We booked this trip from the UK with Discover the World as it seemed to be the only agent who could offer a direct flight. Other flights are available and you have to change at Stockholm but there appeared to be too long a wait between transfers. We departed from Heathrow and the actual flight was great. There's 5 rows... More

Spending the night in ice room was an adventure of a lifetime! The staff at IceHotel made it easy. The rooms were beautiful - even the non-suites. They gave us a 15-20 minute talk on sleeping warmly. All of their advice worked; my husband and I slept so warmly that I was unzipping my side of the double sleeping bag... More

Odrp’s review is the best one as it covers EVERYTHING you need to know. Odrp tells you the stuff that your travel agent doesn’t!!! But from my own experience I would say: We booked through Discover The World but if you have the time, book it all yourself. I found DTW rather vague and it took a lot of effort... More

Travelled to Ice Hotel with my husband , 20 yr old son and 17 yr old daughter . Spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day there! I wont say too much as most reviewers have covered this perfectly. Did we have fun- yes! Was it cold- not too bad- only -5 when we were there. Excursions were done through Kiruna Guidetors-... More

The whole experience is fantastic - the night in the ice room (put off for as long as possible to avoid the need to use a bathroom in the night), the restaurant where the food is very good, the ice bar (and the lovely vodka!), the ice sculptures - how do they do that? The evening on the snowmobiles to... More

Absolutely fabulous hotel together with the whole experience would highly recommend it. Like odrp review I will try and hopefully give helpful suggestions. When sleeping in the cold rooms they give you an inner sheet to put into your sleeping bag – do this in the main building in the dry warmth and not wait until you get into your... More

We visited the ICEhotel between 27-30/1/2012 from the UK. This long review is intended for anyone looking for the specific details about planning their short visit to the area. (v1) OUR ITINERARY IN A NUTHSELL: Friday – LHR to Kiruna via Stockholm with SAS arriving 3pm. 15 mins bus transfer to Jukkasjarvi to the ICEhotel. Stay in traditional warm cabin.... More

We stayed for three days in December 2011 just before the official opening and thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately it snowed for most of the visit so we didn't get to see the Northern Lights but nevertheless it was a great experience. Three days, in my view is about the right length of stay; beyond that and there is little to... More

This is a truly amazing wonderful place, we stayed in a snow room, the sleeping bags are so warm, the only part of you that gets cold is your nose!! The snow suits, boots and mittens are excellent, and keep you lovely and warm and dry, you just need good layers of thermals and fleece. Hotel staff very friendly, efficient... More
