At Coal Miners’ Cabins, guest accommodations are located in annex buildings. Each have access to shared bathrooms, kitchen, laundry facilities and a common living room. All rooms feature a mountain view This is actually the place I always wanted to stay when I'm in Svalbard. Everything was perfect, warm and cozy room with a cool view from the window. Walking distance from the center of Longyearbyen, which was quite refreshing and invigorating. Cool attitude from the people at the reception and good food for breakfast and dinner. Fair price, quality - I recommend! And bonus, if you are lucky enough to have the Northern Lights you are a few steps away in a relatively dark area where you can see them well!
