Top Longyearbyen Hotel Reviews

Coal Miners Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"The shared bathroom was not cleaned daily. They had a small shared kitchen and dining area. There was a washer/ dryer. That was very nice. Just bring your detergent and fabric softener. A nice daily breakfast was included. Coffee and tea was always available. I would not get the daily dinner. Most of the time, it was terrible. Overcooked, dried and salty. In one dinner, a bay leaf was left in the food. I was very upset because that was a choking hazard. The best part of my stay was the staff. They were always very friendly, kind, accommodating and helpful. I looked forward to seeing them for breakfast and dinner. They really made my stay in Svalbard memorable."

"I had a wonderful and excellent stay here. A simple and rustic accommodation, an old minors hut, basic, but very comfortable, clean and warm. Excellent and polite staff, always with smile and happy to help. I will stay here again when I return."
