I had wanted to stay at Sorrisniva since seeing Joanna Lumley visit there on TV. I arrived there in a blizzard but received a really warm welcome. I had a tour of the facilities and there was everything I needed in the main service building: luggage-storage, toilets/showers/sauna, lounge with an open, roaring fire (could be a good place to take...

We spent a night ashore at the Igloo Hotel whilst on a Saga Sapphire cruise. A wonderful experience albeit it very expensive. The price is understandable given Saga's mark up and that it is only there for about three months. Reindeer skins and arctic sleeping bags don't come cheap. Even the visit to the loo at 4.30 am allowed us... More

1-night stay preceded by night snowmobile safari and dinner - SNOWMOBILE SAFARI Fun, very dark night (new moon). Not much to see after all but well equipped so that we do not suffer from temperatures below -20C. As there is not much to do anyway around, that was a good way to remain busy until dinner time - DINNER Really... More

A visit and a drink at the ice bar organised as a tour from our cruise ship. A stunning hotel, very quirky with amazing ice sculptures. One of the designers showed us around, what a lovely person, so friendly and informative. Its a must to visit and would be a great experience to stay, but maybe more the younger generation.... More

The start of our amazing night at Sorrisniva began in Tromso. There we picked up a rental and drove for six hours through breathtaking fjords and villages. On arrival, we began a unique experience I will never forget. We started with a fantastic dinner in the hotel resteraunt. The meal could rival many relais and chateaux we have stayed at... More

This hotel is absolutely amazing and one of the most unique I've ever stayed in. I'm from South Florida and not used to the cold at all, so with the igloo being kept below zero, I was worried about being able to sleep here. It is freezing, but there are warm sleeping bags, blankets, and reindeer skins to keep you... More

Returned from Northern Lights cruise on 28th Feb. Stunning trip with Lights "performing for 4 consecutive nights - simply magaical. Ship is on the small side as compared to P&O, Carnival, etc., but still very nice. Some attention to detail was missing - frayed table linen for example. Entertainment crew worked very hard and deserve applauding - great shows. Two... More

Well I wasn't encouraged to sleep over, even tho' the bridal suite did look inviting! Alas I wasn't a bride! Nonetheless the hotel is a work of genius in my opinion and something not to be missed if you journey to Alta. Everything is ice absolutely everything with the exception of reindeer skins hopefully which would keep one warm throughout... More

I cannot fault the way this hotel has been built and what the 2 owner/brothers have done to make it such a memorable experience. The staff were all exceptional, service excellent and the head chef cooks to die for. The evening dinner I could not fault .Ok , the bottle of Prosecco was £45 .....but all alcohol is expensive in...

Coming all the way from Australia for a European winter, it certainly was a nervous time when we arrived at the ice hotel not knowing how the night would go. We were welcomed by very friendly staff and then the chef discussed the dinner menu with us. The meal was absolutely fantastic and the chef is certainly of the highest... More
