Guest Review: This property is absolutely amazing. The staff, the view & the activities;all kept us engaged for the 1 night stay my sister & I did in April 2024. The ladies at the reception (Nikolina, Editha & Anna) are helpful, friendly & go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. The staff that gets the activities done are super friendly as well. We did Husky ride & Snow mobile. The experience was a memorable one. 100% likely to return & experience the property in every season that Kirkenes has to offer.
Guest Review: We had an extraordinary stay in the Ice-Hotel, including a very warm and friendly welcome at the reception. The presented ice-art in the hotel looked so nice that we took plenty of pictures. This year the motto was Greek mythology. For couples, which would like to merry, an ice church was available. I can only recommend having at least a visit to this ice-hotel if you’re not a guest. The stay overnight in the sleeping bags was warmer than expected. The outside temperature was -15 degrees, inside -4 to -6. With a hat we had no issues to sleep on these reindeer furs. However, we had afterwards reindeer hair on parts of our clothes. By-the-way, all equipment is provided by the hotel. Before the night we had really good food at the restaurant and a northern light tour. Sleeping at 00:30am we waked up at 07:30. After the night a free sauna visit is possible to warm you up, if necessary. The breakfast was again excellent. In total this stay was one of our highlight visiting Norway in the winter, which we can highly recommend.
