8.8/10 Excellent! (26 reviews)

The owner, Peder, was extremely friendly and helpful as were all his staff, the hotel is small but very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The hotel restaurant is fabulous and worth the relatively high prices, but not realistic to eat there every night; the only other option nearby is an Italian restaurant adjacent to a service station, that doubles as a transport cafe.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (69 reviews)

This is it. The rustic inn is only accessible by a handsome Swede driving a snowmobile, who comes to pick you up at the car park, carting your luggage padded by reindeer pelts. (You can also easily walk to the cars, which is only about 1/4 mile downhill from the Inn.) You can hop on your skiis and glide down to the nearest ski lift, popping back in for a fantastic lunch. The food is really excellent. A full European (complimentary) breakfast with choice of egg temperatures, several types of ham, cheese, yogurts and an authentic, Swedish-style vaffel station. Dinner is an elegant prix-fixe in a cozy fireside setting. The hot tub / sauna situation puts it over the top for a relaxing, fun getaway. There is a shared bath for every three room ratio, and this was never a problem. Each room as a sink as well. The staff was extremely professional and friendly and went above and beyond starting before I ever arrived. Excellent value for the unparalleled experience. This is, by far, my favorite hotel in the world. Yes.
