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.
The room was spacious and clean. We appreciated that they provided bathrobes as the bathrooms are shared. The breakfast was good also. The walk to town where the stores/restaurants are is a little over a mile, but not hard.
The staff was pleasant and helpful. They even called a taxi for us when we checked out.
Friendly welcome. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Accommodation was comfortable and very warm. Bar area was a great place to relax and play some games with my 6year old.
Dinner was tasty. Breakfast was good. Enough choice for our family. Great value accommodation.
+ Exceptional service from the reception.
+ Clean and warm room
+ Bathrooms in the corridor were kept tidy.
+ Tidy House keeping

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!
We stayed 3 nights in a family room which has 3 beds. Room is spacious and clean. Reception staff is nice and friendly. Buffet breakfast is included, won't be too many choices but considering this is in arctic circle that resources don't come easy. Surprisingly it is not noisy, as contrary to my expectation that wooden cabin has thin walls. Bus to airport starts from the reception area, so very convenient.
We loved our stay at coal miners cabin! The atmosphere was very peaceful and we loved the historical aspect of the cabins. The staff was lovely and we enjoyed eating meals in the comfortable common area. We would love to return one day.
