Snowman World Igloo Hotel, Rovaniemi

We spent the afternoon playing in the slides, after visiting Santa Claus we decided to spend an afternoon here. We pay 20 euros per head and we were able to visit the bar of ice, restaurant and hotel, curious to leave a photos very cool. But the best thing was jumping down slides and try to skate. We spent a fun afternoon.

From 15 days in Lapland, it seemed obvious to see the famous village of Santa Claus and his ice hotel or we stayed 1 night. First, the village of Santa, we thought back to childhood but it was nothing, big disappointment, all buses that dump Chinese turn to arms, stuck shops one to others selling the same items tourist trap, of the fast food, we have not even find a nice place to drink a foamy hot chocolate as we imagine it as a kid. We still found Santa which was well hidden in the back of a shop, prohibition to take pictures with your camera, and Yes you have to buy their picture for a minimum of €25! In short, the day when I have kids I don't ever take them in this place that makes the purchase of nonsense and forget the magic of Christmas! Now about the ice hotel, still a big disappointment, the hotel is visited throughout the day up to 18 h(les chambres dans lesquels vous allez dormir sont également visité). So we got our room at 6:30, a lady shows us the room with lockers to put your stuff and get the silk sheets and sleeping bag for the night, she then shows you the toilets, a miserable shower then that the hotel account a dozen rooms, as say you we must be tuned in order to access the bathroom! A toilet for women and one for men. The hotel is pretty and necessarily atypical with his sculptures, ice bar and restaurant, but don't expect to stay on the buttocks, the bar is glued to the rooms, the hotel is small, rooms are minimalist but bedding is comfortable, we do not have had cold, duvets keep you nice and warm. We could not eat on the spot, it was full, must be reserved one day in advance but we were not aware, not specified in the hotel when booking. For breakfast, it is good and hearty, but served in another hotel... In short we paid a night € 360 for the service of a hotel formula 1!
