Single Room

with shared bathroom
A bed in this cozy room provides the perfect spot to rest, whether during the endless polar night or day. As Gjestehuset 102 was once the “millionaires’ mansion” for the most experienced miners, the standard was always higher, with each room featuring its own washbasin. This tradition continues today, with added storage space and a desk if you need to work. Wi-Fi, a generous buffet breakfast, bed linens, and towels are all included in the price.
 
Shared bathrooms and toilets are conveniently located in the corridors on both floors, and hairdryers are available to borrow from the reception.

Twin Room

with shared bathroom
Our standard room for two offers comfortable beds and a basin with a mirror, reflecting the way “millionaire” miners lived in this former miners’ barrack 50 years ago. This room combines historical charm with comfort for a great stay.
We offer two types of bed set-ups in our two-person rooms. The traditional twin beds, dating back to when Gjestehuset 102 was the miners’ “millionaires’ mansion,” are solid wooden constructions that easily convert into sofas; or two single beds (90cm), which can be moved together. These rooms also feature washbasins, a standard when Gjestehuset 102 served as high-standard housing for Longyearbyen’s miners.
