The hotel is at a great location, about a 1 minute walk to the Kiruna Train Station. It has a homey feel to it and the staff are very friendly and very accommodating. We arrived quite early and they made sure our room was ready quickly. My partner preferred it to the Scandic (whereas I thought it was a tie,... more

What a wonderful place to end up when rest and recouperation are just what the Dr ordered. The hotel is warm, wonderful and welcoming. Our family 4 bed room consisted of large double and 2 x bunk beds all extremely comfortable - shower room small but clean and perfect having just left a wilderness cabin without facilities. In addition we... more

Excellent, friendly hotel - small, comfortable, nicely furnished, top class extensive buffet breakfast.

Hotel Rallaren is awesome in so many ways!! I'll start from the beginning....it is right across the road from the train station, which is great in the artic. We got off our overnight train, 5 hours later than we should have, in swirling snow and freezing wind feeling more than a little sorry for ourselves. Then like a shining light... more

We stayed at the Rallaren in December - wonderful snow and it was the best hotel that we have ever stayed at in terms of friendliness and service. It has a great location and they arranged for a taxi from the airport for us (cheap). Katterina was so kind and helpful she even drove us somewhere to save us taxi... more

The hotel is situated right across the road from Kiruna train station, which is a 5min walk up the hill to the main town square, so location was fine. We stayed in a double room that was spacious and comfortable, before switching for one night into... more

One of the best surprises of our trip to northern Sweden, we enjoyed everything about the Rallaren. We made the reservation with Sari (the manager) by email. We used the hotel as a base before and after a week of hiking and camping on the Kungsleden. Sari, Eda and Stina took care of us like family. The hotel is located... more

Another weekend alacarte triumph; visited Kiruna over the Easter Holidays and had wonderful husky wilderness and skidoo trips (as well as an exquisite stay in a suite at the Ice Hotel). As it was the holidays, Kiruna was mostly shut down at the weekend so it wasn't the best of places to be for exploring/shopping/eating or even drinking. But it... more

We're just back from a superb 'Weekend a la Carte' Easter break. We spent three days in the wilderness, staying in a traditional hut and sleeping on reindeer skins, and two nights either side of that at the Hotel Ralleren. Most reviews of this hotel are very favourable. And there's a reason for this - it's great! It's pretty much... more
