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..

Really lovely hotel, great lounge and common areas, really comfortable. It is a bit of a walk from the heart of town, so not so convenient.

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.

Nice base for Svalbard activities
Nice hotel, comfortable bed. Lots of nice public space for hanging out - the music, while not loud could still be a bit lower. Very nice breakfast, with a lovely view from the dining area. A short hike from the center - not too far, but something to be aware of. All the tours will pick you up at the hotel though. Would happily stay here again.
