Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Mary Ann's Polarrigg was truly unique and memorable. The rooms are clean and have a cozy vibe, though they are on the smaller side. The staff, especially Mary Ann herself, are incredibly welcoming and supportive, making for a great experience. However, the location is a bit of a walk from the town center, which can be tough in colder weather. Overall, it captures the essence of Svalbard wonderfully, but don't expect luxury accommodations.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with its cozy atmosphere making me feel right at home. The location was just a short walk to the city center, which was super convenient. While the communal bathrooms took some getting used to, especially with the quirky shower situation, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The highlight for me was the delicious breakfast. Just be ready for an extra charge for things like heating and kitchen access, which was a little surprising.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were cozy and had a charming ambiance, making it feel like home. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. I appreciated the peaceful location, just a short walk from town, which added to the overall experience. One downside was the shared bathrooms, which weren't a big deal for me, but might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, the dining experience was exceptional, especially with the delicious Arctic cuisine on offer.
I had a lovely time at this hotel. The rooms, while cozy, were extremely clean and well-maintained. The common areas were inviting, and the complimentary coffee was a nice touch. One downside was the noise levels, which could be disruptive for light sleepers. Overall, I found great value here, especially with the delicious breakfast included.
This hotel has a unique charm that makes it stand out, with quirky decor that reflects its mining history. The communal spaces were cozy and welcoming, and the breakfast was a delightful experience with plenty of options. However, some aspects of my stay were less than ideal, including a noisy environment at night and a troubling sewage smell that detracted from my experience. Overall, it's a quirky place with character but has some significant issues that need addressing.
