Coal Miners Cabins

I stayed here a few days before my Arctic expedition as well as a couple days after. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable. Everything you need in a room is there. Yes you do share shower rooms but these too are always clean and well maintained. The restaurant/common area where reception is located in separate building is also very clean, stylish and comfortable. This is also where you eat breakfast. The staff are always happy to help and friendly. This hotel is a 20 min walk out of town but this is a good thing as you can’t beat the stunning views of the mountains around you. Highly recommend this place to stay. Oh and the food in the restaurant is very yummy!!

all rooms are well renovated, you don't feel its miners cabin, rooms are as sophisticated as they can be. Was worried about shared toilets, but all toilets and showers are well maintained you wont feel that your sharing with others. Hotel staff is very friendly. Their hotel is good for vegetarian burger and beers.

The hostel has a shared kitchen which is well equipped with refrigerator, cooker and oven. The toilet is clean and well maintained. Breakfast was great and room is cozy. The only problem is the accessibility from the hostel to the main shopping street in the city, which requires a 30 minutes walk each way under the cold icy wind which can be quite tough for people who are less fit. In overall, the place is still great and i do enjoy during my stay. Highly recommended!

This was a lot cheaper than anywhere else we could find in longyearbyen so we were not expecting great things. However, it was lovely, brilliant location, lovely bar/restaurant, very comfy beds, lovely and cozy and lots of bathrooms so sharing with other guests was no problem. Great little kitchen also and the shared living space was very nice and really very beautiful. Short walk into town but thats a good thing as you can see the whole town and take amazing pictures. Will absolutly be back again soon!

Overall experience at Svalbard was very good however, Very expensive!!!. Some exceptions regarding food ( reasonable) Also the accommodation certainly not as represented in pictures

I was recommended to stay at Coal Miners as it was more affordable and a quirky place to stay. It was nice to be away from lots of light pollution but in winter it felt too far away from me as a solo traveller. I wanted to be closer in the town so I can pop in and out of the accom to dinner or sight seeing, as Coal Miners is a 20-30 min walk and in the snow feels longer. But I enjoyed my stay there (except the guy snoring in my hear from next door), the staff were really helpful and the breakfasts were yum, the room comfortable and warm. The rooms are simple, just two single beds in the one I booked with places to hang clothes and rest books and things.

The lounge/dining area is a great place to chill out after a long day of activities. Breakfast was good and the rooms were nice.

The cabins are a good 30 minutes walk from the town centre but the airport buses will deliver you and take you back to the airport. They do charge. They are comfortable rooms if quite basic. You share a set of bathrooms with your floor so no en suite. Bar/lounge area was good but very limited food menu and expensive for what it is.

The room and facilities were fine. You should be aware it is a bit of a distance out of the main town.

Bathroom for shared use was flooded. Not resolved while we were there, despite our reporting it immediately. Pretty primitive accommodations.
