I stayed at Hotel Vinterpalatset for 7 nights when in Kiruna (with one night at Ice Hotel in the middle of my stay). It is a charming, small, boutique-style hotel in a very central location in Kiruna (about 5 minutes walk from the town centre/2 minutes from the train station). The place was clean, the decor was traditional Swedish (old... More

Nice hotel with friendly staff, 5 min walk from city center. Old fashioned furniture but everything was in perfect condition. We stayed one night before going to the Icehotel for a cold night. This was great since the Kiruna Tours are located close by, as well as some great restaurants. Would definitely stay at Vinterpalatset again. More

We stayed in Hotell Vinterpalaset on our way to Abisko National Park to see the Northern Lights (which we did!) and were very happy to have found this little gem. It's conveniently located close to the train station and oozes Swedishness in its style and colours. The room we had was very big, had all the amenities and was also... More

We stayed here for three nights in March of 2012. The hotel is a quick 5 minute walk from the train station but it is all uphill so with any amount of luggage it might be a bit difficult. The hotel itself is quite nice. It is definitely old and maybe slightly dated but I personally think that adds to... More

For the price we paid I expected more. First, receptionist we had to hunt as Aurora borealis. Each time we needed something there wasn't anyone there, we had to wait,to go around.... Room was small and not perfectly clean. Breakfast was really good. Location is very good, next to the train station, few min walking from the center of Kiruna.... More

Spent three nights here after new year, excellent place. Traditional old Swedish house with plenty of character. It's close to both the train station and the main town. We had a lovely room which was a lot bigger than expected, which was tastefully and individually furnished - a long way from the identikit chain hotels! The bathroom was a little... More

Stayed here one night after arriving on the "train" (i.e. replacement bus) from Narvik. A short sharp uphill walk from the train station and a ten minute hike into the Kiruna town center. Plenty of parking for those with a car across the street. I was given a large room across from reception. Very comfortable although decor was dated. I... More

Apperently someone who liked their food spicy ;) Apart from this, the room was very clean, but the furniture a bit outdated....and not in a good way. There were alot of... More

I stayed here for most of a week in August, while attending a meeting at the Luleå Universitet Rymdcampus. The hotel was very pleasant, great breakfasts, comfortable and quiet rooms. I enjoy running, and used the trails and roads from the hotel and along the railway for exercise every morning -- very scenic, always something interesting along the railway line.... More
