Beautiful location, stylish rooms and excellent staff. The fine dining restaurant and its tasting menu was terrific. So was the food in the Lavvu restaurant although I hope they expand the menu to include more choices in the future. Breakfast was buffet and plentiful. We stayed a night at the Ice Hotel which was a fun experience. We also went on two excursions with them which we enjoyed. I write for the blog Paradox Travels and will do an extended review there. So if interested, look us up and read a more extensive review with photos there in the upcoming month.

Fantastic!!
The hotel itself is lovely and the staff are very friendly. Bedrooms are a good size with lovely bathrooms and amazing views. The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is excellent. The restaurant Makku was excellent however you cannot really eat there every night. Lavvu which is the other restaurant is nice however when you were there for more than two or three days the menu is a bit repetitive. the excursions were excellent and the guides were fantastic. Overall an incredible stay and a great experience.

Yö 30 asteisessa hotellihuoneessa
Aivan täydellinen hotelli sijainnin ja palveluiden osalta. Ravintolassakin kertakaikkisen hyvä menu. MUTTA onnistuneelle yöpymiselle ja majoituksen mukavuudelle oli pakko antaa huonot pisteet huoneen lämpötilan takia. Hotels.comin sivustolla huoneen kuvauksessa mainittiin ilmastointi. Hotellin omalla sivustolla (kun tuohtuneena sitä paikan päällä tarkastelin) ilmastointia ei kylläkään mainita. Huoneessamme oli tullessa lämpötila 31 astetta, yön aikana laski 26 asteeseen pation oven ollessa auki ja paikalta saadun ’ilmastointilaitteen’ hyrrätessä täysillä. Mitään hyvitystä huoneen hinnasta emme saaneet, ainoastaan saimme veloituksetta perua toisen yön (kun olimme tehneet varauksen kahdesta yöstä). Tämä jäi harmittamaan. Hotellin johto ei reagoinut tilanteeseen oikealla tavalla. Tämän tason hotellissa 30 asteen huonelämpötila ei ole hyväksyttävä.

Unser Aufenthalt in der Artic Wilderness Lodge war ausgezeichnet und wir können das Hotel ausnahmslos empfehlen. Das Speiseangebot ist vom Frühstück bis hin zum Fine Dining Abendessen außergewöhnlich lecker und mit einer super lokalen Auswahl. Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr ruhig und naturbelassen. Es ist der perfekte Ort um abzuschalten, die Natur zu genießen und die Nordlichter zu beobachten. Wir haben im Hotel zudem eine Snowmobil Tour gebucht, die wir ebenfalls nur empfehlen können.

Vakkert og fredfylt
Sjeldent vakker natur med levende fjell og en levende elv. Det er noe uskyldig og ekte ved hele stedet. Sorrisniva har alt man trenger, men der kunne gjerne vært litt flere alternativer på menyene for vegetarianere. Men maten var kjempegod! De ansatte var søte og hjelpsomme. Anbefaler snøscooterturen, da fikk vi komme opp på Finnmarksplatået og kjenne på den ville naturen. Ishotellet var også en vakker opplevelse vel verd å få med seg.

Well, if you need a tv-set in your room > this hotel is not for you. We were not even thinking about missing features! The photos will not give you the real picture and feeling of this great place!
