The Gamme cabins are super cozy. Every detail sums up to a very enjoyable stay form the book explaining the hotel conception to the delicious hot cocoa powder. The hotel amenities are just an extension of your room (the lounge in particular). Delicious candlelight dinner and breakfast buffet with all the local delights! Hotel staff extremely friendly and polite. Top notch service all the way! Thank you for the very pleasant stay!!

The location was excellent. Although we could not get the whole snow experience (we went in summer) but still had an enjoyable stay. We did the hike behind the resort by ourselves and found it a good hours exercise. The trail was marked but it was a little tricky to negotiate in parts, watch out for mosquitoes! We really loved the huskies, they were so very happy and clearly well looked after. The Sami experience was very informative and interesting, feeding the reindeer was fun.

The curtains in our cabin (no14) did not fully close so let in the sun at 3am which was not so good. The bathroom did not have sufficient hanging space for our things, an additional towel rail would be very helpful. The towels were also a little worn. Most annoying though was the very long wait for food to be served at the evening meal in the restaurant - we waited for just over an hour on our first night.

What an amazing and unique place and experience! I've heard about the Snowhotel before but nothing could prepare me for what a wonderful experience it actually is . Decided to visit Kirkenes after a trip to the North Cape. Little did I know that the Snowhotel would become the highlight of my entire trip. And the magical North Cape experience, the chill atmosphere in Tromsø, and picturesque Lofoten are truly hard to beat. Incredibly friendly and super helpful staff. Lots of nice guests in great spirits. The restaurant offers exquisite food. One gets to even experience reindeer 🦌 and huskies 🐺 kept on location. The cabin is beautiful and luxuriously equipped. And then there is the unique Snow Hotel itself. Something that can't be described in words easily and truly needs to be experienced.

That I chose only to stay one day . 😞 Hope I'll come back one day and experience it also in winter.

We stayed in a cabin which was very nice but the armchairs were not as pictured and not very comfortable and this was the main sitting area. The bathroom does not have a window so you are reliant on an extractor fan and there was a strange smell in the cabin and lingered for the stay. We enjoyed the Husky ride but it was incredibly expensive for 40 mins ( I have done this before for much less and longer rides ) £360 for 2 people sharing one sled.

It was quite expensive for what it was overall. We had our meals included in our room rate as you don't have many choices. The food was very tasty and nicely presented. Service was excellent and the staff were super. The roads were very slippery even when gritted. You need the spikes the Norwegians put on their shoes

I loved it, wasn’t expecting to originally book into the ice rooms as I just went with the cheaper accommodation available. I booked a nights accommodation with breakfast, I wasn’t expecting transport from hotel in Kirkenes and back to cruise terminal. Nor an a La carte 3 course meal for dinner. It was a great experience, took in what we were shown at the dinner of what to do for a warm night of sleep. Tip make sure you get a sleeping bag with a zipper not Velcros as I heard a lady at breakfast saying that her velcros kept coming undone. I had a really warm night of sleep. The scenery was postcard worthy. I would stay here again. Sorry unable to upload photos, app isn’t closes out when I try.

Showhotel Kirkenes is the BEST place to stay if you are in Kirkenes - it is total new and you a warm welcome and very nice staff in the restaurant. you will get arctic Nature and show architecture in world class - The Cabins are fantastic and we loved it. We also tried to sleep 1 night in the Showhotel and it was a cold but fun experience. The breakfast and the lical 3 course dinner is also included - it is unique and warm experience. Try also the icebar in the evening :) This has been a truly winter attraction for us and not to forget the 170 husky dogs which is a nice to Go around Them.

The snow hotel experience is something completely different. It is like sleeping in an ice cavern. The lighting and ice sculptures were very nice. The sleeping bags are warm, and the beds are comfortable. Of course, it’s not possible to have plumbing in a structure made of ice, so showers and bathrooms are in a separate facility. The kids loved feeding the reindeer and the endless petting opportunities in a dog yard with 150+ dogs. Good restaurant and great service.

Not a dislike, but more of a heads up: The location is beautiful, but not within walking distance of any other services. Also, if you’re sleeping in one of the snow rooms and need to get up at night, walking 50 meters to the toilets through tunnels of ice is cold.

The staff were incredible. The native Norwegians are such a beautiful people in every way, especially spiritually. There was also a healthy amount of Argentinians there, all of whom were also wonderful people. It was so nice to have such a mix of staff and every single one went above and beyond to make us comfortable and welcome. I even forgot to ask about whether I could use a CPAP machine in the cold room and we could!! They had to get a power cable extension. When we booked none were available but apparently someone chose to change to a cabin. Apparently we were the first to ask to go from Cabin to cold room in winter. We 100% recommend again. Also the food was incredible

Having to leave!

All the staff (reception, dinner and breakfast, kind crab safari, husky handlers, drivers) I interacted with were super nice and helpful. I stayed one night at the snow hotel and one night at a cabin. For the snow hotel they provide you with a tour where everything is explained. You receive warm woolen socks, a balaclava, a warm sleeping bag with a liner. I enjoyed my night in the snow. For me it was a once in a lifetime experience and I am glad I got to do it here. My stay at the cabin was perfect. It is a well tought out space. Ideal for watching the Northern Lights all snuggled up. There are some nice walks you can do up the mountain near the reception and also along the river. It was a great place to relax and enjoy my last two days in Norway. And the puppies and reindeer are the cutest!

The experience was quite unique (reindeers, huskies, sleeping arrangements). The hotel provided us with excellent sleeping bags and amenities that made me warm while sleeping on ice. The food was fresh and tasty with a lot of varieties for breakfast.

If you’re sleeping on ice, you have your room just to sleep in because it is shown to tourists in all other times, and given the price you pay, it would be great to make some activities for the Snowhotel guests. It would also be great if transportation from/to hotel is included in all prices. I felt that the hotel is more of a tourist attraction than an actual hotel.
