Hi,
the bid is ok, although I would a double,
it keeps the bidding lower.
The 1NT bid does not promisea 5 card spade
suit, usually it promises a more shapely hand,
which lesser HCP strenghtcompared to a X.
With kind regards
Marlowe

The hand is very defensive. I prefer pass at imps, but who am I to argue with sucess?

Dbl. 1NT suggests that the lower-ranking suit is longer.

Not a bad bid really - you want to strive to show both suits.

Here's how I usually play sandwich (1X - pass - 1Y - ?):
Dbl = other suits, equal length/quality
1NT = other suits, lower suit is longer/better
2X = other suits, higher suit is longer/better
This way partner knows what the better suit is. So in this auction you'd bid 2♣ to show longer ♠.
Perhaps you wonder why it's "longer/better". We consider only decent suits as their full length. For example, 95432 is considered a 4 card suit, so with ♠95432-♦AKxxx you'll bid 1NT to show the lower suit.
