Overall Ratings & Reviews Abisko Guesthouse & Activities

Very recommendable. I wish I had stayed longer. People friendly and very cozy.

Nice helpful staff , great location to enjoy northern lights.

This place activities included, which is a plus. Unless you are able to get reservation available at mountain Lodge restaurant one has to cook their food, hence ga ing the super market is very helpful. Walkable from bus station and Abisko Ostra train station. If it's an activity that you book with someone else, make sure to have pick up option from your hotel in Abisko.

The write-up on hotels.com did not make it clear that my double room was in an “apartment” which shared facilities (one toilet and one shower) with 2 other rooms. For the price I paid (£188 for a single night) I had expected significantly more. The bed was not a double bed - it was two singles pushed together with separate mattress pads (which didn’t meet) and single bedspreads. You were also expected to make your own bed. I don’t mind roughing it, but for that kind of price and for it not to have been made clear that the facilities were shared, this is not acceptable.

We enjoyed our time in Abisko and the Guesthouse but if you’re looking for high end sleeping accommodations, easy transportation, restaurants, and privacy.. this is not for you. My husband and I enjoyed our stay but I personally can’t say I would stay there again. But if you just need a spot to sleep, then this is for you! It’s a different kind of experience. Glad I tried it, but wouldn’t do it again.

Pretty much a hostel with private rooms, staff were very friendly and helpful but everything else felt a little bit run down, the pillows are probably 10 years old. Kitchen areas are decent and bathrooms are ok. Decent value for the price but could be a little cheaper

Nice propertyt, near the town supermarket. This is a must during one stays, specially when most restaurants close after the summer season. It is also very close to the lake side if you come to Abisko to catch a glimpse of the Nortern lights where you can just walk over and have one of the best viewing area. The staffs are superb and very helpful. I highly recommend and I will stay here again should I visit Abisko again.

Wonderful

Very helpful staff, clean room, quiet location.

Very basic facilities. Room is very tinny not enough space between upper bunk bed and ceiling. No place to sit in the room. Reception staff was very friendly and helpful. Gave us lots tips and guidance. Given us lots of useful information. Even after checkout, reception allowed us to use the communal area in the afternoon before we travel - this is a fantastic facility/service to guests.

This hostel is noisy and often marketed as a hotel which leads to people treating it as a hotel leaving messes everywhere. The tours offered through them are a joke and nothing more than a money grab.

I liked the location (very close to the train) and certain aspects of the property (the communal kitchen/living room was cool), but I had two major issues. The first is that the website is misleading and does not clearly disclose that you will be sharing a bathroom; I booked a private "superior queen room" and when you look at the pictures for it, it includes a bathroom and doesn't indicate that it's shared. The second issue was the bedding. It was incredibly cheap and uncomfortable and both my partner and I woke up with neck/back pain, which never happens to us in hotels. It was because the property provided one (1!) uncomfortable, flat, small square pillow per guest, and a very thin mattress pad. Given that the cost of this room ($300) was on par with what other more traditional hotels in the area charged for private rooms, it was a bad value. It would cost all of $100 to upgrade the bedding in the room we stayed in to be comfortable and not cause physical pain. It's a shame, because I liked talking to the other guests and the location of the property, but given the combination of the misleading information about the bathroom, the most uncomfortable bedding I've ever encountered, and the lack of competitive pricing compared to private rooms in nicer facilities nearby, I can't honestly say that I'd pick this particular property again.

The apartment was big and clean, and the staff at the reception were nice and friendly as well. We also had a friendly and knowledgeable driver whom fetched us safely from Abisko Guesthouse to Kiruna Airport. It would be perfect if both shower gel and shampoo were provided, same for sugar as well, though these are small matters and nothing much to complain about overall.

We stayed as a family here for three nights. Our main purpose was to do hikes nearby and hope to catch the Aurora. It is located within walking distance from the Abisko Ostra train station. Abisko guest house provides all the facilities of a clean room with a common kitchen and dining area. There is a grocery very close by for you to get food etc. I don't think there is any restaurant here. You can rent warm clothing sets and this is very handy if you are going to be out for a long time in cold weather. The staff are also very helpful in guiding you. If you plan to do any day time hikes, then most of these trails start from Abisko Turistation. No problem if you have a car. If you don't, it is about 3 km from the guest house. There is a nice walking path to Abisko turistation, but you have to factor this extra distance in case you are planning hikes from there. The guesthouse staff also help you in case you want to do different guided hikes, aurora tours etc. There is a paid guest laundry facility also available. We had a very enjoyable stay here. Thank you.

Excellent place to stay. Close to Abisko train station. Nice staff.

Staff Moa and Lucas went the extra mile to ensure their guests have a comfortable stay in the guesthouse.

Abisko was very beautiful. We did some hiking which was gorgeous. We did a tour to Norway which was awesome!

Highly disappointed, I feel I was ripped off for paying so much for this “hotel”. This was a hostel not a hotel. Shared bathroom with 3 other rooms, not comfortable at all, had to make your own bed, didn’t feel clean or safe. Hotel also cancelled our excursion 1 day before with not good reason.

The location is great. It's near the train station, supermarket and walkable to the lake. The Aurora sky station is 2 km from the guesthouse. Apartment room is simple, no frill but fully equipped with kitchen, living area and 1 bedroom. There is a common area with kitchen, washing machine as well. There is a lot of activities which arrange by the guesthouse. We chose Aurora BBQ. It's lovely BBQ dinner in Sami's hut behind the guesthouse. Once we finished we chased aurora together and found it. Staffs are lovely, kind and helpful.

Good location and friendly staff
