Pros: Very nice hotel with clean rooms and bathrooms. Facilities were great and the restaurant is really cozy. Staff is nice and the area is beautiful although a bit far from town which in my opinion was nice.
Cons: There were only very few hairdryers that could be borrowed from the reception and they were always rented out. Some people rented them for several hours and reception wouldn’t say which room they were in so we could go find it. In 30 degrees minus it’s not very nice to walk outside with wet hair and I would have brought my own if I had known.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Clean and spacious family room with ensuite shower and toilet, friendly staff, and good restaurant at the main building.

Located in Longyearbyen, Mary-Ann's Polarrigg is within a 15-minute walk of University Centre in Svalbard and Spitsbergen Airship Museum. Featured amenities include complimentary newspapers in the lobby, luggage storage, and laundry facilities. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Mary-Anns Polarrigg is a great place to stay on a budget basis. Well, the bathroom in our category was not en-suite, but clean and almost always accessible. The room was not big, but the heating was excellent, which was important with -30deg C outside. The community kitchen was clean and well kempt. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Cons: To get to the breakfast room you have to leave the building and go next door. The beds were hardly long enough for my height (2m or 6ft6).
7.0 Good
Pros: The restaurant in the hotel is very good and it is possible to try seal and whale steak. The staff is very friendly.
Cons: The hotel was very cold. It was -26.5°C outside and the insulation is not the best.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: The staff did a great job handling all the challenges the corona virus brought to the table. Overall very pleased with the stay.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Second stay here - this should say all you need to know. Great staff, and an excellent breakfast. Shared bathrooms may not be for everyone, but in Longyearbyen value should be a bigger consideration. This is a great place to stay, and if I return it will be to here.
Cons: I don't mind having to go outside to reach reception or the shared lounge, as it's remote from some rooms, and in -26C temperatures some might not like it - but you need to be aware of it.
7.0 Good
Pros: The living room and kitchen are very convenient.
Cons: The room and bathroom was smaller than expected. The selection at breakfast could have been a bit better (I enjoyed the selection at the Radisson Blu)
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Mary-Ann's Polarrigg is a very special place! Lots of love for detail and very cozy. Breakfast is very good, also for vegetarians. Because of the 'Solfest' they even served watermelon - in wintertime and 800 miles away from the North Pole!!! The personnel is very friendly and helpful. I very much recommend this place! (Please note that the rooms with shared bathroom do not have a sink in the room.)
8.0 Excellent
Pros: We had the rather small room with the shared bathroom. A few shelfs in your room would help for your stuf. Anyway, the shared livingroom was very cosy, the breakfast was excellent and the possibility to cook your own diner in the kitchen was a sort of surprise for us. Also where the girls at te reception very friendly and helpful.
Cons: A few shelfs in the rooms for storage. This would help for have more comfort and finding your stuff. Also where the rooms very warm. When it was outside minus 24 degrees celcius. It was because to prevent it form freezing. But anyway, when you want to explore Svakbard I think this is the place to be!
6.0 Good
Pros: Location and restaurant, and good breakfast.
Cons: I missed a shower and toilet at the room. But it was warm and OK . Restaurant was good, and also service.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: Funken Lodge is a fabulous place to stay. The style is what gives you the extra feeling of being at home, feeling cosy be it in the spacious lounge and bar area or in the rooms. I have been coming to Svalbard for ten years now and wanted to finally give this hotel a try. From now on it's going to be my first choice, that's how well it compares to the rest in town. Staff are friendly and try to do their best to make your stay enjoyable. Requests were always taken care of in a friendly way and many hotels could learn here. Breakfast has a fabulous tasty selection of food and front cooking of omelettes was very much appreciated.
Cons: Prices are high, but this is normal for good accommodation in Longyearbyen.

5.7 Okay

Pros: The "ruff charm" with all large wood trees, wood panel, sealskin "alover" - perfect design in the this northenmost settlement. Staff was very nice, helpful and welcoming...
Cons: Nothing!!!
9.0 Excellent
Pros: The staff was exceedingly helpful and friendly, especially Frida This who helped me with a special request. Nice atmosphere and central to shops and cafes.
Cons: I liked it, but the room decor can be described as bunk/cabin. Functional and comfortable but small and not a place to hang out. I wish the breakfast has more variety as it is the same items every day.
9.0 Excellent
Pros: This is wonderful hotel in Longyearbyen which is based on the characteristics of a traditional trapper lodge. The styling is really creative and makes for a nice place to just "be" - especially up in the loft where one can read, or work, or just relax. The staff are very helpful and enjoyable to talk to, and there is a nice little pub located beside the hotel that is equally "trapper" oriented, giving a lot of impressions of the lifestyle on Longyearbyen many years ago.
Cons: The beds/mattresses ok but not a world of comfort. That combined with the bunkbed style we had (one of us had to crawl over the other) makes the bed situation fine, but not ideal. As well, the rooms located right beside the reception area feel very near the reception area. It is not noisy, but you do notice being near the reception if you are trying to rest in the afternoon.
9.0 Excellent
Pros: The atmosphere. Authenticity.
Cons: We would have like a double bed. We weren't told before that wasn't possible.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: This is a fantastic hotel, with unique atmosphere and helpful, friendly staff. The room was very clean and warm, with enough space, especially for one person. A really nice touch were good quality organic cosmetics in the bathroom. Breakfast was delicious, always with fresh bread and other natural products. It was a wonderful, unforgettable stay. I hope to come back there someday :-).
9.1 Excellent
Pros: Very attentive and knowledgeable staff, unique atmosphere, great expeditions, plenty of cool places to read, hangout, play games, watch the sky, etc.
Centrally located in downtown Longyearbyen
Cons: Room was a bit difficult if I'd had a partner come with me as they were very small (yet comfortable) bunk-beds, also, you have to remove your shoes every time you come in, and it would've been nice if the hotel would provide "indoor" shoes to all the guests, as I was okay with removing my shoes, but didnt like walking around in my socks everywhere I went in the hotel.
7.0 Good
Pros: The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Each room is unique in design and decorated/constructed using driftwood and timber. Good sized bathroom with in-floor heating. Be forewarned that rooms do not have TV, telephone, fridge, minibar or wardrobes. I did not consider this to be a negative point, though some people may.Loved the glass-ceiling attic (cognac room)!
