Wonderful experience here! The room is well decorated and Lea is very friendly to offer help. Living in Svalbard is much better with the help of Lea and we definitely recommend this room without hesitation!

Modern apartment with all you need

ZhixianRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Fantastic stay. The views from the apartment are just amazing, especially at sunset and sunrise. From the dining table we could see the ocean, the mountains, and the town bathed in pink and purple hues at sunset, followed by blue light in the hours after that. Apartment was very spacious and had all the amenties we needed (and some we weren't expecting such as Netflix). Finally, our host Anna was incredibly warm and helpful, and made us feel right at home. Heartily recommend to anyone going to Svalbard for a visit!

Room in town center

MaxRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My stay at David’s was very welcoming and easy to find. Being located in the middle of Longyearbyen it was in perfect walking distance to the local bars and shops. I felt right at home and it exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an affordable place to stay and central to town.

MorganRating, 5 stars3 months ago
I met a lot of people in the hostel. It's great that they serve a buffet breakfast and have nice communal spaces to chat with people. Check in was easy and flexible. The staff were friendly. The facilities were great. And a nice walk from town to the hostel.

All has been amazing and excellent. The rating of quality and price is also excellent though the prices are very high in Longyerabyen, but if the apartment is used by four is ok!!

Apartment in Longyearbyen

I had an incredible stay at Ilkas place and even made a new amazing friend. She was so helpful and wonderful all throughout my stay. she was even gave me all sorts of recommendations before I arrived, and helped me retrieve my glasses I forgot after I left. the apartment felt just like home. it was so clean and tidy and comfortable and cozy. I slept SO well and was able to work from my laptop in the evenings while looking out the window into town. I actually messaged her one time and accidentally said "headed home now" without realizing it. it really does feel like home! the location couldn't have been better. right in town next to everything. such easy access to whatever you need. this really was everything I could have asked for and more in an Airbnb and I really lucked out. she even had wonderful little surprises upon my arrival, and an entire welcome packet. I can't wait to stay again. if you're considering booking it, just do it! love ya ilka and I'll be back soon!!
