Loved staying here, everyone was so welcoming and the hotel was so cozy and comfortable. A great place to warm up after our adventures. Also really loved that you don't wear shoes inside and the slippers they provide for you to wear.

Exceptional Service, Cozy Ambiance
The staff was absolutely wonderful, providing top-notch service throughout our visit. 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.

A Funken good place to stay Funken Lodge is not only a great name but a fantastic hotel in tiny Longyearbyen, gateway to the North Pole. The hotel is modern, some of the rooms are smallish but the space itself is a great a place to unwind after a long hike or a boat ride for a Walrus or glacier expedition. It sits a short distance from the center of town and has a restaurant as well as four lounge areas with nice views. The staff was fantastic, check-in was easy and while the hotel can get very busy at times due to cruise ships coming in or leaving, the staff did their best to accommodate things like late check-outs and baggage storage. BTW one review mentioned having to store their bags under the stairs and this isn’t really true. When I came the first time, they had an area in the gym downstairs to store your luggage, and yes it is open, but this is Norway (sort-of) and my experience in Northern countries is that theft isn’t often a problem. When I returned the second time, they had completed renovations on a new luggage storage area and place for guests’ shoes in the downstairs area. It seems to run very smooth. I would suggest you take a larger room on the third floor if you can. The one I had on the second floor on my first visit was a little cramped and had no desk to work at, or much space, but there are tables in the main area in one of the “lounges” with plug-ins that are a bit of reach for power. Internet was smoking fast, thanks to two fiber optic cables that run
