Bit of a good idea , having the bed facing north so you can lay in bed and watch the northern lights. However first night we could see nothing as igloo was covered in snow, evidently heated glass didn’t work when it’s snowing ?. Second night brilliant clear sky but as northern lights only appear in colour when you take a picture, northern lights look like a few wispy clouds outside as you try and peer through reflections inside the room on the glass. In short you have to be outside to see the real thing and won’t see the colours unless you take pictures. Saying all the above hotel was good facilities, we’re in the process of building the ice hotel which was interesting. Offered saunas obviously, ice fishing.

We got the arctic hotel bus from outside snowman world in Scv. It was a bit expensive but cheaper than a taxi. €20pp each way. The bus driver lovely and helpful. We checked in with ease. Waited only 5 minutes for a guide to show us around and where things were located. Got a full tour in and out. We were shown where the toilet, changing and warm area inside the ice hotel along with how to use our sleeping bags. We were then left to explore and have fun till bedtime. There’s so much to do and see. We explored the lake and had fun sledging. We went into every room in the hotel which was an experience. This truly is amazing. The art is phenomenal. We had a drink in the ice bar. We would have gone again but got the times wrong. The mixologist was great and informative. My partner now loves Riki which he got served. We relocated to the ice bar with hope we could see the Aurora. Unfortunately not. However the ice bar was lovely and relaxing. Our dinner wasn’t until 9… so had a good few drinks. Dinner was fabulous. Started with carrot soup. I’ll try to recreate at home. Served with lovely bread. Main my partner had mash with reindeer and I had bbq salmon. The salmon was delicious as was the reindeer. Dessert was a blueberry sponge. Our night in the ice room was such an awesome experience. We stored our backpacks in our lockers and took essential things to our room, we were able to charge our phones. Personally I didn’t use the fleece witching the sleeping bag. So only used the sleeping bag. Which was fine for me, we slept in base layers and a hat, Rooms so quiet and lovely. Got woken up at 7.30 with warm blueberry juice. Changed in the warm cabin. Breakfast was fabulous and tasty. Plenty of options hot and cold. Next time we will stay in the igloos. This is a must experience. The staff also make it special. Thanks so much. X…

Dear Emma, what a joy reading your experience with us! :) I believe we managed to help you with the recreating our carrot soup through social media? If not do not hesitate to ask, our chef is glad to help. We can´t tell you enough how wonderful it is to hear our guests love the experience sleeping inside the snowhotel, for some it can be a life changing event. Traveling and experiencing new things is to learn someting new, even about our selves. Thank you for choosing us. :)

We had the most AMAZING time!! Me and my mum stayed for 1 night what an experience. The staff were so friendly so nice and couldn’t do enough for you We done the ice skulpting which was brilliant!! Again the staff helped and were so friendly and made the experience really fun. The igloo was actually really spacious and the bathroom was big. We didn’t see the northern lights unfortunately but it was lovely sleeping under the stars, the beds were so comfy !!! We done the outside jacouzzi and sauna experience again amazing!! Well worth doing we FaceTimed all our families whilst doing it We had dinner in the restaurant which was so cosy and cute, then breakfast in the main area again was lovely. They done the best hot chocolate and lattes there! We got the shuttle to Santas village which took about 30 mins. Recommend this stay to anyone going! …

I think this is the first time I've been away where the reality was better than the expectation. The staff were very friendly and attentive months before we had even arrived, answering emails and queries extremely promptly. The Igloos were absolutely perfect and made it an unforgettable couples retreat. It isn't cheap, but it is a bucket list experience that surpasses what you have in mind. Make sure the aurora alarm is set to "on"!

If there is 0, I would have not given a star. The reception staff was dismissive and I felt they can’t be bothered because I was travelling solo and I should just suck it up and take what is given despite me paying the same price for 2 persons. They gave me the glass igloo right beside the reception house with construction going on. Very bad attitude and poor management skills. It was a snowing night and I’ve been told the 360 degree glass wont have heating on cause there is no point if the snow persists. Hence, it was full of snows and not even visible outside, so the whole night you spent staring at snow covered glass - not recommended to stay there if you know it’s snowing. Another down point is a lot of light pollution. Lights coming from all angles (I wonder what they are doing middle of the night) and hence I do wonder how people can look at northern lights if it’s at the right time. The construction started early morning (before sun rise) and I wonder if they even have a tiny bit of common sense. In short, they just selling off merchandise and when it’s off the shelf it’s your own business. Another point to note is - was advertised to have floor heating but it wasn’t on (I guess no point asking the staff why). The heating inside the glass igloo you cannot control yourself in the igloo and you have to call reception number. The reception number is again another joke, takes ages for someone to pick up. The breakfast buffet - I only realise this Arctic hotel and glass igloo is a 3-star hotel, so I guess don’t expect too much (despite they are overpriced). The breakfast I would say only 2-star standard. Will not recommend to anyone.…

