestehuset 102 has 61 beds (7 singles, 19 doubles and 4 four-person rooms).
We do not offer a luxury stay, but a 5-star experience in the Arctic!
Perfect Surroundings
Gjestehuset 102 is a great spot to start your adventures for summer and winter trips.
We are surrounded by glaciers, mountains, coal mines, fjords, and wildlife!
A lucky guest can spot polar foxes and reindeer, just by taking a look out the window.
Get speechless during the dark season, where you can experience the starry skies, or see the Northern Lights dancing towards the south – a beautiful phenomenon we can see both day and night here in Longyearbyen.
In spring and summer, you can fully enjoy our endless days’ thanks to the midnight sun shining 24/7 from Mid-April till the end of August.
Let us be part of the greatest adventure of your life!
