Review of Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos 3*

We have just come back from 2 nights here and it was a wonderful and unique experience. The snow hotel is bizzare but a once in a lifetime opportunity. The small rooms are too small in my opinion so we upgraded to a suite so we didn't feel as scared. The suites have alot of detailed carvings and what with there only being a curtain for a door you feel a bit safer. The staff are really friendly and accomodating, the only thing that lets the snow hotel down is the locker, shower and toilet facilities are all spread out and it would have been a much more enjoyable experience If that had been more thought out. The fire room is a nice touch to have drinks and we got talking to alot of other guests about the whole experience. We are so glad that we hired a car otherwise we would have been so bored during the day and we got to fit in alot as we could go and do our own thing. We went for our 4th wedding anniversary and went for the private Snow sauna, Finnish sauna and outside Jacuzzi which finished off the evening lovely. The snow sauna is amazing as you experience the hot and cold elements as you are literally surrounded by ice. We spend most of the time in the outdoor Jacuzzi overlooking the forest. One evening we had dinner in the kota restaurant which is lovely and has an authentic feel to it will a Smokey log fire. We are vegan and they catered to our needs. Loved feeding the reindeer on-site. We saw a dim view of the northern lights dancing but not the bright wow effect we had hoped for. The igloo bed with tilt functions was heaven and a bit shower after the ice hotel. Was lovely falling asleep under the stars. It was thick snow and soo picturesque.
