Quite a good state at this hotel, activities are very touristy, snow Yoga overrated definitely ! cabins very comfortable and warm and lovely atmosphere. definitely stay here and don’t bother with the ice Hotel.. this place seems to just cater for the masses not very individual

We stayed in the Snowhotel for 2 nights in October on their autumn package. I have to say we were really disappointed. The hotel is currently a building site with many areas of construction so really not very peaceful. This was not mentioned at any time when we booked. If you are staying overnight in the ice-room you basically have no room or even personal area. We checked in off a Havila cruise at 10am and up until 3pm the following day when we moved in to a cabin, we had nowhere to go apart from a communal lounge. There are no lockers for your clothes so you have to leave them on top of your luggage in a store room which anyone can access- including groups just touring the hotel. They provide two curtained changing cubicles where you are supposed to get ready to sleep. When we arrived back at midnight from the Northern lights chase there were twelve of us all trying to get changed in the same space. It felt like we were in a hostel rather than a decent hotel. The next morning we were soaking wet after a walk but our cases had been moved - we discovered to the porch of the cabin but we were told we could not access it until 3pm. Instead staff said we would just have to get our dry clothes from the cases and change in a luggage room behind reception! No offer to go and get our luggage and bring it back to us. We also had a very unpleasant and dangerous experience during a husky walk due to a lack of basic safety instructions and an inexperienced staff member. I have given details of this directly to the hotel hopefully to prevent anyone suffering a serious injury in future. On a positive note the cabins are lovely once you get in them, If you are planning to go I would recommend staying in a cabin and you can just tour the ice-rooms.

We arrived at SnowHotel on 25 September and stayed for 2 nights. The check in was smooth and the ladies at the check in are helpful and friendly. The cabin was fantastic , clean and comfortable with great views. There was quite a bit of construction work going on which detracts from the beauty of the place. The ice hotel is definitely worth a visit and walk around. The king crab fishing and the hike with the huskies are highly recommended . The staff and contractors involved in both activities are professional, friendly and obviously knowledgeable in what they do. We were booked for the northern lights on 25 Sept evening. It was cloudy and raining, the forecast was minimal to zero possibility of seeing the Aurora. The driver came across as not enthusiastic about the drive, nor does she show much knowledge or professionalism. All we got from the drive IN THE RAIN was being dropped off at about 3 places where the ten of us were told to get down from the bus and try to see with our cameras if there was any Aurora in The rain and cloudy skies. We were driven to the border check point with Russia - not sure why ? - it was so bright at the check point that even amateurs like us know it’s too bright to see any Aurora there!! The whole evening and the drive was a waste of time and handled unprofessionally. We understand there is no guarantee of the Aurora at anytime. BUT surely it must be clear to the professionals running the tour ( or did we assume wrongly that they are professionals?) with the rain and cloudy weather it would be better to cancel and refund us , or offer us the tour for the next night! Overall the location is beautiful but felt that there are improvements to be made and the management could and should show some interests in the feedback provided on social media.
