Summary: Good place to be at

Summary: This is not a stay you do for relaxation. When we checked in they told us to stick around for a presentation after they get everyone else checked in. The 5-10 minute wait was more than 30 minutes because of the line. Basically, they showed us where the different buildings and activities are - pretty sure we could have stumbled on them ourselves. The entire experience was pretty disjointed, from where to store your stuff, when you get to be in your room, lounge isn't big enough to seat everyone, etc - they just didn't have a cohesive experience. Tea and snacks with more information late afternoon, followed by a presentation in an entirely different building at 5.30p. So we're warm and cozy in the Snowhotel, but bundle up to go to the Gamme meeting area with a fire. The Sami history would be more interesting coming from an actual Sami, not someone from Poland (nothing against their international staff). After a warm drink and reindeer sausage, we trek back to the hotel for dinner, then sit around and wait for an excursion, or to dig out your toothbrush and pjs from the shared luggage room, with everyone else doing the same. We were lucky to experience northern lights right above the hotel. It would be better if they didn't kill the night vision with all the landscape lighting. But then they might not sell as many nighttime excursions...to go see the lights. Good to do for one night, although pretty expensive, but not something you do twice.

Summary: This property delivers exactly what you'd expect, an adventure around every corner. This manifests with dog sledding, king crab tours, snow machines, or a night in the ice hotel. Breakfast and dinners were a welcome plus. A must stay on any bicket list!

Summary: Stayed in the snow hotel itself, which was fun if you got into the spirit of the sleeping bag palaver! I was disappoint withthe ice sculptures/carving as although well done, they were not at all norwegain or inspired by the artic but rather dinsey! All very strange and not very culturally embrassing! Fun hiskie sledges. The northern light hunting although we had some great sites was lacking in anything other than a driver taking you to a laayby in a dark place!!

Summary: It’s a very fun concept, but if you are not from one of the cruises you are almost forgotten about. They have such a crazy influx of people from the cruise that they get overwhelmed and can’t handle everyone. The activities are too expensive for somebody already paying so much to stay at the hotel. It is such a cool place it just does not seem organized and well ran.

Summary: This is a unique.property, way, way north! It has a pretty unique Sami experience. Beware icy spots on the property in the long-lasting winter .Also, tour buses arrive with lots of folks to enjoy king crab, and the sled dog experience! But, it is very unique and enjoyable, with good staffing!

Summary: This was a highlight of my visit to Norway. The ice hotel was beautiful and not at all hard to sleep in. The sleeping bag was so warm I was sweating. I'm so glad I stayed!

Summary: I would like to see Priority to hotel guests for excursions over tourists from outside the hotel.One dog sled team should be dedicated to hotel tourists to ensure a chance to join in the fun
