“The snow hotel is absolutely amazing! I cannot believe they build it in three weeks! We had dinner in the restaurant which was both amazing as an experience, and the food was truly delicious! Our waitress was absolutely fabulous had a great sense of humour and was very accommodating and taking photographs et cetera. The tour of the rooms within the hotel was totally amazing! I cannot believe every single room is completely different and absolutely amazing. The ice chapel is gorgeous and the ice bar is definitely somewhere to have a drink. Bizarrely it’s much warmer in the ice hotel than it was the whole week we were there……”

Review of Rovaniemi’s Arctic SnowHotel dinner, snow sauna, jacuzzi, ice bar, transfers, menu, price, and practical tips.
“We felt that the overall experience was excellent and the Ice Hotel and snow sauna were very unique experiences. However, we were asked to be at the meeting point 1/2 hour prior to the start of the experience. That seemed somewhat excessive, but we were willing to do that to prevent any unnecessary delays. But when the bus transporting us came 15 to 20 minutes late, it meant that we had to stand out in the cold for approximately 45 minutes for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If you are going to demand punctuality from your guests, you should make sure that the transportation is punctual as well.Read more”

“The event was amazing, having time to explore a wide variety of wintery activities. The bus did not collect us and another family, we were all there early and waiting about 40 minutes, the bus did not turn up. Called Apukka resort and they said the bus had turned up. We disputer this. Had to get an Uber to get us there in time for the start. It all felt a bit rushed to sit down have food and then get into winter clothing. Food was delicious. Husky ride was fun and petting the dogs afterwards was lovely, tubing great, my family tried skiing for the first time. Our daughter…”

Restaurant is lovely, fire, lovely big windows looking out on the snow, good wines available and lovely food- staff really lovely too. Kids books etc & packs of cards available to use.

“A különböző programok résztvevőit közös busszal vitték a belvárosi találkozóhelyről Apukkaba. A csoportokat utána itt osztották szét. Egy rövid útmutatás után indultunk a kb. 2,5 km-es sétára a fagyott távon és erdőben. A túravezetők nagyon tájékozottak és kedvesek voltak. Sokat magyaráztak a természetről, növényekről, állatokról és az ökoszisztémáról, amit nagyon hasznosnak találtunk. A túra számunkra egyáltalán nem volt megterhelő, én személy szerint inkább fáztam, mintsem kimelegedtem. Ízelítőnek azonban kiváló volt. Egyetlen negatívumként említhető, hogy először csak egy kis buszt küldtek, amire nem fért fel mindenki, így aki lemaradt még várnia kellett. Mi szerencsére felfértünk az első...”
