Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the lovely and cosy cabins at Snow Resort Kirkenes, some offering bush views, and many appreciate the modern and new feel of the cabins. The location is considered amazing, conveniently situated near the airport or cruise arrival point, and the resort itself provides a mini theme park experience with reindeer and over 160 Alaskan Huskies. While the ice hotel experience is unique, some guests have found the ice rooms to be less comfortable for sleeping compared to the cabins, and that the ice hotel can be a little melted.

adequate stay overall

amazing location comfortable cabins great trails missing safe no minibar missing conditioner

the location is certainly amazing. cabins are great, comfortable and warm. i found many attractions available like husky mountain hike and king crab safari. great walking trails are located around the area..

i found the gamme cabins did not have a safe or minibar and fridge. i did put some drinks outside to keep cool but someone cleaned up our snow pile and the drinks with it. the bathroom had combined body wash and shampoo and no conditioner..
