The top place to stay in Kiruna. The hotel offers a great range of cabin types and activities. We spent three wonderful nights there and were well looked after throughout our stay. The main hotel building is a short walk from the chalets and in there you can find the reception (open between 7am-11pm) , the tour desk, the gift and clothes shops, the bar and the restaurant. The Aurora Spa is in a separate building and a special rate is on offer for guests staying at Camp Ripan. We booked a 2-hour session in the second night and it was wonderful sitting outside in a hot spa under the cold and starry sky with each other. Probably the coolest (or coldest) thing that we have ever done in life. Situated at the edge of Kiruna, Camp Ripan allows easy escape to the countryside and provides some and quiet spots for Northern Lights chasing without going too far. The site is about 10 minutes walk from the nearest airport shuttle stop (OK-Hall). The Kiruna Church and the main bus station are also less than 30 minutes on foot. Further afield, the new city centre where the Scandic Kiruna hotel and the Town Hall are, can be visited easily using the local buses.

I would not recommend it
Very disappointed with pretty much everything except the SPA which is a true gem. Service and friendliness of staff is beyond bad and despite being requested to book what time we woukd have breakfast, it was filled with empty pans and plates. Had run out of pancakes, scrambled eggs and bread and refused to refill despite us being there on the booked time and some 20 mins before breakfast closed. Arrogant staff when i asked if there was more scambled eggs (there was a full pan of it with plastics over it behind the counter) and was told they close soon. I would give this place a miss and just use the SPA as a separate activity. Until staff is motivated to treat customers kindly i dont see why one should spend money there.

Wow.
Wow. We had an amazing stay. The room/cabin was really cozy, heated floors made all the difference getting out of the shower. The trailhead to Midnight Sun was right outside our door. Restaurant served excellent dishes with very friendly staff. Lastly, the spa. It was incredible, there are 2 sessions spanning 2 hours. You will want the full 2. Various hot and cold sections with multiple pools and do-it-yourself treatments made the experience incredible. Don't miss out on this. By the way, we paid the same price for 1 night in the dorm like hostel at Turistation - huge upgrade. Recommend 10/10.

Loved the spa and dinner, ability to rent ski equipment! Cozy cabin. I really wish they offered a shuttle to and from the train station, or gave guests a more intentional heads up about the limited availability of taxis. It was really stressful to get to our train on time afterwards when the only taxi company in town was fully booked. Tip to future travelers - either book a taxi far ahead of time, or find out the bus schedule and plan to walk to the bus station in time to take the shuttle from there.

This was a great place to stay! The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The property was beautiful and had a great location in town. The included breakfast was incredibly delicious and the staff were incredibly kind. The only problem I had was that I expected the rooms to have some sort of black out curtains to dampen the sunlight. It was incredibly difficult to sleep at night because the sun was so bright. I didn't realize black out curtains aren't common in the area, where as in Alaska, it's standard. If you're staying, definitely bring sleep masks. However, this forced extra naps which ended up helping me feel better rested. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location a bit away from the center of Kiruna but within walking distance. The cabins could need a fresh update as they are worn out. In our cabin we could not keep an indoor temperature that was acceptable. Not enough heath in the radiators.The cabins are smaller than they appear in photos.
