Bear Island Vacations from $927

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.

Most gorgeous hotel with wonderful staff and I think the best breakfast buffet I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back. First class.

Located at the heart of the town center, steps from the superb grocery store and restaurants. Very helpful staff. Small room with two very comfortable individual sofa/chair.

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.

The hotel/ lodge is in a fabulous location in the middle of town. Front desk staff are very rude & curt. It’s very trying to get help to take luggage up & down the narrow flight of stairs if you’re staying in the apartment. For elderly people it is not easy to carry their bags up the stairs let alone carry them down. If I had known about this issue I would never have booked in this hotel.
