Lovely property, with well decorated spaces. The room was quite large, with a very comfortable bed and a good shower. Picture perfect views from windows. Staff really welcoming, and happy to offer advice for dining options / local insider knowledge. Very good breakfast.

Best hotel writhin 1500 miles 😊

absolutely first rate hotel and service, One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. 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.

Funken Lodge is one of the nicest places to stay in Longyearbyen with an incredible restaurant. It's a bit further from the central part of town, but still walkable.

We stayed Funken Lodge last year. We liked amenities in the room and great breakfast. One year on, the room facilities were bit shabbier (USB plug next of bed didn’t work, less amenities such as hand cream, disposable razor, shoe polish, tooth brush, little shaving cream). Breakfast was still great. Wide variety of choices. However, I ordered Champions and leek omelette, came out Champions and onion. Reception ladies were very friendly and helpful. Just a little bit far to reach centre of town. But if I have few hotel choices, I would choose Funken Lodge.
