We also have The Game Room, complete with a pool table, foosball, darts and bar. A laid-back space to enjoy music and games in a great atmosphere. The game room is also available to hire for private functions.

I liked that it was not in the town and it had a nostalgic look to it. I visited other hotels in town and onece inside they were exactly like hotels every other chain hotel. Maryanns had a cabin looking lounge with sofas and a garden restaurant

This hotel offers budget accommodation on the Arctic Ocean island of Svalbard. Communal facilities include a kitchen and TV lounge. Snowmobile safaris, dog sledding and glacier walks can be arranged.

At Coal Miners’ Cabins, guest accommodations are located in annex buildings. Each have access to shared bathrooms, kitchen, laundry facilities and a common living room. All rooms feature a mountain view

Affordable place to make your base camp for Svalbard adventures. The staff was AMAZING, if you have the chance to talk to Ruth from Bristol, you will be utterly delighted! I was surprised that even as a hostel they left you nice robes and had house keeping tidy up daily. The common area had a great breakfast and a nice bar (and hot chocolate station!) and was a nice place to chill in the morning or the evening.

    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.

    Food in the Restaurant Nansen was superb as was the breakfast. Sauna and outside Jacuzzi was fun when the temperature was minus 20 degrees C!

    Top class hotel and excellent accommodation. Was lucky to stay in a Junior Suite and was well worth it. Welcoming staff and the fact you change from boots to slippers makes it feel like home. Should we return to Svalbard the Funken will be our first and only choice. Loved the breakfast too and the Argentinean waitress was so nice. A friend within minutes.

    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.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The place was functional. Nothing really missing, but nothing extra either. A good choice of things to eat for breakfast, and good breakfast hours.

    Good location at the edge of town. The room was functional but fine with a good view of the mountain opposite. Breakfast was good and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We also had dinner here on both of the nights that we stayed on on each occasion the food was excellent.

    Elena makes everyone feel so welcome from the initial arrival and throughout one's stay. The guesthouse is welcoming too. Fresh, very clean and tidy. Elena often makes delicious treats and leaves nibbles out for hungry travellers. The kitchen is excemplary with your own fridge & cupboard but she has tea, coffee sauces, muesli etc to use. Recommend for sinle. Families, couples, & friends. Near bus stop. 10-15 mins walk to shops cafes etc. Perfect.
