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!

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. 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 !

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!

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!!

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.
