Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Longyearbyen! The room was incredibly comfortable and spotless, with breathtaking views of the snowy mountains right outside the window. The heating worked perfectly, keeping the room cozy and warm, which was a huge plus in this Arctic setting. The common areas were inviting and cozy, and the restaurant was undoubtedly the best spot for enjoying the stunning mountain views. The breakfast was delicious, and I highly recommend their food—especially the crab. Whether for lunch or dinner, the crab dishes were the best I’ve had in Longyearbyen! Another highlight was their cocktails—I absolutely loved them! A perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. If you’re visiting Longyearbyen, this hotel is a must-stay! ##### ?

One of the highlights was the delightful 5 PM complementary snack, which was simply awesome and added a special touch to our evenings. The cozy ambiance of the Funken Hotel made our stay even more enjoyable. It truly felt like a home away from home. The only suggestion I would make would be to consider updating some of the rooms and showers. Additionally, offering better quality shampoo would be a nice touch. ##### Billie Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheila Feb 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Funken Lodge, Longyearbyen, Svalbard Funken Lodge made you feel part of their ‘family’ from the word go. They replied to my emails with questions prior to travel, promptly I found the bed a little firm, but they sourced extra padding quickly at my request There are loads of nooks & crannies to sit & relax, read, or enjoy the bar food. Background music was pleasant & relaxing & there was an overall ambiance of class and comfort. Being high up, the Resturant has spectacular views over Longyearbyen with exercising colours of the scenery. The down side is there is a steep hill to the hotel which in the snow was challenging, but the local taxi service became our ‘best friends’ it’s a 20 minute walk into the village & 5 mins by car. Easy shuttle bus to the airport (pay on board) Reception will book excursions for you, but leaving it until you arrive may restrict availability. We booked in advance our ‘bucket list excursions’ through Svalbard Experiences Website & everything went smoothly You need to remove shoes at hotel entrance, but they have a locker room with Merino slippers you can borrow (super cosy when available) or take your own/walk in socks Hotel sauna & village pool were closed due to recent Legionella outbreak in Longyearbyen as a precaution so we couldn’t try those. It was our Ruby anniversary & the hotel left a card & chocolates in our room which was a lovely touch. Staff are multilingual & most people we regretting not staying longer (we booked 9 nights). Most were 3-5 nights Definitely retuning. ![Funken Lodge, Longyearbyen, February ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A227F2ED8127AAFBD73A6D7E3F53C67F0DCFD51C1740468121035.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Standard room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/941A33289F3837B72809568EB72A09AE7EF944D51740468124538.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![One of the seating areas for bar food](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/690ECEA0301D6C78111EFC1EC346E192154467A61740468123742.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Breakfast with a view.

A bit pricey, but quality was unmatched. Perfect location, Far enough outside of town to avoid the masses of tourists, but close enough to walk within 10 minutes. Restaurant/food was amazing, but menu was a bit short. ##### Benjamin Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jul 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Marit was an exceptional hostess and offered to drive us to the bus stop twice and was an absolute delight!
