We loved our stay at coal miners cabin! The atmosphere was very peaceful and we loved the historical aspect of the cabins. The staff was lovely and we enjoyed eating meals in the comfortable common area. We would love to return one day.

Nice people, cosy lobby/bar, large, very clean (shared) bathrooms, a little bit outside the village- highly recommended
Rena, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
maureen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Kevin, 4-night trip

Loved the staff and the Lobby was nice/fun/clean - rooms were too basic for us....but if you are used to a Hostel it is great. Also, free washer/dryers

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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!
Linda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

3 friends to Svalbard

Room size exceeded our expectations. Spacious and clean/fresh. Breakfast was good. Internet worked flawlessly. Fun to stay in a building with the heritage from the coal mining days. Improvement opportunities would be: More hot water for more than 1 or 2 people to shower in the morning, lock on toilet room door would also be a nice feature. For the same type trip I would certainly consider same again. Stayed three fault friends for 4 nights.
Andreas, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The facility was very clean, and the staff were amazing. False advertising on Expedia.I stayed in single economy room and it gives the impression that there is a bathroom in the room and no information about shared bathroom.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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!
