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!

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. 😊

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!

Cheap but wonderfull
We chose the hotel because it was cheap. The beds were good, the room was ok, it was clean enough and it was easy to regulte the temperature. The staff and the restaurant was fantastic (very good food, excellent service). The common areas were cosy and warm. We usually book the more expencive hotels, but I will use Coal Miners again!

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.

Just perfect!
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 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!!

Perfect....
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 !

Nice and clean guesthouse.
it's a very nice guesthouse (rather than a hotel) with friendly and helpful staff. Shared bathroom in the hallway but there are several of them on each floor and they are modern and were kept clean every day. Nice bar/restaurant with good breakfast. The hotel is one of the hotels thats the furthest away from Longyearbyen centre so it will be a long walk, about 30 minutes, to get to and from centre. But it is a nice walk and all the tours/events pick up at outside the hotel anyway.

Johan

Perfect!
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!!
