The hotel is budget and modest. For one night was ok. Breakfast is good, filtered coffee. Room size is big, has a kettle. Bed is normally comfortable. We used sauna and swimming pool.

Easy check in, nice large car park. Room was spacious for two people. Bathroom was newer than photos indicated which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast included is always a bonus and there was adequate options for the stay. Staff are friendly and helpful. Steam sauna works as expected. Additional information for future guests - dinner is NOT included. I say this as I noticed recent reviews mentioning this and wanted to clarify for future travellers.
Boasting a patio with garden views, a garden and barbecue facilities, RIBO Apartment Aurora can be found in Kiruna, close to Kiruna Bus Station and 3.9 km from Kiruna Train Station.

My girlfriend and I had the lovely opportunity to spend a night in the north at this magical place after our trek in Abisko. It's exactly beside the river. The front door with the open glas gives so much light to the room. Evan if it was raining when we were there. Felt like a fantasy tale. Jenny & Marc are fantastic hosts. They had some chickens walking around that made it so much more alive. Definitely recommend it and will book it again when we come back again for another Trek.

They are moving the city so the old city looks like a ghost town. There is almost nothing to do and you don't see people on the street. Lots of accumulated snow and many fenced areas. The new city is not well established. It looks like a construction site and has few restaurant options. I didn't find any souvenir shops open to buy gifts. The center closes at 3pm and there is nothing to do in the city. I recommend taking trips outside the city, such as sledding, snowmobiling, and not wasting time in the city center until the move is completely completed.

A super cute small town in the middle of the Swedish arctic.
A super cute small town in the middle of the Swedish arctic. Make sure to book your tours in advance as there is not too much to do in Kiruna itself. Walking through the city and the surrounding nature is absolutely gorgeous in winter. Take care that the Buses needed to go to different places are very unreliable and don't run on weekends or holidays (especially the ones going to ICE hotel and jukkasväri). Not many restaurant options and many were closed when I was there (Christmas time) or closed early.

I wouldn't spend more than 4 days in Kiruna, and make sure you book lightsofvikings.com for northern lights hunting, they do everything professionally, you wouldn't regret it. We saw aurora borealis. And dog sledding. Ice hotel is a must visit! really like how they do it, and about 10-15 minutes walk you can see reindeer farm! And we don't like the old city, because they move the city to the new city, giving us the impression like in the walking dead movie, no one there, so quiet and no life, especially in winter.

We enjoyed all the activities we had in the beautiful landscapes of Kiruna, from dogsledding, to northern lights hunt, to snowmobile, to visiting a Saami village and reindeers. We highly recommend this place, preferably staying outside of the center that feels closer to nature.

Kiruna is a nice city, quite, clean, the land is beutifull.
Kiruna is a nice city, quite, clean, the land is beutifull. The visitor center in the mine has to be visited and Abysko National Park. In winter snowmobile has to be tried. Their is nice panaroma about the city from a mountine where seat lift or car takes on.

That was a real winter vacation with a lot of snow and cold.
That was a real winter vacation with a lot of snow and cold. I can’t say that I would want to live there permanently but just for a visit it was a great experience. We had a lot of fun with activities like Husky-tour, Northern-light tour, visiting Ice-hotel…
Transfer included is super helpful and can include a detour to downtown Kiruna to get some groceries. Owner is very knowledgeable and provides great advice for area and activities to do. Short walk across the river (in winter when frozen) to visit the Sámi museum and Ice Hotel. Very quiet and peaceful. Igloo is equipped with most necessities and the lounge caters to all other needs (i.e. full kitchen and showers/bathroom). Breakfast included is always nice. Great place to view northern lights.
The best spot to see Auroras. No need to hunt them. On our 1 night stay we witnessed the night sky turned into vast array of Northern Lights! The cabin is clean, there’s a floating sauna, and they offer winter activities.
Lizel, the receptionist was also friendly and accommodating. She made extra mile to give us tips where to take photos and videos for the Auroras. She also taught us how to use the Aurora app.
We highly recommend this place in Kiruna.
if you’re not from Scandinavia and are on a budget, it’s always necessary to compromise. Given that necessity, this hotel is a very good option the rooms, albeit basic, have everything you need for a short stay. The shirt bathrooms are clean (toilet in your own room) and there’s even a sauna. The breakfast is one of the major perks. Checking in late at night is no problem at all, if everything is OK with your room.
SPiS Hotel & Hostel had one of our favorite breakfast spreads of all the hotels we stayed in Sweden, some of which were at much fancier hotels. There was smoked salmon, yogurt, muesli, fruit, eggs, cheese, delicious bread, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickles, oatmeal and much more. The rooms were pretty basic, but comfortable and very clean. It was WAY below freezing and our rooms were warm.
Good option within a reasonable budget.
Could see the Northern lights with bare eyes without going to Abisko or taking a costly trip.
All the staff members are really helpful.
The husky sledge was also good value for money!!
The experience of meeting a lot of people from different countries in the common kitchen was great. Gave a hostel-like vibe.
Really nice, clean, new hotel in a very interesting, historical but still modern, all the time changing mine city of Kiruna. Good breakfast. Inventive family room with two folding wall beds. Short drive to Abisko, Riksgränsen and even Narvik if you want to. A stunning view to the city, mine and sunset from the glass-wall sauna.
Camp Ripan has a good and central location in Kiruna close to the old city center. The cabins have a basic interior with a tiny kitchen. The bathroom is also quite small. The rooms were very clean and tidy and perfectly fine for a two nights stay with two children.
You can tell it is a new hotel. Nothing's worn, everything still sparkling, facilities are great, staff very friendly, and the location in Kiruna's new city center is perfect. Breakfast was great, and so was WiFi. Gym and cocktail lounge included.
The owners were WONDERFUL! They were most helpful and kind! They offered assistance and tips above and beyond what I expected or needed for my stay at their hotel. They also have a very informative and interesting museum at the hotel.
Very good hotel, breakfast was very good, they offer also a very good lunch for great price. They have great are to read / relax / work, so you could even work here during the day and go chasing northern lights at night :)
We went to this hotel for the location outside of Kiruna, and the location is perfect for doing short hikes outside and getting away from most of the light polution. The beds were comfortable and the lounge area very cosy.
There is small but inteteresting Sami museum in the hotel - and it's free for guests (7-14). Breakfast was included, you can also use the kitchen. Hotel is located close to the centre of Kiruna (less than 10 minutes walk)
Very nice cabin with the best view for the Northern lights. The host was very responsive and very friendly. If i would come back to Kiruna, I will stay here again for sure. The best and unic cabin we ever stayed in.
I’m not sure why this place isn’t rated higher. It’s a nice hotel with spacious rooms and even has heated bathroom floors. There is also a really great restaurant on site.
The room was clean,warm,we had everything to make a tea or a coffee. We stayed one night,the hotel is in the center of Kiruna,very well situated. Breakfast was great.
Our first 3 nights in Kiruna were at Northern Light Camp. The large windows in the facility were great! It was cozy and clean. Northern lights were great!