If you book a glass igloo, you want to see the Northern Lights from the comfort of your room. However, they gave us a terrible igloo, in front of the snowmaking machine. The light and fog hindered the view of the Northern Lights. Furthermore, the windows were frozen. That's why it was not possible to see the Northern Lights from inside the igloo. I had to stay outside, in the cold, to see the Northern Lights. I woke up at dawn and went outside to see the northern lights and, honestly, I don't know if the alarm went off. Maybe he played too low. Of positive: good and varied breakfast; Very beautiful place, in the middle of nature.

Dear Luanas96 we are so happy that you enjoyed our location in the middle of the nature, and our hearty breakfast that is very much liked by our guest. We are truy sorry that you were uppset by the ice on the igloo glass. On days with heavy snow fall we have to wait for the snow fall to clear from the weather forecast before heating the Glass Igloo roofs, to avoid heavy ice buildup on the glass roofs.

We timed our visit in March to give us the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights and we weren't disappointed. We booked a package which included three nights in a glass igloo. The igloo was more spacious than expected and there was sufficient hot water for our showers, etc. The beds which moved up and down were also fun and enabled us to sit up and watch the Northern Lights in the comfort of the warm igloo. The alarm for the Northern Lights worked though we didn't need it as the Lights appeared while we were awake - about 20:15! We explored the ice hotel next door, visiting the guest rooms during the day to admire the sculptures, having fun smashing our ice glasses in the ice bar and eating in the ice restaurant...though that was chilly and we were glad the service was efficient meaning the three course meal was complete in about an hour. We met a few people who had chosen to stay in the ice hotel overnight but who had spent most of the night in the warm locker room rather than their actual room due to the low temperature. That made us glad that we had decided to overnight in a glass igloo rather than in the hotel! Our package also included an electric snowmobile excursion which was a great way to spend an afternoon. We also enjoyed using the freely available snowshoes provided by the hotel to walk in the nearby woods and on the frozen lake. We also took the convenient shuttle bus into town to visit the Arktikum museum, to Santa Claus village as well as to the rail station at the end of our visit. The staff were courteous and the food good, particularly in the Kota restaurant where we watched our salmon being grilled over the fire. All in all a very memorable experience…

We went there with our kids aged 28 and 25 at the end of January 2023. We went there to enjoy the nature of lapland, reindeers and of cause northern lights. We arrived there by the Santa Claus train from Helsinki early in the mornind and were picked up by the hotel shuttle at the train station of Rovaniemi. We stayed in two of the glass igloos (one for us and one for our kids next to our igloo). These igloos are equipped wirth a bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. From the igloos you have a free view of the sky. If you are lucky you see the northern lights right from your bed. The hotel offers a so-called "aurora alarm" that wakes you up when northern lights are visible, but you can also switch off the alarm if you don`t want to be disturbed. The hotel is rebuit every year from snow and offers several unique hotel rooms created from ice and snow, together with a chapel, a restaurant and a hotel bar from ice. Every hotel room is special and offers a warm equipment for the people who stay there. I think that it will be a great experience to stay in one of these rooms. They also have a traditional restaurant where they serve traditional food, e.g. salmon and reindeer. There is also a hotel bar (not built from ice) in this building, whre you can also stay on the first floor. The hotel is located near a lake that was frozen during our stay. A lot of activities are offered, e.g. a visit to Santa Clause Village near Rovaniemi, visit of a reindeer farm with ride on a reindeer sled, icefishing, snowmobile fun, etc. …

We gathered our courage to sleep in snow hotel and we got just an amazing experience. The beds , sculptures are just amazing. How one can sleep in snow bed. Ohhh it is just amazing to sleep in temperature 0- -5. If u get uncomfortable sleeping in ice bed then they have kept the provision of bunk beds in locker rooms. Will never forget this night.
