Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos

Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos

8/10 Good
"The glass houses are located in an area where you have to drag your suitcase through gravel. It makes it hard to get to. Rooms are small but fine for a 1 night stay. Breakfast was good. Dinner in the ice restaurant is cold as you can imagine and food is ok for the cost. Drinks on the property are expensive. "
