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.

Surroundings
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

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.

Hello,
Everything is perfect and in particular the reception of an extremely friendly staff. On the other hand, the state of the kitchen leaves something to be desired! It's greasy and I don't see how the staff could clean it better because it's ancient! Pan

Good Inn, clean and pleasant, only reservation: it lacks soul.
It's more of a hotel than a hostel, bedroom suites in long corridors.
The dining room is cold and the sofa room is still warmer.

I had no wifi. The sheets and the room in general smelled bad, like a hospital. And the bathroom left to be desired because the shower had no support, that is, you showered on the floor and soaked the whole bathroom.
I would not return.
