"The hotel states "airport shuttle" as part of the booking but know you will need to pay for the city bus that stops at the hotel. It's definitely a walk to downtown, and with luggage, a taxi or bus is very highly recommended. Other than that, the rooms were nice and it was an affordable option if you don't mind being somewhat secluded from the other parts of town. Breakfast included was a nice amenity!"

Coal Miners Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful hotel. Clean and well appointed and the location is wonderful. Having stayed at a mainstream hotel in Copenhagen the night before for 5 times the price I was pleasantly surprised and would chose Coal Miners Cabins over other hotels for cleanliness and great service all at a fantastic price."

Mary-Ann's Polarrigg

10/10 Excellent

"The actual room is basic but sufficient. Shared bathrooms are clean and there were enough that I never had to wait. I did not have issues with it being noisy and I’m a light sleeper. The hotel itself is the treat. Pure Svalbard. It’s an old mining camp and the decor reflects that in a fun way. Lots of fun places to gather on the property—only bummer is that the sauna isn’t up and running yet. It’s walkable to town and also a stop on the flybys shuttle to the airport. The staff is incredibly helpful. Very flexible about letting you leave bags to pick up later if you are leaving on an extended trip. The restaurant is the real treat…wonderful breakfast included with stay AND I had two outstanding dinners there as well. If I ever return to Svalbard this is where I would stay."

Svalbard Hotell - The Vault

8/10 Good

"This hotel get 4 out of 5 stars as an objection to all hotels in Longyearbyen. There is no reason why they are so high-priced except that they can get away with it. The Vauilt is not quite as bad as most of the other hotels on this count. Now for what a traveler might want to know.... The free breakfast is excellent. The room doubles as a sushi restaurant at night. As a sushi restaurant, I would give them a B. The location is in the heart of town (both blocks). The staff is incredibly helpful. The rooms come with blackout drapes for those that need them. They are very clean, as are the bathrooms, but there is no desk so computer work is difficult. I have stayed here before and will again."

Svalbard Hotell - Lodge

8/10 Good

"Room was very nice. Not fancy, but very comfortable and clean. Location was GREAT, at least for me. Close to pretty much everything I cared about for my two day stay (while waiting for cruise to begin). Didn't clean room, but I didn't care. Staff was generally very nice and helpful. Only things I didn't like were: (1) wouldn't let me check in an hour or two early. (Bus driver had offered to drive me from hotel to lodge. Since they wouldn't allow early check-in, even though room was ready, I ended having to carry luggage a block.) 2) They wanted to charge hourly rate for late checkout, even though they told me they didn't need the room. I've never come across that before."
