Very luxurious hotel with good breakfast and kind staff. Beware it is up a hill and a bit far away from town but worth it in my opinion.

4-night trip

10/10

I've spent 10 days traveling around Norway and this has by far been my favorite property. There is something magical about Svalbard in general, and this property embodies just that. The food is amazing, there is no need to leave the property to eat anywhere else for any meal. The staff's friendliness and attention to detail is impeccable. A special shoutout to "T" at the front desk, she is absolutely amazing.

Awesome little hotel with great staff! Very comfy beds and a great breakfast buffet daily. We loved the cozy seating arounds on the main floor to relax and hang out in, would definitely recommend this hotel for your trip to Svalbard!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Longyearbyen! The room was incredibly comfortable and spotless, with breathtaking views of the snowy mountains right outside the window. The heating worked perfectly, keeping the room cozy and warm, which was a huge plus in this Arctic setting. The common areas were inviting and cozy, and the restaurant was undoubtedly the best spot for enjoying the stunning mountain views. The breakfast was delicious, and I highly recommend their food—especially the crab. Whether for lunch or dinner, the crab dishes were the best I’ve had in Longyearbyen! Another highlight was their cocktails—I absolutely loved them! A perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. If you’re visiting Longyearbyen, this hotel is a must-stay!

Amazing place. The food was amazing and they did great job cleaning too
3-night trip

10/10

We had such an amazing time at Funken, the staff were so helpful. Being a short walk out of Longyearbyen was perfect for us to see the rest of the town and the stunning surroundings. We stayed for 6 days and loved every bit of it! We are already planning on returning February 2026. Only suggestion would be to add variety to the breakfast, buffet was small and didnt change during our stay. But this hasnt stopped us refurning.

Hotel quiet and clean. At breakfast they always ask for room number, however all people have breakfast included. No plant milk, no herring which I hoped for. Always the same options, no whole fruit. At sauna only one glass with water jug.

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.

10/10

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.
5-night trip

10/10

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
