3 friends to Svalbard

Room size exceeded our expectations. Spacious and clean/fresh. Breakfast was good. Internet worked flawlessly. Fun to stay in a building with the heritage from the coal mining days. Improvement opportunities would be: More hot water for more than 1 or 2 people to shower in the morning, lock on toilet room door would also be a nice feature. For the same type trip I would certainly consider same again. Stayed three fault friends for 4 nights.

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!!

Grei overnatting, noe slitt, men savnet egent toalett og dusj.
Lillan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Chambre impeccable calme. Pour le petit déjeuner faut affronter le froid chaque matin. Le soir la ville étant un peu loin à pied on a la possibilité de prendre aussi des repas sur place. Machine à laver et sèche linge non négligeable et très apprécié
Patrick, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bodde där två nätter inför en expeditionskryssning i tjänsten. Var mest på rummet för att sova. Rummen är uppdelade på olika hus. Ligger en 20-minuterspromenad från själva byns "centrum". Rummen skulle kunna vara lite mindre kala. Nu är det ju ett hotell och inte ett vandrarhem, men känns mer som ett vandrarhem. Så lite mer effort på inredningen skulle man kunna tycka. Bara för att få en lite varmare känsla. Det är också lyhört. Så vet man med sig att man vaknar lätt så bör man gardera sig med öronproppar. Glad att det ingick frukost men den var ganska torftig så även den skulle behöva ett lyft. Incheckningen gick bra och personalen är trevlig.

Självklart val av boende i Longyearbyen

Autentiskt boende med bra service, särskilt städning och frukost. Köket i Barack 1 är aningen litet och saknar frys men fungerar bra om du ändå inte hinner laga mat ”hemma”.

En oas av lugn och gästvänlighet

Enkelt boende men dock mycket funktionellt. Sköna sängar, rent och snygg, ett välkomnande och inkluderande bemötande, mycket prisvärd, exotisk och harmoniskt
Ulla, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fint hostel, men noe lytt til rommene.

Dette er jo ikke noe hotell, og er 1/4 av prisen til noen av hotellene i sentrum. Rommet er rent og pent, og dusj og do i gangen fungerer helt fint. Man hører alle som går forbi, men jeg sover alltid med øreplugger på hostels av denne grunn. Frokosten er som forventet angående innhold. Men det var ingen som ryddet bord og ryddet i frokosten, så dette så noe rotete ut! Dette kunne de enkelt ha ordnet med at noen fulgte med under frokost. Med tanke på prisen er jeg fornøyd, og bor her gjerne igjen.

Väldigt bra

Väldigt dyrt, men på Svalbard väldigt billigt. Jag tycker överlag att det var väldigt bra. Frukosten är underbar, man kan också göra mellanmål inför sin dag.

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

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.
