Independent in Arctic Europe from NZ$124

"Clean. Friendky staff. Cebtrally situated"

"The pleasant experience starts at the check-in reception. The staff are cheerful and friendly. Always ready to answer our queries. Buffet breakfast is provided. We visited Santa Claus and the Arctic Circle line. Posted cards home at the Post Office with their unique stamps. The cabins are clean although a little dated. The room is large and nicely lighted on the outside. The shops are reasonable in prices although the restaurant is more pricey. I would recommend this place especially if you like Santa Claus or have children. "

"very good hotel. thank the Chinese staff , she is very nice ahg helpful.."

"The hotel had great food for breakfast in variety and quality. Our stay was great and the city is wonderful with many shops and adventures. The hotel location was central and perfect for our walks. The ship tour we took was fun and 50 feet from the front door of the hotel. The hotel has a bar and patio on a top floor and the views of the city and mountains are amazing."

"Hotel is very well located, clean, accessible. Staff was welcoming. "

"This has probably been my most enjoyable hotel-stay experience in 60 years of World travel!!! I will stay there again if I ever have the need to visit Northern Sweden/Finland again."

"Very good breakfast. Good staff service"

"Thon Svolvaer was a beautiful property with an extensive breakfast buffet, convenient location for the port, and well appointed rooms with lots of room."

"I had a great experience at the Elite Hotel Frost. This was helped, I’m sure, by the fact that I was given a free upgrade to a premium room. The front desk staff were delightful. The lobby was very cozy (giving it a somewhat different feel from the Scandic Hotel around the corner). The restaurant had excellent Lapland-themed meals for dinner and a traditional Swedish breakfast with lots of options (including vegan ones). I loved the design of my room, which was simultaneously upscale and contemporary, but also really brought the feeling of nature into the room. The bed was comfortable, and they had a “pillow menu,” so guests with different preferences could choose the firmness and thickness that worked best for them. The bathroom, similarly, had a stand-out design, with nice use of indirect lighting… and a towel warmer. Being a new hotel, the whole place was impeccable. The newness had its downsides, as the hotel was still a work in progress. The parking garage was not completed (which was fine, since I was there in August and not the snowy months). The spa was open (pool and sauna), but had not yet started offering spa treatments. On the whole, I liked the Elite Frost better than the Scandic, where I stayed last year, though the free upgrade maybe makes this an unfair comparison. Elite Hotel Frost will be my hotel of choice when in Kiruna."
