    room issues
    poor view

    i was forced to book a triple room despite better options available, utterly ridiculous! i would’ve been satisfied with a room upgrade as compensation but clearly, that was too much to ask. almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t.

    faint smell
    worn bedsheets

    The two nights spent here while exploring the stunning Adventfjorden were delightful. I particularly loved the breakfast with the delicious Eggs Benedict and how thoughtfully the chef accommodated dietary preferences. The communal areas were perfect for relaxing with a hot drink after adventure-filled days. It was also great that the airport bus had a stop right outside, making our arrival and departure incredibly convenient.

    Should you go for it? my answer

    Sipping fresh coffee while enjoying breakfast of Eggs Benedict was bliss. The cozy wood interior gave a warm touch amidst chilly weather. The staff felt like friends, always ready to assist. For an unforgettable arctic experience, this place is a must-visit.

    basecamp is like an old trapper's cabin, cozy and inviting right in the heart of town. the location makes it super easy to walk to great restaurants, pubs, and shops. the breakfast was excellent, especially the freshly made scrambled eggs. also, you can treat yourself to a massage at polar spa, making your visit even better.

    cozy retreat
    comfy bed
    delicious breakfast
    limited charging outlets

    This place was a cozy retreat after a day out in the freezing weather, with my room featuring a comfy double bed and a sleek bathroom that made me feel right at home. I loved relaxing in the lounge with 24-hour tea and coffee or catching a show in the TV room. The only downside was that I wished there were more charging outlets available. overall, though, it’s a fantastic choice! 😊
