Set in the Skjæringa area of Longyearbyen, Mary-Ann's Polarrigg is built with old rigs. Central Longyearbyen is between 6-8 minutes walk away and the airport bus stops right in front of the hotel.

Guests can choose between private and shared bathroom facilities. Guests have access to a shared kitchen.

I really enjoyed staying at Mary-Anna’s Polarrigg. Great, lovely, cozy place. Excellent and mindful staff on reception. When we needed something, they always were near to help. Staff on canteen were super friendly. Good breakfast in the morning. Our room was in an authentic bungalow for mine workers. A rest room with good music was absolutely cozy. In restaurant you can order authentic arctic dish- seal steak and reindeer steak. Thanks for everything. See you next year 😚

    Wonderful guesthouse. Evertything was excellent: very large room, clean, helpful and nice staff, yummy breakfast. A bit far from the city center (10 min), but enjoyed every single walk in thi paradise.

    The environment of the guesthouse is fantastic and it has the most charming Italian receptionist I have ever seen in my life! : ) Do not be afraid of the outside-ish location, the road there is well lit by lamp posts and there is always someone walking around (and no, it is not a polar bear!). Highly recommended.

    Very tidy and cosy guesthouse. It is located in a residential area, so if you wish to experience what life is like on Svalbard it is a much better choice, than staying in one of the hotels on the main street of Longyearbyen. Elena, the host is always there to help and always has a kind word for everyone. Can't wait to stay there again!

    Lovely place to stay, extremely clean and quiet, wifi was great and the bed was comfortable. Great location, 5-10 minutes walk from the shops/restaurants. The kitchen had good facilities, just missing a toaster but we used the grill so not a big problem. Stayed for a week with a friend and had the dorm to ourselves the whole time which was nice.

    Great place matching our expectations. super friendly staff and guests which made us feel good. Warm showers and building much appreciated after cold outdoor activities in February and yummy breakfast. Picked up from the hostel for all activities, beautiful landscapes and less light pollution than in the city Center so that we could see the Northern Lights. We recommend to stay there
