Husband Skied the Kungsleden so I stayed here before he finished and then we both stayed at the end. Lovely hotel and perfect location.

We stayed for two nights as part of a magical trip in Swedish Lapland. We loved it here, the staff were super nice and they allocated an amazing room as we were celebrating a big birthday for my wife. Food at breakfast and lunch was fine but choice was maybe a bit restricted, but we had a fabulous dinner on one of the nights. The walk down to the lake is lovely, as was the Sensing the Arctic installation next to it. Late check out was available for only 150SEK which made our final day a lot easier.

If you want to see the northern lights, this is a safe, warm location to do it. The food is expensive and not very good. The man at the front desk (owner?) wasn’t warm or friendly. Overall, you might have a better experience somewhere else in Abisko at a smaller establishment. I’ve been here twice and it’s still my opinion

A perfectly comfortable spot
Stayed in one of the rooms in the main building. It's perfectly comfortable and nice. The location is perfect too. Breakfast amazing, they even had a tray with vegan cheese, yoghurt, etc. and the porrige was vegan. All good, thank you

Love Abisko Turiststation
Wonderful place that is unusual in both its accommodation offering and the landscape it resides in. Great place with lots of nooks to take it easy, read and pass the time whilst watching the snow fall. Great service and well informed staff.

Clean, warm, quiet room in the heart of Abisko National Park. Northern lights tours pick you up right on the premises. Many hundreds of km of trails with a variety of views around the park right outside the front door. Breakfast buffet was good and the bistro was excellent.

We loved our stay! We stayed two nights and saw the northern lights both nights! We enjoyed hiking around during the day and had plenty to eat at breakfast. We would recommend this place if you’re looking for nature and northern lights!

This stay was wonderful from start to finish. I truly thought the high cost of this facility was due to the location and it being as desolate as it is.. however, I was so wrong. This hotel was perfect. We had a speedy check in, some of the best food we had the whole trip and perfect guest services. BOOK THIS HOTEL! And also book the lights over Lapland tour with it! Best place in the world to see the NLs.

Great location but fees not as described
We booked a superior cabin with breakfast & bedding included, however on arrival we were charged for bedding and told that breakfast was not included as this is not a hotel (which is obvious and felt kind of rude). We were allocated one toilet roll for our 3 guests 2 night stay and had a set amount of hot water that we could use. The wifi did not work in the rooms and there was no TV in the lodge either. I appreciate that this is not a hotel, but we paid £500 for a superior lodge for 2 nights which felt very expensive for what we received. However, the location was absolutely amazing with great views from the lodge which made it better.

The perfect place to stay if you wanna see the Aurora. Just at the entrance of Abisko National Park so there is no light pollution. We stayed there for 2 nights and both of them we saw the northern lights. And the best thing was that we could watch them directly from our window without even leaving the warm room :) The only thing we didn't like was that we had to clean our room prior check out or pay additional fee to the property. I've traveled many countries in different continents and this is the only place where I had to clean the room.

We stayed in a hostel room in a separate building. The hostel was clean and well organized. Large full-ystocked kitchen, shared toilets and showers in each wing (four wings) and nice saunas in the lower level. When booking, we should have been told that everything is closed in the park at this time of year (everything opens again on 17 November) except the hostel. The restaurant was closed (so bring food or walk 3km to nearest store), the nature center was closed, the butik was closed. This would have been good to know when booking. Also, bring house slippers as you are not allowed to wear your shoes past the entry hall (a good thing). You can bring your own sheets and towels or rent them from the hostel (around 170 SEK). Renovated in 2015, the hostel is a great way to see Abisko National Park as it's right at the entry to all trails. The train drops you off right across the street from the hostel and there are carts at the train station that you can use to cart your bags to the hostel.

Nice place
The hotel does not look nice from the outside. However, don't be fooled - it is very nice inside. Another however: the rooms are National Park nice, which means they're a little spartan, but perfectly adequate for a place to launch your adventures from. The food was great; the staff were great (and very helpful during a stormy-road-shutdown); and the setting is phenomenal.

This is basically a hostel.
This is NOT A HOTEL. In fact we incurred an additional charge for renting sheets and one towel apiece. On top of that we were required to clean before our departure. Although the staff was very nice this is an experience more akin to a hostel than anything else. The restaurant was also closed and their little store was only open from 12pm to 5pm so basically inaccessible if you were doing any daytime activities. Take a pass and stay at the Abisko Mountain Lodge where they have great food and a much warmer environment. We ended up eating there on a couple of occasions and found it very enjoyable.

The cleanest hostel ever with a 4 bunk room to myself. Downside. The most expensive hostel i have stayed in. They call it a Tourist Station. If you are in a 4 bunk room share it is a hostel. Single options are available for a lot more money.

The only reason why I would book this accommodation is because close to the start of Kungsleden trail, there aren't many other options. The staff especially was not only unfriendly, but also extremely unhelpful. Also from one day to another, the price for breakfast just went up. When I pointed this out, the only comment I got was: "oh yes, we just increased the price today".

Väldigt mysigt hotell som vi återkommer till år efter år. Fick ett något mindre rum den här gången, och med utsikt mot gården på baksidan, men ändå väldigt nöjda. Sköna sängar, bra frukost och fint med ytterligare en restaurang. Priserna kunde vara något lägre för middagen. Bra med en liten butik för allt från kläder till souvenirer och snacks i byggnaden. Mysigt med en bar i bistron.
