Pros
Awesome and unique experience staying in a glass igloo in Lapland! Good open area to see the aurora and a nice lake onsite. Resident reindeer. Aurora alert in your room.
Cons
Expensive
You can't be inside the igloo during the day if it's sunny or a little warm outside because it got so crazy hot in there! There is no cooling, only a small desk fan. Went to reception and was told to keep the igloo door open. This did very little and meant there was zero privacy as the next igloo looks straight in. The igloos are very close together!
The resort is completely away from any facilities, and there is nothing to do unless you have a car (which we did) or go on a tour. A walking track is needed as the surroundings and lake are so pretty.
Breakfast has many ok options, but is the same everyday and even if you're there on opening, the hot food is only warm.
Thel communal sauna is only open after 9pm.
Would I stay again? Probably not.
Would I recommend staying here? Absolutely! But just be aware of the cons ;)
Absolutely loved everything about this place. We stayed in the igloos which were very clean and a bit like upscale glamping. So cozy and fun. It had limited eating options, but it didn't matter at all. There were so many fun activities (both free and with charge) that we were busy all day the days we stayed. The staff completely made our stay. They were fun, friendly, helpful, and even gave us ideas and ways to change schedules around to accommodate some things we ended up wanting to do. If and when we travel to Finland again, this would be the one repeat we would definitely do!
Wow, what an experience!! The facilities were excellent, great choice of food in the buffet and glad we paid extra for private sauna and jacuzzi as this gave us a private shower. The only issue we had was by the time we went to get our sleeping bags all of the larger ones had gone sadly which meant my partner of 6ft 1inch did not have adequate bedding and we ended up having to use 2 smaller ones for him which was not ideal in such cold temperatures. The staff were all so helpful and we would definitely recommend a stay here.
This was a really good experience, very different from your ‘usual’ hotel stay.
The ice sculptures and art work were impressive as was the entire hotel design.
All staff were friendly and helpful. The ice bar and the ice restaurant were fun, as was the tobogganing and it was great to always have a warm room to hang out by the fire.
Definitely recommend for a unique experience.
Amazing experience. Experience of a lifetime, must do. The hotel is maintained at 10-15C above the outside temperature. Feels cold through your time there, but sleeping bags (with fleece) is pretty warm once you get in. Must do sauna. A couple of warm rooms with provision for sleeping there too (though not required). Good breakfast spread with vegetarian options.
The mos exquisite experience of my life. Very expensive, but worth it every penny. Loved the igloos, dinner at the ice restaurant and the staff are very friendly.
The glass igloos are absolutely amazing and so cosy and warm. So nice to come in to after being out in the cold all day! The SnowHotel is so fun to look around, it’s really cool how you get to see all of the themed rooms before guests show up for the night.
The restaurants were lovely, we had dinner at the SnowHotel which was an amazing experience and the breakfast buffet the next morning was delicious and varied. There is also a public sauna which I thought was great as it was free. The Aurora Alarm is an added bonus in each room - it’s good to know you won’t miss it because you’re asleep.
I would definitely recommend this property - it was romantic and a once in a lifetime experience set in an absolutely stunning backdrop of Finnish forest.
An absolutely amazing experience. Never thought I'd sleep in a room with temperatures inside of -5 and outside -25 but you do.
A once in a lifetime experience, fantastic!!
The resort is amazing but the staff are very unhelpful.
Make sure u take food with you as food is terrible. I paid 220 euro for a buffet with my family which was the worst buffet i have ever had. My children only ate bread and they then told us that they had run out of bread. I told 3 staff members but basically got told bad luck by all of them. Really ruined our experience. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE FOOD WITH YOU!!!!
Unfortunately for us, we got to property very late because we got stuck in snow and had to get tows out. We arrived at 9 and made it just in time for dinner. We were so tired that we did not get to enjoy the facility and we had to get up early for anther activity. It was such a beautiful place. Of course we would have liked to see the Aurora but that’s a chance you take.
This was a beautiful property but I think I just stayed at it during a less-than-ideal time (construction, transition from autumn to winter weather). The room was a great size, facilities were clean, but as it is pretty remote of a location and it is a 40euro RT trip into town, I wish there were more on site options for food/beverages besides the dinner reservations. Even a fridge with grab and go would have been nice. I also wish the public/free sauna was at more convenient times during the day and not just later at night only at 9pm.
I used the airport shuttle and the shuttle to/from town and those were always on time with friendly drivers.
I would definitely stay again if I wanted to catch the auroras, I would just prepare a bit more for having a rental car to go into town or more food and beverages in the room.
