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.
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
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.
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 stayed only a few hours so I cannot actually say.
Breakfast was wonderful
These guys up there are doing a great job.Most wonderful place, and I wish all the tourists going up there appreciate it !!! And please take off your shoes when you enter the building.
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.
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 !
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!
