Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a unique experience with its main cabin and igloo area for sleeping and watching the skies. While the beds on rollers could be uncomfortable at night, the inclusive breakfast and dinner are a nice touch. Communication requires a walk to the office, which may be inconvenient in case of emergencies.
The hotel location is absolutely beautiful, offering a superb setting. The rooms are spacious and modern, yet lacking direct communication tools. The service is attentive but appears stretched at times. The dining experience is flexible but would benefit from an earlier start. The facilities provide convenient amenities for a relaxing stay.
My stay at the hotel was like stepping into a lodge room with an igloo attachment, perfect for a family getaway with its kitchen facilities, although some basic items were missing considering the price. The service was top-notch, ensuring safety and warmth, but the location felt a bit outdated and distant from attractions. Dining offered a consistent buffet selection, with the option for lighter meals; however, no significant culinary surprises.
The hotel was more than ample for the two of us, and could easily accommodate a group of 4 and even up to 7 without feeling cramped. The location provided the best opportunity for Aurora Borealis viewing. The dining options were full of things to discover, offering a bit of everything. The service was attentive, efficient, and friendly.
The hotel is wonderfully attentive and accommodating, with fantastic service from all staff members. The remote location offers stunning views but may pose challenges for transportation. The dining options, while nice, lack exceptional variety. The rooms feature an 'Aurora Alarm' and 5G internet, but cleanliness could be improved.
The hotel is a cozy retreat to relax and marvel at the Northern lights from the warm comfort of your bed. The rooms are warm and inviting, but the small space and bed size might not suit everyone. The service provided by the friendly staff is personalized and excellent, offering a range of convenient amenities. The location is ideal for nature lovers and those in search of the Northern lights. The dining experience is satisfactory, offering a mix of hot and cold buffet options. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay overall.
I absolutely loved the unique location of this resort, offering plenty of opportunities to connect with nature. The rooms were equipped with an aurora-alarm for a magical experience, but the waiting time in the 'bar' for communication was a slight inconvenience. The service from the waiting staff was exceptional, and the staff made sure all our questions were promptly addressed. The dining experience had a variety but could improve in quality, and the location had a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute dream! The rooms were exceptionally built, quiet as a mouse, cozy, and beautiful, with fantastic amenities like a fireplace, refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee making pans, bathroom with shower, and even a private sauna. However, the price might be a bit high for some.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience as the rooms had an amazing unobstructed view but were a bit far from the lobby/restaurant. The service was friendly overall, but inconsistencies were noted like not highlighting specials. The location was picturesque but not well-marked for check-in, and the dining options were varied but limited in space.
I experienced a cozy stay at the hotel nestled in the woods, providing a perfect setting for witnessing the northern lights. The rooms with sauna, log fire, and jacuzzi were delightful, offering a unique experience. However, a slight inconvenience was having to go to another location to put clothes/suitcases in the igloo.
