Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos

Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos

10/10 Excellent
"Enjoyed staying in the igloo. Staff very helpful. Used a great local taxi (arranged by reception) to get around as uber declined to pick us up. There’s not much to do in the immediate vicinity but easy to get to Santa village and town centre. We stayed when there was no snow and snow hotel was not built, so will return in the snowy season to see it."

"Our 2-night stay at Pyrykieppi was short but absolutely perfect. The cottage was warm, cosy, and so thoughtfully equipped - from the sleds, games, sledge and headlamps to the thermos and little comforts that made everything easy and fun. Those touches made us feel truly cared for. Even in such a short stay, we made memories we'll treasure. And, to top it all off, the northern lights appeared right from the driveway! Perfect!!"

"Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, set in a beautiful location. Juho was very responsive and made everything easy. We had a small issue with the hot tub, and he arrived within minutes to fix it. The location was perfect for us, just 30 minutes from Rovaniemi. Overall, a brilliant experience and highly recommended."
