Bit of luxury in the Arctic Circle

Had a lovely stay. Team were really friendly and helpful. Would recommend. Free snack 16 00-17.00 wity coffee or tea was a lovely touch. There was a reindeer outside our window most days, which was beautiful to see. Bed very comfy and great shower.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Julie Elizabeth, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
