Staff, hotel, food, afternoon tea.
Rooms could have been bigger
Propreté, confort. Le côté très « cosy »
Rien en particulier
Great location. Felt like a great big hug after the cold outdoors. Loved the fires and superb food. The staff were also excellent.
Gli spazi comuni bar ristorante salotto
Struttura eccezionale, estremamente accogliente e funzionale. Lusso non sfrenato o inappropriato per il contesto, ma con un grande calore e ambiente. Camere essenziali, funzionali e comodissime. Servizio bar eccellente. La posizione è leggermente decentrata dal centro del villaggio, ci si impiegano 10-12 minuti a piedi. Per noi na ha costituto alcun problema, anzi lo abbiamo apprezzato perché piú riservato.
Nulla.

Exceptionnel Un très bel écrin dans les hauteurs du village avec très belles vues montagne et village. Je regrette de n avoir pas booke plus de nuits. Restaurant dîner petit déjeuner fabuleux.
Frokosten var nydelig. Flott utsikt fra restauranten. God badstu. Flott utsikt fra hotellrommet. Gode rom, gode senger. Bra bad. Hyggelig personell. God beliggenhet. God atmosfære. Vi likte oss skikkelig godt på hotellet.
Middagen tirsdag 28.07.2026 var en skuffelse. Vi hadde gledet oss veldig og bestilte kongekrabbe. Den var tørr og seig og overdynget med urter/krydder. Kjente ikke krabbesmak og porsjonen var ikke større enn at det såvidt ble nok på en skive brød. Forrett og dessert var ok, men ikke mer enn det. Et overpriset måltid. Valgte å ikke spise flere middager på hotellet under oppholdet.
La Funken Lodge è decisamente uno degli hotel più belli, se non il più bello, delle Svalbard. L'atmosfera è bellissima, magica. Ci sono molti spazi comuni dove leggere e rilassarsi. Lo staff è gentilissimo e aiuta anche nel prenotare escursioni (anche se consiglio di prenotarle prima di arrivare, perchè molte si riempiono alla svelta). Noi abbiamo prenotato in loco l'escursione per vedere i puffin ed è stata veramente eccezionale.
Mi è piaciuto tutto. Forse l'unica cosa che potrebbe essere migliorata è il numero di biciclette messe a disposizione. Sono solo 3 e bisogna affrettarsi a prenderle, perchè non c'è un vero e proprio sistema di prenotazione. Noi ci siamo riusciti una mattina presto e andare in giro per Longyearbyen in bicicletta (fra l'altro con pedalata assistita, quindi facilissimo) è un'esperienza che veramente consiglio
Komfortabel ausgestattet, sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Flybus vom und zum Hotel hält vor der Funkwn Lodge
Ich habe vom Hotelfenster keine Eisbären gesehen. ;-)
location
I was sick and not hungry. The elevator floor was filthy. Too many stairs in the lobby and on the floor my room was on the pull my luggage on wheels. That was difficult being sick.
The ambience, the beautiful relaxing lounges , comfortable bed, lovely staff!
It was expensive… but everything is in Svalbard….
Beautiful decor
Bit stuffy in bedrooms
From an ordinary exterior to a stunning interior. A lovely hotel with so many rooms to relax and chill.
Warm cosy feel and excellent standards both for accommodation and food
Nothing
Friendly staff, that's for sure! Thanks to Tina for nice conversations! Clean rooms, there is a sauna at the hotel. The hotel has nice design.
Our room had problems with lamps/light bulbs. They got lit up by themselves several times which was disturbing during the night. Breakfast could have had more variety. It's a pricey hotel and I'd expect an airport transfer to be included in the rate 😁
Le côté cosy. Le restaurant et les petits déjeuner sont excellents, personnel accueillant et sympathique.
Il manque une terrasse extérieure car quand il fait beau ce serait agréable un espace extérieur. On ne peut pas moduler le chauffage.
Espaço e tranquilidade
tudo estava otimo
Sehr komfortables Hotel, insbes. angesichts der Lage in der Arktis. Stilvoll eingerichtet. Traumhaftes Frühstück.
Liegt ein paar Meter außerhalb des Ortskerns, man muss also etwas laufen.
Location was good. Inside decor was lovely staff were friendly and competent

