Review by hotel critic
A Family-Friendly Gem in the Heart of NatureOur recent stay at Polfareren was a delightful experience for our family. The spacious room, adorned with simple yet functional furniture, provided a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. We particularly appreciated the soundproofing, ensuring peaceful nights for our little ones. The hotel's location is ideal, with a tour desk on-site that facilitated last-minute excursions, which kept our family engaged and entertained. We relished the option of room service one evening, enjoying a delightful selection of dishes that catered to both adults and children. Breakfast was a family favorite, offering varied choices that energized our days. the proximity to restaurants like Svalbard Bar meant our culinary adventures extended beyond the hotel. The staff were exceptionally accommodating, allowing us to check in early just days later. Polfareren proved to be a welcoming choice for families, merging convenience with comfort seamlessly.
