Funken Lodge

The hotel is set back from the more dense area of Longyearbyen. It's a lovely, quiet and relaxing place to stay. The food is great at breakfast and if you choose to eat dinner. You can also order a meal from the bar if you want a low key night. The pillows and bed made for a comfy sleep. Staff were kind and helpful.

Went to eat there with the family, and loved the experience. The place itself is stunning, very cozy and creates a great mood. The food was also great, very tasty and especially the burger looked really cool in its presentation, and tasted even better. Of course the staff was also lovely, and i am very much planning on returning if i visit Svalbard a third time.

We travelled to Svalbard, and were really happy to be greeted by warm and friendly staff at Funken Lodge. Rooms lovely, bar & lounge great, restaurant & chefs very accommodating and helpful…. We had a great time and felt very relaxed, almost at home !!! Really fabulous hotel !

This is a fantastic hotel. We had an amazing stay. The whole hotel is so cosy, feels like being at home. It is tucked away about 10 min walk from main street of Longyearbyen. Everyone who we met working at this hotel were incredibly service minded, and always smiling, whether it was at the reception, bar or restaurant. It felt so welcoming. We were in a Junior Suite which was great, with beautiful views. The restaurant serves fresh and tasty breakfast and the dinner, tasting menu is just simply amazing! Words can not describe how great this place is.

I just had a fine long weekend at Funken with my spouse. There isn't much to complain about here, the experience was spotless. Pristine cleanliness, high standard of the room. Designer furniture in bathroom. If I must complain about something it would be that the sofa in the room looked cheap and did not fit with the rest of the premium furnishings. Good temperature regulation, we had about -5C outside. The breakfast - wow! Space rocket standard Nordic breakfast with Italian and French influences in cheese and salami. Was missing something with chocolate on the table though. Fantastic restaurant, try the king crab, and highly relaxing chill-style bar at the reception. This hotel is far from cheap, that said it is anyway quite good value for money. I've heard it could be the highest standard stay one can get on Svalbard. A calm 10 minute walk into the city center on a 30-meter high hill makes for stellar views over town from the hotel. Straight recommendation.
