Coal Miners Cabins

10/10 Excellent
"This was the cheapest option in Longyearbyen, but I found it better than some of the other options. Yes it is a little further from the town but the room was warm and comfortable. I like that you can eat in or cook yourself and the breakfast was good value. I liked it."
