The stunning location and the cosy cabins! It felt like we were in another world.

Rachel Spain

Amazing location, fantastic cultural experience - very friendly staff!

The staff is really very good and beautiful location

Sheikh Italy

We came for the ice hotel in the middle of summer. We enjoyed the experience as we were the only guests there. Also, the hike around the area and access to lake from sauna was unexpected great bonus. Dinner was tasty and breakfast had a big choice. We enjoyed our talk with Angela from Estonia (staff) :)

Aili Belgium

Unusual and provided its offering very well. Excellent staff I chose the new huts rather than the actual Snow Hotel rooms.

Lars United Kingdom

Quite a unique experience to visit the Snow hotel, although we elected to sleep in a bungalow rather than on the ice. The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful and the setup with the ice bedrooms and sculptures and the huskies and reindeer made for a very enjoyable visit.

Nigel United Kingdom

My stay was very much out of season so I had a choice of ice hotel on my own or comfortable cabin. I opted for the cabin but found exploring the rooms of the ice hotel amazing and enjoyed a drink at the bar with other guests. The staff were wonderful and the meal amazing and lovingly prepared by the chef.

Lynne United Kingdom

The location and hotel are very very beautiful! Plenty of things to do!

Teresa Netherlands
