Spis Hotel & Hostel

Avoid this place if you don’t want to get disappointed. The premises are in a worn down and sad state in a depressing part of the dismantled Kiruna. The beds are like bath tubs. The manager is arrogant and not attentive to guests. Despite claiming to have a fully furnished kitchen they don’t even have a toaster. Plates and glasses are missing. You can stay here, but expect to find it under maintained and over priced.

Rooms were spartiate, but we knew that when we booked. As our intention was not to spend an awful lot of time indoors, we just needed a bed and breakfast. Beds are OK. (it shows that maintenance is downgrading due to the imminent destruction of the old city) Breakfast was amazing, great 'stuff'. Gravlax for breakfast is a dealbreaker. As Spis is also a 'bageri', their bread and fika were very good. Great choice in teas and herbal teas. Staff was very friendly. Fun fact: not a lot of people going to the free sauna, we had the place all to ourselves. I do hope the hotel continues to exist at the new address.
