Just like being a coal miner. Rooms are old and rustic with plumbing visible and well worn furnishings. Breakfast is good. Location is well away from local attractions with very limited local transportation.

We were pleasantly surprised. Spacious rooms, only waited for the bathroom once in the 4 nights we stayed. The staff were very nice and helpful. The common area/bar/restaurant area was very comfortable. Roughly a 2.5 km walk into town. We would definitely stay here again

As a first timer on Svalbard, the Coal Miner’s Cabin didn’t disappoint! I love how it is away from the main part of town and the rustic feel to it. It has gorgeous views and super comfortable beds. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

I recommend Coal Miners Cabins!

The staff and Coal Miners Cabins was very friendly and helpful. They always made sure to tell me which food had the ingredient I could've eat. They always smiled and were helpful. The shared bathrooms were kept very clean and stocked with necessary supplies. I felt well cared for during my stay!

I didn't mind the 20 minute walk into town, as I was hiking most of the day and the bulk of the shops were closed by the time I finished anyway. Superb breakfast, very helpful staff, free washers and dryers, and a very usable common kitchen facility for those who might want to cook. I would definitely stay there again.

Good value for money, friendly staff and had everything you need for a trip to Svalbard. The only thing we didn’t realise when booking was that the bathroom was shared. But the shower and toilet facilities were regularly cleaned and this didn’t cause us any problems. The main city area was also a 40 minute walk away.

Property prices were reasonable by Svalbard standards though a room without ensuite toilet cost the same as a 5 star in Dubai or a palace hotel in India. However cleanliness was maintained and in general staff were friendly I was told by email that I should first come to hotel & check in and then go for a tour (I had asked if I could do sighseeing and then in evening come to hotel). They infact told me there were no luggage storage facilities in the museum.This was by email. However when I followed their advise I was told I am 1 hrs 30 minutes early for checkin so should pay extra. As there were no safe luggage storage , I had to go back. I was advised to walk as weather was good but slipped badly on the icu roads injuring my knees badly. When I got back iin evening , I was again asked to show ID for checkin. This was terrible customer service.Also was told there is common kettle in the cabins but could not find any so could not make tea /coffee or boil water (the reception area and cabins are different and you need to go via a icy slippery path). Also no safe water to drink. Apart from that it was fine and in general the staff were nice and attentive apart from these 2 exceptions. The dinner buffet though extremely limited was tasty and morning breakfast was ample.This property is far from town but that is mentioned and a extremely long walk .Better to go in groups if walking for support.
