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
Our stay fantastic, the room was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The temperature of the room was too hot and although we turned the thermostat to the lowest setting we still had to keep a window open. The staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for us including organising trips and taxis. Richard and Cristobal especially. Every member we of staff we came into contact with was very friendly. The only drawback about the hotel is the hill leading up to it! Breakfast is good and hearty with a good selection to choose from. We dined in the restaurant one evening and we personally found it a little overrated. Food was good but basic, for instance the king crab was served on a bed of lettuce. We would recommend staying there because of the staff, but probably would stay more centrally next time

I spent a total of 10 days in Svalbard at Funken lodge.. The staff was amazing.. Food was great.. Room was good for me needs.. The lodge sits a bit away from rest of town.. Walking down to shops and other eatery places is a short walk.. Bit longer walking back up hill.. But can call a taxi if want.. Buses will come and get ya and take ya back from excursion.. And you can book many from the lodge itself.. Thank you Funken for taking such great care of me..

Too far out from town center. The walk to town is fine but the walk back was a bit hard for a senior…

This is supposedly the best hotel in Longyearbyen and it lives up to its reputation. Breakfast was excellent, and the restaurant's food is very good. Hotel responds very promptly to emailed questions. Note: the single rooms are really only large enough for one person. Note also that this is a bit of a walk from the village, church or other attractions, although tour operators are happy to pick up and drop off at Funken.
