The property is secluded and about 30 mins away from city center. It is in a nicely quietly situated area. The goal of the trip was to hopefully see lady Aurora and to stay in an igloo. This resort met those expectations! I was very fortunate Aurora did her show right above my igloo! What a dream that was. I know Lady Aurora is a natural phenomenon, I was just very fortunate she did her show the night I stayed. I liked how the hotel offered the snow tubing and was able to walk on the frozen lake! It was truly a winter wonderland. They also included the Arctic snowhotel tickets in my stay which was a plus. I dined in the Ice restaurant for the experience and truly did not disappoint! I would stay at this hotel again!
The igloo is a nice experience to sleep in for one night (in the hope to see the northern lights), however the price is not worthy for the space and comfort of the accommodation. The breakfast had a large selection of high quality food, the staff was friendly and the cocktails at the Skybar were nice. The parking for cars was a bit too far from the igloo, especially with adverse weather conditions.
The Arctic snow motel in glass egg lose was an amazing experience. We stayed in one of the Ilie‘s and saw the northern lights. The staff was amazing and very helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The dinner buffet was not worth the money.
The glass igloos are stunning, it's so lovely to be able to sleep under the stars in a warm and cosy room! Dinner and breakfast options were good, they offer a nice range of activities that can be booked, staff are super friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is breathtaking too! We had a great time staying at ArcticSnow Hotel!
This was a very unique experience. Enjoyed the glass ceiling. The area by the lake was very beautiful. We enjoyed the tour of the property. Alert bell to wake up to see the the northern lights were helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
The dinner was not great for the exorbitant price you pay. But the breakfast was good.
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.
