Icehotel

What a fabulous adventure at the ICE Hotel. Loved every minute of our time here. Had a night in "cold" accommodation and three nights in warm. Went snowmobiling, Moose Safari and dog sledging. Great food. Exceptionally good breakfast. Visited the ICE bar and exhibition rooms in ICE Hotel 365. It was all magical. Definitely will be back.

What an amazing bucket list type of experience. Everything you thought about this place is absolutely true. That rheum are incredible. Very warm and fantastical with a lifetime of memories involved. They sure know how to take care of the property and the most of how to enjoy it.

My husband, sister, brother-in-law & I spent two nights at the Ice hotel. One night in an ice room (with warm bathroom attached) and one night in a normal cabin. Unfortunately, our experience wasn’t the 5 star experience we’d hoped for. The good The dog sled from the airport was great fun and we all agreed we'd do that again The ice art is amazing, and we very much enjoyed walking around, looking at all the rooms, the Ice Bar and the chapel etc. The other experiences we booked were also fun. Two snow mobile (one at night and one in the day) and a cross-country ski walk. We all very much enjoyed the experience of sleeping on ice. The Bad This is the only hotel I have ever been to which doesn’t offer you a porter help with luggage, yet this is one of the hotels where you need that the most. Dragging luggage through snow & ice from reception, to your room, then back to reception and onto new room was a big effort. There should be porters to help and when changing rooms, the staff should move your luggage for you while you are our on an excursion, as they do in any other decent hotel. The food in the restaurant was overpriced, limited and not very good, but sadly there wasn’t really any alternative. We walked to town during the day and wanted to go back to eat at the Homestead in the evening, however, the walk during the day had been treacherous due to there being thick ice everywhere so we didn’t want to risk the walk at night. I asked if there was any transport option, but other than paying for a taxi to come all the way from Kiruna at a cost of around £50 for what would be a 5 min journey to town, there was no option. The hotel should invest in a shuttle service. I also wasn’t expecting the hotel to be full of day trippers. That meant the hotel was very crowded with nowhere to sit in the bar or reception area until all the day trippers left at 6pm.

The Ice Hotel was amazing! We celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary with an adventure to the Arctic Circle and had a blast. The art rooms, ice bar and architecture are wonderful, definitely museum quality. We slept well in our ice room in our warm and cozy sleeping bags. The staff was friendly and helpful in enjoying our experience.

We stayed at the ice hotel as a family of six. We enjoyed a cabin and two hotel rooms for two nights. The rooms were excellent and very cosy and warm. There is an area for boots and snow suits and everything is designed perfectly for a good night’s rest. The range of activities was superb and we booked well in advance to ensure places. The guides were helpful and made the experiences very informative and at the same time fun. We very much enjoyed the snowmobiling lunch, wilderness dinner, cross country skiing, dog sledding and sauna ritual. We spent one night in the ice rooms. Three ice rooms and one deluxe room with an en-suite warm bathroom. One member of staff in particular warrants a special mention. And that is Melker - this is why I have given 5 stars. Melker was always professional, informative and cheerful throughout our stay and went beyond and above to resolve a problem for me. This was calmly resolved with good humour and soon I was comfortably installed in a room in the 365 hotel that met my particular requirements. Thank you ice hotel for a trip of a lifetime!
