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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 !

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.
