Very comfortable room, little on small side but we knew that before booking. Ideal location, just opposite main shop and bars/restaurants all nearby. Staff super friendly and lovely breakfast. Would definitely book here again.

Very much enjoyed staying at Funken Lodge. Three points I would like to highlight in particular:
Friendliness of each and every team member. They really want you to have a great time!
Very cozy and comfortable lounge areas where you can hang out before or after your activities.
The breakfast and dinner in the restaurant are exquisite, and the view from the tables is just mind-blowing.

Breakfast was nice, complete. People working there were fantastic. The bathtub and the water were perfect. Location also perfect. The Pub next to the hotel was the best, good food and great atmosphere, great people working there: Facundo, Juliana, Gastón and the rest also nice people.
People working in the hotel were nice.

The staff were so friendly, hard working and kind, always kept the place spotless and were happy to chat. Made me feel very welcome. The kitchen had all the facilities you could want and had a lovely balcony.

Friendly, clean, warm, welcoming and quirky. Excellent home cooked breakfast. Close to town. So quirky it reminded me of Banksy’s Walled Off hotel on the West Bank. Great opportunity to stay in ex-mining accommodation.

This is a very interesting fully functional Cory located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean pretty close to the North Pole. (Closer to the north pile than any other major city in the world.) Anyone can visit Svalbard and stay here as long as you like, regardless of 'nationality' / passport(s). It's great if you have money, but even if you don't you can find inexpensive food at the store (if you look hard) and there's free food left at the hostel, plus they give you free breakfast. 🙂

For somebody from South India the place can only be described as otherworldly... like going to a different planet, almost. The weather was in the minus 20 s when i visited last week and it is essential that one prepares for this if visiting in the winter. It is not exactly easy to get around in this island of 2,000 people or so. I came to my hotel in the airport bus and was picked up by the organisers of my various activities like dog sledding etc. I believe there is a taxi but am not sure it can be hailed quickly. Apart from the city centre ( which is 3 streets) other places like the church, harbour etc are a bit of a walk and one has to be prepared for that. It is impossible to walk to these places in winter in the cold and pitch dark. Vegetarian food options were available but limited. Overall, it was a memorable experience, though.

The end of the earth, or so it feels... we arrived for snow on the ground in September and below freezing the whole time. The one big shop, the Co-op, in the town is great, has everything you need, plus the only alcohol shop is part of it selling a big range, you need to show a boarding pass for your flight to buy drink though! Liked the Svalbard brewery by the harbour, their beer is in every bar in town but on a Friday you can book a space in their taproom, really good. Karlsberger pub (in the shopping centre) is worth a go too, lots of mining decor and a huge range of spirits. For unusual food, Mary-Ann's Polarrigg has a restaurant attached with (so I heard) superb food, but the bar there will serve food too, we had the home smoked tasting plate of Minke whale, bearded seal and reindeer which was fascinating. Didn't see any polar bears, which was both good and bad, it's a strange feeling to be walking around and not to be the alpha predator...

We loved the people, we met. Everyone was hospitable.
We loved the people, we met. Everyone was hospitable. And all the guides we had, were really good and dedicated. The Haugen pensjonat was, like everything else, an excellent experience. We felt everybody did their best and loved what they did.
We had fish and chips at Kroa. The food was really nice and good for the price, and the room was a local experience made of timber.
We went around in Longyearbyen by foot or were driven by our guides. Between the airport and the town is also a bus with reasonable prices.
For my next visit, I would wear warmer clothes - a thin layer of merino wool under the gloves and normal clothes.

This is a place where you should stay longer and in different times of the year.
My favorite place to eat was the mexican whith really nice made food and 100 meter next to it a great place to have coffe and a sandwhich.
If you need outdoor gear this is the place to get it.
Loved staying here, the whole hotel and cabins have been really well decorated to show the history of the coal miners cabins but still be really comfortable. I had a single room with shared bathroom, there were plenty of bathrooms so never had to wait. They were all kept really clean. The common room is lovely and cosy, and it's great to have a kitchen there too. Breakfast was lovely. Mary Ann's is great value for money, and a really unique place to stay. Definitely recommend and I would love to come back!
Basecamp Hotel is all wood, very warm- feeling, and cozy—wood floors, walls, ceilings. The design was simple, rugged because of the thick wood, and beautiful. It was a relief to be there after being outdoors in the cold, stark arctic town. My solo traveler room had a wonderfully comfortable double bed tucked into an alcove and a modern, sleek bathroom. The breakfast was truly amazing—great breads, eggs, oatmeal and cereals, cheeses. All delicious. They do know how to cook and be hospitable way up north.
Very nice hotel with good standard in every detail. Professional and helpful personal, nice design, excellent location. Good breakfast and very well organised, many varieties for different tastes. Nice hotel with great menu we loved everything there. Good service as well. Excellent location close to everything, possibilities to book any activities here. Nice pub with good atmosphere and good food. Highly recommended. Thank you and we will definitely visit Longyearbyen and this hotel again.
Very tidy and cosy guesthouse. It is located in a residential area, so if you wish to experience what life is like on Svalbard it is a much better choice, than staying in one of the hotels on the main street of Longyearbyen. Elena, the host is always there to help and always has a kind word for everyone. Can't wait to stay there again!
Funken Lodge is really an extraordinary hotel located in beautiful Longyearbyen. We had the most wonderful time there!!! Everything was great - the hotel, the room, the service, the food, the view from the breakfast/dining room, lots of space to just hang-out next to the cozy fireplace... an absolut recommendation!! :-)
Exquisite hotel in Longyearbyen, beautifully decorated and ultra-comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, the views were spectacular, the 5 o'clock tea and treats were lovely and the staff was super friendly. They also have a great bar with very nice drinks. Everything exceeded our expectations.
I booked a room at Coal Miner's Cabins for a quick holiday with a friend. Due to maintenance work, the hostel was closed, but I was contacted, and my stay was upgraded for free to Funken Lodge hotel, which is much more expensive and luxurious. Very professional behaviour from the hostel.
Nice clean in a central place 👌
Excellent and varied breakfast with fresh made fruit juices
Modern style
3 minutes to get the airport bus
5 minutes for shopping and dinner 🍴

It is very sweet and warm place to stay. Every time I travel to Longyearbyen I want to stay in Haugen Pensjonat. The staff very super kind. Rooms, kitchen and bathroom always very clean. I can only recommend.
The hotel is super cute and cosy and the breakfast was the best we had. Fresh made eggs Benedict with home made hollandaise sauce was a highlight. The bathroom is really nice too. We would stay here again.
The apartment was spacious, clean, had a fully equipped kitchen and next to supermarket and restaurants. And the apartment has 1.5 bathrooms which was really helpful since we were a group of 4 people
One doesn't get a lot of options in Longyearbyen and Mary-Ann's Polarrigg is one of the cheaper ones. It offers solid, no frills rooms with a fantastic breakfast and great staff.
The location of hotel is wonderful: on the main street, near supermarket and many restaurants. Really, everything is not far from there. The room is comfortable and warm.
Great location near shops, clean, quiet and comfortable, easy check in and out, luggage storage whilst we went on a trip. Pricey, but so are most places in Longyearbyen.
