Norris, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Friendly staff. Rooms comfortable. Breakfast buffet was acceptable. For you to know: they only promote excursions from one company since the hotel is apparently owned by the excursion company. Go to Visit Svalbard website or local office to review all available excursion opportunities.

Great location, nice staff

I would recommend this hotel. They have nice and service minded staff, good breakfast, location in the middle of everything. We had a great view from the corner room.
Margrethe, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff are welcoming and the breakfast is great. The hotel is in the town centre. But you need to walk a bit and go through a bridge between the airport shuttle bus stop to the hotel door. (Taxi can drive to the hotel door step. ) There is a grey dust spot on my quilt cover.

Nice staff, very good breakfast, in the center

Sehr nettes Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück. Zimmer und Bad sauber, alles Nötige vorhanden, aber das Zimmer eher klein. Gute Lage im Zentrum, dennoch ruhig; alle Geschäfte und Restaurants / Cafés im Umkreis.

The people working at The Vault were very easy to talk to. Tobias and Anna were exceptional. It is centrally located to all the food and shopping options.

There is nothing at all i disliked for my stay here at the Vault. I enjoyed my quietness the most. Thank you for everything ❤️
Haris, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient spot and a comfortable room. The only real issue is the total absence of anywhere in the room to put things, except for hooks. There are so many spaces for shelves, but no, no shelves, nowhere for toothbrushes, nowhere for underclothes. A tiny shelf next to the bed with about 2 square inches of space. And instead of giving you solid tables, they give you soft ottomans, so you can stack clothes but nothing that requires a level base. That said, it's a nice clean convenient place.
Ashley, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The people were very friendly. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet. I did ask for a room clean after 3 days and only the bed was made and bathroom wiped down, no clean sheets. It would have been helpful to understand there is a way around the bridge so we didn’t have to lug 50lb bags up and down 16 steps. The breakfast was a food safety horror show. Cold eggs, bacon, sausage, a food inspector’s nightmare. If inspected, it would be shut down.
Janet, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Vault is a great option in Longyearbyen. Rooms are comfortable and clean and new. Breakfast is excellent. And, like everything in Longyearbyen, the Vault is walking distance to everything.
