Haugen Pensjonat Svalbard

This is not such a good place to stay. When we arrived, the room wasn’t even ready, which was very disappointing after a long trip. The common bathroom wasn’t very clean, and the place overall felt unorganized. Definitely not somewhere I’d stay again.

I stayed here for 2 nights Feb 2024 and I wish I had stayed for the full 4 nights I was there. Elena was there waiting for us at 1 with a sign saying welcome. We were lucky as we were on the middle floor and not many guests were there, we actually didn’t see or hear anyone, and the kitchen was right next to us so we could just go down and eat or drink anytime. It was one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. The room was so cozy, the bathroom and shower were perfect and again as no one was staying in room 9 we didn’t share. I actually cannot fault anything about our stay. It was about a 10 min walk from town, which is uphill but I enjoyed seeing the views etc and it was a good calorie burner. Would go back again without hesitation. Also people leave behind lots of food so great to cook there as well to save money.

I really liked this place because the owner had provided a number of nice touches that made us feel welcome. Examples included complementary filter coffee and biscuits, numbered cupboards in the kitchen and numbered individual fridges in the kitchen too. I have never seen that before.||The kitchen and communal dining area were well appointed and everything was spotlessly clean. The bedroom was comfortable and had a small couch, coffee table and large easy chair. Highly recommended.||Haugen is an easy 10 minute walk from the center of Longyearbyen. The bus dropped us at Funken Lodge and we had a little trouble figuring which place was Haugen. It's directly downhill from the Lodge. Look for the red building with the reindeer antler collection on the lefthand wall.

A decent guest house, very nice rooms, immaculate clean, spacious bathrooms, a big and well equiped kitchen. The staff is helpful, nice and superb professional. The location is very good, just 10 mins walk from the town centre. Yoy can frequentlt spot reindeer nearby, as it's their favourite place. I felt there really at home.I would reccommend this place.

The place is just perfect! Elena, the host, warmly welcomed us upon our arrival in Svalbard. She is very kind and guided us for many things that we needed about the city. The accommodation is just perfect, the view is very nice. There is a separate fridge, as well for your things. The cozy and lovely rooms made our experience memorable and pleasant visit.

A Remarkable Stay at Haugen Pensjonat Svalbard with Exceptional Hospitality by Elena From the moment I arrived at Haugen Pensjonat in the heart of Svalbard, it was clear that this was going to be an unforgettable experience. Nestled in a breathtaking landscape, this charming guesthouse offered a warm, inviting atmosphere that felt like a home away from home. However, what truly set my stay apart was the outstanding management by Elena. Elena, the manager, was the epitome of hospitality. Her attention to detail, enthusiasm for ensuring the comfort of her guests, and her deep knowledge of Svalbard made our stay not just comfortable, but truly exceptional. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, offering personalized recommendations for local adventures that matched our interests perfectly. Her passion for creating a welcoming environment was evident in every interaction, making us feel valued and well-cared for. The guesthouse itself was immaculate, with cozy, well-appointed rooms that offered stunning views of the surrounding arctic beauty. The communal spaces were warm and inviting, perfect for sharing stories with fellow travelers or enjoying a quiet moment of reflection after a day of exploration. The attention to sustainable practices was also commendable, aligning with the pristine nature of Svalbard. In conclusion, Haugen Pensjonat Svalbard is a jewel in the Arctic, made all the more special by Elena's exceptional management. Her dedication to guest satisfaction, combined with the pensjonat's charming character and stunning location, ensures a memorable experience for all who visit. I cannot recommend it highly enough and eagerly look forward to my next stay.

A cozy place 10 min walk from centre. There is also a large shared kitchen with individual cupboards and refrigerators where you can meet new people. Overall the place was clean, well maintained and our host was very kind. I can recommend it for a nice stay at Longyearbyen.

We rented 1 flat for 4 adults for 1 week in this establishment. Elena, the manager, welcomed us very warmly and gave us lots of information. The flat was brand new, spacious, with comfort beyond our expectations. There is a kitchen with everything you need to prepare food. It is located 10 minutes walk (slow walk maybe 15 minutes) from shops and restaurants. No need to travel for activities, the companies come and pick you up. Just perfect !
