Coal Miners Cabins

The property was nice. Easy to get to and the staff are accommodating. We got two rooms with 2 beds. They are big enough for two people and baggage in each room. The bathrooms are shared in the hallways. Each bathroom is private and has a shower. Very clean and warm during the cold winter. Never had issues waiting for the bathroom. There were 4 bathrooms on each floor. The main building had a bar and a lounge to hang out in. Tea, coffee and water offered all day for free. Would stay here again.

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!

The check in employee was outstanding

A wonderful place just north of the center of town. Very chill and lovely rooms. I would stay here again. Loved the breakfast and bar vibe. The best hot chocolate in town— you build your own, boozy or not. 😊

TOP!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

Friendly staff. Inconveniently located out of town.

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!!

I stayed only a few hours so I cannot actually say. Breakfast was wonderful

This place is a little different and a good 15 minutes walk to . Shared bathroom but everything was super clean

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Simple but clean. Excellent buffet breakfast. Great location away from town centre. Very friendly staff.

A bit dirty under the bed. Resorces (e.g. water) waste

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 !
