Gamma cabins cute and comfy.. and NORTHERN LIGHTS!
Booked the Gamma Room to see Northern lights… the clouds cleared and it was magic! The two single beds are easily put together and even moved to the window. The bathroom was very spacious after days on a cruise. I’m sure it’s more beautiful when the snow has fallen, we were concerned about looking out onto a giant white plastic covered structure but at night it looked like snow. Included dinner nice although we had done the king crab tour then given king cr a starter seemed a bit stupid. We walked around the snow hotel part… rooms are similar to the Quebec version. It is an experience but you only need
To do it once !
Wonderful peaceful setting. We stayed in the Snow hotel whilst outside it was warm and sunny. We loved the reindeer and the huskies and enjoyed walking by the fjord. Staff were friendly and helpful and quality of food in restaurant was great. Would definitely recommend
This is a magical place! We fed the reindeer, we played with the husky puppies, we walked down to a Sandy Beach and bathed in the Langefjord. The cabin was beautiful and comfortable with coffee and tea and a lovely porch to look at the beautiful scenery in Finnmark. Stuff for friendly and helpful. We loved our stay!
Everyone at the Snowhotel was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the dogsledding. We spent a night in the Snowhotel. The sleeping bags they provide are very warm. Everything was great. Just keep in mind, there is no plumbing in the Snowhotel. Bathrooms and showers are in an attached building.
What an amazing visit to Snow hotel! We had a family room in the snow hotel which was fabulous ice art. Mom got nervous and the staff was SO gracious and let her stay in a warm cabin ( thankfully one was not yet booked ). Early in the day we did a great crab expedition- just wonderful, informative and delicious! AND the food was hyper local , fresh inventive and five star. ⭐️ fun to see sled dogs working, reindeer wandering and Sami handcraft displays. Thanks for a unique and warm experience!
We had a great time staying in both the cabins and the snowhotel! It’s an experience of a lifetime! It’s not as cold as one is afraid it is, we were very warm all night, my 8yo son slept through the night in the high warmth sleeping bags.
I stayed here one night in the snow hotel and the other in the gamme cabin and it was one of the highlights of my trip. So many great things. Immediately the staff was helpful and friendly. The ice rooms are fun and unique and the cabins a cozy place to warm up on additional days while trying activities such as the crab safari. For ice hotel, there is a space to relax and get to know other travelers before going into the cold for the night. At dinner they paired up solo travelers to give us a chance to connect and not feel as though we were eating alone and I found that remarkable. Michael our captain for the Safari clearly loves his job and wants to give you the best experience and Derk was kind enough to take some pictures for me in the snow hotel so I did not have to use all selfies :). I never got his name, but the man in the restaurant who I checked in with was also very kind and helpful. I was only able to make the dinner one night due to my flight schedule, but the food was absolutely amazing. The space was closed for a private event my last day so I did not get to try more delicious morsels. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for fun and unique experiences where the staff really cares about you. Thanks and hope to see you again one day!
