Our Rooms and Facilities

Gjestehuset 102 is a great spot to start your adventure for trips both summer and winter. We are surrounded by glaciers, mountains, coal mines, fjords and wildlife! A lucky guest may spot polar foxes and reindeer just by looking out the window. Get speechless during the dark season, when 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.

At Gjestehuset 102, our mission is to ensure that your stay is budget-friendly yet comfortable. Our welcoming ambiance, affordable rates, and convenient location make us the perfect choice for travellers seeking an unforgettable yet economical getaway. 

In the summer you can fully enjoy our endless days thanks to the midnight sun shining 24/7 from Mid-April till the end of August. 

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.

A bed in a 4-people Mixed Dormitory Room

A bed in our dormitory offers a great opportunity to meet new people! The room includes a wash basin, a closet for toiletries, lockers, and a wardrobe. Wi-Fi, a generous buffet breakfast, bed linens, and towels are all included.

Please note: Our shared dormitory rooms have limited space and may not be suitable for guests with large or multiple pieces of luggage. They are ideal for backpackers. Lockers are provided in the room to secure your valuables, and padlocks are available for purchase at reception.

Facilities

Gjestehuset 102 has 7 single rooms, 19 twin rooms, and 4 four-people dormitory rooms. Breakfast, bed linens, and towels are included in our rates.