Struttura bella e curata

Ambiente caldo ed accogliente
Camere un po’ piccole
Room amenities like toothbrush, toothpaste, nice shampoo, conditioner, shaving kit, lotion - so I didn’t have to bring these. Gym had treadmill and weights. Dairy alternatives in restaurant. Staff was nice and helpful. Nice bar and drinks.
Sauna did not open til noon. breakfast buffet was so-so. Overall temperature was too hot so I was sweating most of the time inside. Location was a bit of a hike to town which would be ok in better weather. Really expensive for not having a full spa or better breakfast.
Tutto!💙
Nulla! 💙
Lovely comfortable hotel commanding a great position at the top of town.
Loved that hotel. Very charming decoration, amazing staff from the reception to the restaurant, and the view from the breakfast / dining room is simply breathtaking. Food in general is very nice! Don’t miss an evening in the restaurant. If you decide to go the upper price segment hotels in Longyearbyen (so not the hostels with shared bathroom) I would always recommend Funkenlodge before the other options in Spotzbergen :)
Sauna was always nice warmed, but small without windows.
Lovely boutique hotel situated on a small hill just outside the main shopping area. The strip is not big and everything from the hotel is walking distance anyway
Considering there are limited flights in and out of there, maybe some flexibility around early check-ins - if the rooms are available of course
The breakfast is great and the view is another level. The staff is super friendly.
The prices are mad high. Almost 400kr for a sandwich. Or 2600kr for a steak is insane, especially when its slightly above mediocre good. The bathroom floor was ice cold, no heating. The showe glass was leaking onto said cold bathroom floor. There was no shower curtain or door either, so water was spilling out from the shower.
A fantastic stay at Funken Lodge! The rooms were excellent, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and professional throughout our visit. The location was perfect for exploring Longyearbyen, but what really stood out was the breakfast; they offered great vegan options, which made the mornings much easier. Everything from the service to the atmosphere was top-notch—highly recommended for anyone visiting Svalbard
No comment
Variety in breakfast is lacking
Clean, warm, modern.
Staff were temperamental, sometimes amazing, sometimes average.
The staff mainly Martina Olga at breakfast area they were amazing. The room I got was amazing.
Friendly and helpful staff, amazing breakfast, great views from the restaurant/breakfast area, decent gym given the location - loved it! Also, the walk into the central area of town is ~15 mins and is a nice walk, so don't be put off by this.
Location great, spotlessly clean.
Service unpredictable. Some areas great others patchy.
Veldig god frokost, og da spesielt surdeigsbrødet og omeletten.
Det var ikke drikkevann tilgjengelig på rommet. Dette er for dårlig for et hotel av denne standarden.
Excelente comida, ambiente y atención del personal
Staff were fantastic extremely helpful and friendly in assisting with yours and knowledge of the area. Very good breakfast excellent omelettes and staff very good
Nothing
Luxury hotel with international vibe. Well appointed rooms and excellent breakfast buffet.
On the outskirts of the town so not very convenient for main street shops and cafes
L’espace dans la suite 330 et la magnifique vue ! Et le pot de crème ! Et le staff top !
Salle de bains un peu vétuste et mal chauffée ! Dommage pour une chambre de catégorie supérieure !
Personal war sehr freundlich. Essen hervorragend. Das Hotel sehr cozy.
Eine Mitarbeiterin im Frühstücksservice war sichtlich unmotiviert und genervt. Das war ein wenig schade, denn das rechtliche Personal war sehr bemüht.
Breakfast was excellent in location, presentation, food, staff, etc.
Room had an issue with the heater, even after staff adjusted it we still had issues, but not overwhelming. Slippers provided did not fit and were a bit frustrating - outside shoes are not allowed to be worn in the facilities.
溫暖舒適
La atención del personal de la recepcion.
Muy poca iluminacion en la habitación.
Everything. The beds are very comfortable, house keeping was fantastic. The rooms felt warm and cosy. The slippers you wear around the hotel are a great touch. Breakfast selection also very tasty.
Having to leave :)
We had an adorable stay at funken lodge. You can get easily anywhere by walking. Lovely staff, huge breakfast buffet that fullfils als your wishes. They even had an aurora homepage for guests where you can sign up to get reminders if they show up. 😍 We totally plan on coming back again!
Ausstattung & Interior, Personal & Service, das Essen und die dafür verwendeten Produkte... alles in diesem Haus ist einfach 1-2 Stufen über dem was es sonst in Longyearbyen gibt. Ein Ort an dem man gerne während eines Schneesturms festsitzen würde.
Lage könnte etwas zentraler sein.
Ein Paradies in dieser kargen und rauen Landschaft
Herlig beliggenhet med strålende utsikt over Longyearbyen. Fine, men ikke spesielt store rom. Meget hyggelig og hjelpsomt personale i Resepsjonen. Rikholdig frokostbuffet med hyggelig betjening.
Breakfast was very good!
I can't really think of anything, thats pretty much what I wanted!
