"Funken Lodge is a cozy and tidy hotel with a nice service, gym, sauna with a good breakfast, restaurant and concierge services. The room was nice, a bit small, but quiet and very comfy with a very good bed, at least for me. The hotel is located a nice walk uphills from Longyearbyen centre, shops, museums, and other services. The Airport shuttle and many trip buses pick up you just in the front of Funken Lodge. Svalbard is a unique place with a very beautiful, very sensitive environment, which should be respected and preserved with it's beautiful plants and animals. Before you travel, check the environmental programs of hotels and trips, notice that there are limited areas where you may walk independently due to polar bears especially in spring, that your travel & health care insurances are ok, and notice that Oslo Airport when you have to pick up your checked in luggage and recheck-in to Norwegian domestic flights? There is an additional security check at Oslo Airport when coming from non-Schengen area to Schengen transfer flights area, so reserve some additional time if you have connection flights in Oslo. Even in the summer time, take warm and weather-proof clothes with you, especially if you go to sea trips. The climate change unfortunately changes especially these areas, so think about the environment & compensate CO2 emissions when you travel. Despite the Svalbard's mining history, let's keep the last wild frontiers on the Earth as untouched as possible."
