It was the first time that I brought my mum to Longyearbyen and we are very happy with our stay at the Lodge. We booked a room for 4 but there was only 2 of us so it was super spacious. Even so, i think it is still a good size for 4 adults. We liked that there we could cook here and there was a bar downstairs that serves nice pizza when we didnt feel like cooking. It is also just 1 minute from the main Svalbard Hotell so you could have a nice meal there too.
Location is great, just on the main street so you didnt have to walk far to get to the supermarket. Near to airport bus dropoff point and tour pickup point as well.
The only downside is there is no lift so we had to lug our big luggages up the stairs. Lucky for us we were given the room at level 2 otherwise we might not have been able to make it.
Overall still a perfect stay, we would definitely return to this hotel when we visit Longyearbyen again in Summer.
