The accommodation with the character of the mining era, a relaxed atmosphere, history and soul. The standard is simple, but very pleasant.

If you are here during the time of the polar night, you can experience the fascinating northern lights just outside the building.
It all started with a group of wooden barracks originally built for construction workers and miners. When these barracks were put up for sale, Mary-Ann Dahle saw the potential and bought up all the buildings. She gradually transformed them into a place where visitors to Spitsbergen can experience an authentic and unique environment. Far away from the usual international hotel standards that already exist on the island. Their goal was, and still is, to give guests a taste of the real Spitsbergen with its trappers and miners who have left their mark on the island for decades. That was in 1999 and a lot has happened since then and the place has become a small mirror of Longyearbyen's history and atmosphere. The wooden houses now look very different from the inside and outside than they did back then, but still they have not lost their authentic and unique character.
