“Coal Miners' Cabins, situated in Nybyen near the Larsbreen glacier, caters particularly to outdoor enthusiasts-though town is still walkable. The rooms are compact, the shared bathrooms surprisingly well-kept, and the restaurant serves seriously good food, including their famous burgers. I especially appreciate the 24/7 availability of tea and coffee; those small touches count.”
