We stayed in one of the igloo and it was the most unique and magical experience. Felt like we were in a fairytale. We arrived too early for check in but Marina was so kind and helpful. She kept our luggages for us and had them delivered to our igloo. She went above and beyond helping us look for activities to do the following day. She called multiple places to check availabilities and send links to a few others. She took the time and care to make sure we were taken care of even outside of our stay at the property. 10/10. Highly recommend!

We’ve never paid so much for such an uncomfortable experience. The check-in time stipulated on Expedia is a lie - you do not have access to your room until 9pm when the public stops walking through the hotel. Until this time you have to bide your time in the property where you have to spend money if you want anything - even a cup of tea. The ice hotel is a novel experience - but in actuality the night was very uncomfortable and definitely not worth the price tag
