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.
