A great stay if you’re just looking for a bed for the night. The room was warm and clean, albeit small and basic. Overall, perfect if you aren’t expecting lots of extras. The complementary breakfast wasn’t great though.

We did not visit as tourists, nor did we have the budget for this, but we deeply enjoyed the relatively affordable stay that allowed us to explore the Arctic! Special thanks go out to the wonderful staff who ensured that we had great food, amazing breakfasts, and some wonderful conversations!

Coal Miner's cabins have a great staff, a really perfect continental breakfast, a nice walk into the main part of town. So it's a little bit more quiet and relaxed. And was affordable and just perfect!

I got moved to sister hotel Radisson Polar which was a great hotel. But I was disappointed that the hotel couldn't amend my booking when I requested to reduce my stay by one night.

I love it here. The people are amazing that work here the food is excellent. It is very cozy. The beds are very comfortable. You have to be able to walk center of town is about 4 km about away you have to be able to take a taxi or they do have a van but it’s very hard to get it any time of day I would definitely come back here. It’s absolutely breathtaking and very pleasant to be here. This place is very clean. This hotel was very clean. And the rooms are big The views are breathtaking!!

We loved The Coal Miner’s Cabin. Our room was simple with a shared bath. It was so clean and cozy. The one improvement they could make to the rooms is better black out curtains. Otherwise it’s just a great place with friendly staff, great breakfast & restaurant. One of the staff set up a Eurovision semi-finals watch party in the restaurant /bar which was so fun!! Would definitely come right back here my next time in Svalbard!

Perfect. Located at the end of the Sarcophagus where adventure begins. Reception building has great breakfast including 2 types of salmon, eggs, bacon...all the stuff. Room was clean and bathroom well located. Tour was late in checkout day and they were so nice, let me use the room till 17:00 no extra charge. Definitely coming back to CMC my home in Svalbard !
3-night trip

10/10

Stayed for more than a week. My fiancee and I booked a family room for extra space, it was more spacious than I thought and great even though we were only two! The building is rustic, but very clean, and the shared kitchen was perfect for making a quick lunch or snack. For dinner we mostly went to the restaurant/bar by the reception - it's a slim menu but everything was delicious, tasted homemade, and the staff were all so attentive and terrific! It's about 20 minute to town, near enough for an easy walk and far enough to feel like you get away a bit. All in all, we both loved our stay at CMC and I highly recommend you book it for your stay in Longyearbyen!

I love the Staff every staff member that I met at Coal Miners including the kitchen staff and Waiter’s Staff absolutely amazing!! I travel a lot all around the world and I have never met a staff like the staff at Coal Miners Hotel I actually extended my trip because the Staff was so helpful and kind they felt like my family away from home!! Also, the breakfast was very good and food that was at the restaurant. Very good and so is the waiters and waitresses and the manager was very kind and helpful! I was a bit concerned, traveling alone to a place far away, but best made me feel so happy and very welcome there! The cleaning staff was also amazing and very kind and very helpful. It’s the very wonderful place to be. I will definitely be going back there!!

8/10

Friendly staff who were ready to help and answer questions. It would have been nice to have been offered help with luggage as there is no lift but a kind man who was cleaning helped me when checking out. Several cabins present - some a bit far from the reception but luckily mine was close. Dinner options are decent. The view and surrounding environment are nice and peaceful, but the walk to the town is definetely longer than the advertised 20 minutes, however it can be a nice walk. I don't mind sharing toilets, but it's difficult to control toilet floors being wet when multiple people are using it, which is a bit annoying. The shower curtain for some of the toilets could have been cleaner. Room was clean and bed really comfortable.

The accommodation is styled as a hostel and in this category the Coal miners cottages ticks a lot of boxes. The two bed sleeping areas are very basic but adequate with sufficient communal bathrooms to avoid bottlenecks. There are also washing machines available and small lounge areas where groups can relax together if they wish. However if you expect air conditioning or room service this is not the place for you. On a serious note although there is a bar there is no catering facility either at or within easy reach of the Coal Miners cottages so you have to eat in town or bring foodstuffs back for an evening meal. It is also worth noting that CCs are approximately 3k from the town downhill going there but uphill coming back! Of course you can order a taxi but this is an additional expense which you would avoid by staying somewhere more central.

We stayed at the Coal Miners Cabin between 9th and 12th Feb 2024 and it was the most convenient place to explore Svalbard from, I cannot recommend it enough. The room was great for us as we were mainly out exploring. But even when we were back in it was sufficient. The bathrooms were in the corridor and was shared between several rooms but we did not see anyone or have to wait even once. It felt like our own private space even when shared. We had our dinners in their restaurant - the food was good and the free tea and coffee helped. We spent the evening playing the complementary boardgames in the restaurant. Breakfast came with the room and it is lovely - basic but just the right kind. You'll enjoy it i'm sure. From the airport: When we landed there were 2 buses waiting outside - tell the driver your hotel and they'll direct you to the right bus. We paid onboard for a return and the bus dropped us at the doorstep. To the airport: Ask the lovely hotel staff for a bus timetable, or check it yourself on the wall around the entrance to the restaurant. The airport bus passed by all the hotels collecting travellers, just stand outside at the appointed time and you won't miss it. The buses are punctual, our bus was meant to depart at 2pm and it departed at exactly 2pm.
