I travel to Svalbard once a year for work and this is the best hotel in Longyearbyen for me.
Aaron, 2-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.

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.
