False advertising on Expedia.I stayed in single economy room and it gives the impression that there is a bathroom in the room and no information about shared bathroom. ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rubina 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good value for money, friendly staff and had everything you need for a trip to Svalbard. The only thing we didn’t realise when booking was that the bathroom was shared. But the shower and toilet facilities were regularly cleaned and this didn’t cause us any problems. The main city area was also a 40 minute walk away. ##### Rubina Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charles 13 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness 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. ##### Charles Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Melanie Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Celia 7 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Coal Miner's cabins have a great staff, a really perfect continental breakfast, a nice walk into the main part of town. So it's a little bit more quiet and relaxed. And was affordable and just perfect! ##### Celia Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 26 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The check in employee was outstanding ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reva 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A wonderful place just north of the center of town. Very chill and lovely rooms. I would stay here again. Loved the breakfast and bar vibe. The best hot chocolate in town— you build your own, boozy or not. 😊 ##### Reva Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Atle 25 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cheap but wonderfull We chose the hotel because it was cheap. The beds were good, the room was ok, it was clean enough and it was easy to regulte the temperature. The staff and the restaurant was fantastic (very good food, excellent service). The common areas were cosy and warm. We usually book the more expencive hotels, but I will use Coal Miners again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/127990772DDD4E3E9EC13E1D2BF7A7FB04F18CF31711372136983.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Atle Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine 12 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities These guys up there are doing a great job.Most wonderful place, and I wish all the tourists going up there appreciate it !!! And please take off your shoes when you enter the building. ##### Christine Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvia 22 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The property was nice. Easy to get to and the staff are accommodating. We got two rooms with 2 beds. They are big enough for two people and baggage in each room. The bathrooms are shared in the hallways. Each bathroom is private and has a shower. Very clean and warm during the cold winter. Never had issues waiting for the bathroom. There were 4 bathrooms on each floor. The main building had a bar and a lounge to hang out in. Tea, coffee and water offered all day for free. Would stay here again. ##### Sylvia Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I got moved to sister hotel Radisson Polar which was a great hotel. But I was disappointed that the hotel couldn't amend my booking when I requested to reduce my stay by one night. ##### Robert Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jumana 2 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jumana Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shamik 3 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Property prices were reasonable by Svalbard standards though a room without ensuite toilet cost the same as a 5 star in Dubai or a palace hotel in India. However cleanliness was maintained and in general staff were friendly I was told by email that I should first come to hotel & check in and then go for a tour (I had asked if I could do sighseeing and then in evening come to hotel). They infact told me there were no luggage storage facilities in the museum.This was by email. However when I followed their advise I was told I am 1 hrs 30 minutes early for checkin so should pay extra. As there were no safe luggage storage , I had to go back. I was advised to walk as weather was good but slipped badly on the icu roads injuring my knees badly. When I got back iin evening , I was again asked to show ID for checkin. This was terrible customer service.Also was told there is common kettle in the cabins but could not find any so could not make tea /coffee or boil water (the reception area and cabins are different and you need to go via a icy slippery path). Also no safe water to drink. Apart from that it was fine and in general the staff were nice and attentive apart from these 2 exceptions. The dinner buffet though extremely limited was tasty and morning breakfast was ample.This property is far from town but that is mentioned and a extremely long walk .Better to go in groups if walking for support. ##### Shamik Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mohamed 21 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed at the Coal Miners Cabin between 9th and 12th Feb 2024 and it was the most convenient place to explore Svalbard from, I cannot recommend it enough. The room was great for us as we were mainly out exploring. But even when we were back in it was sufficient. The bathrooms were in the corridor and was shared between several rooms but we did not see anyone or have to wait even once. It felt like our own private space even when shared. We had our dinners in their restaurant - the food was good and the free tea and coffee helped. We spent the evening playing the complementary boardgames in the restaurant. Breakfast came with the room and it is lovely - basic but just the right kind. You'll enjoy it i'm sure. From the airport: When we landed there were 2 buses waiting outside - tell the driver your hotel and they'll direct you to the right bus. We paid onboard for a return and the bus dropped us at the doorstep. To the airport: Ask the lovely hotel staff for a bus timetable, or check it yourself on the wall around the entrance to the restaurant. The airport bus passed by all the hotels collecting travellers, just stand outside at the appointed time and you won't miss it. The buses are punctual, our bus was meant to depart at 2pm and it departed at exactly 2pm. ##### Mohamed Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mornington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Helier-Hotels-Mornington-Hotel.h43989643.Hotel-Information) > > [Falcon's Nest Self Catering Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Erin-Hotels-Falcons-Nest-Self-Catering-Apartments.h29111111.Hotel-Information) > > [Mayfair](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Helier-Hotels-Mayfair-Hotel.h1748184.Hotel-Information) > > [Beau Vallon Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Saviour-Hotels-Beau-Vallon-Holiday-Apartments.h23928154.Hotel-Information) > > [The Yacht Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Peter-Port-Hotels-The-Yacht-Inn.h41380750.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Yacht](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Helier-Hotels-The-Royal-Yacht.h1652720.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Les Terrasses D'Eze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaco-Hotels-Hotel-Les-Terrasses-DEze.h23933564.Hotel-Information) > > [L'Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Brelade-Hotels-LHorizon-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h486282.Hotel-Information) > > [Pomme d'Or Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Helier-Hotels-Pomme-DOr-Hotel.h120101.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Toplice - Sava Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bled-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Toplice-Sava-Hotels-Resorts.h16230.Hotel-Information) > > [Rest and nature in Menton, sea and private pool.
