    Exceptional experience sleeping under the dancing aurora lights in a Glass Igloo. Staff was more than friendly and helped in any case. Location is a bid off but due to the frequent shuttle service offered by the hotel, that’s not a big deal....

    Very very helpful staff. I used the airport shuttle to/from town and those were always on time with friendly drivers. I would definitely stay again with my family. I wish that that there was a television in the room.

    The igloo was super cute, warm and comfortable. Loved being able to tour the ice hotel and explore all the rooms, which was so cool. Amazing breakfast.

    Considering how remote this place is, the facilities were of very good quality. The staff members were so kind, courteous, professional and went extra length to help me arrange some flowers and a few candles for proposing my boyfriend at the last...
