Hotell Samegård and Sami Museum - Kiruna

Alessandra Bachmann

Positiv: The room was clean, quiet and had everything what you need. The Location was perfect to reach the airportbus.

Negativ: at the end of my stay, they charged me a different (higher) price! As I noticed afterwards, that I had payed too much, I got back to them via E-Mail (obviously I wasn't in the country anymore) and showed them all the old emails of the booking process and what price we discussed back then.
Long story short, until this day I didn't got the money back. They refuse to answer my Emails.

I wouldn't book it again in the fututure because of this incident!

Otroligt fint litet Samiskt Museum i källarvåningen, vi tog oss tid att läsa litteraturen i läshörnan och blev väldigt berörda av samernas historia och det de utsatts för. Eftersom hemsidan inte är aktiv var vi osäkra på om museet fortfarande fanns kvar, men det gör det!
Inträdet är 60 kronor och ett besök rekommenderas varmt ?

I stayed here one night as I didn't have the car yet and needed a place inside Kiruna. The rooms are very, very clean. Same with the bathroom. I met the nice lady who works in the hotel on Saturday morning, she came to clean the room. She offered me breakfast even though there is no breakfast on weekends and gave me a ride to the car rental company. I had an amazing stay. ||I really do hope that she found the key eventually!

Home of a Sami Musuem, generally lower prices than other hotels in Kiruna, friendly staff took care of our bag while we went away for a 8 day hike (we stayed the night before and after the hike at the hotel), simple breakfast on weekdays. Just note that location is a slight walk to old town center but it is near to the very excellent Stejk Street Food and airport bus stop. Also note that there is no manned staff after 3pm and on weekends but check in is arranged in advance. If you don't see the staff, you need to pay cash or make advance payment through transfer. Just a small inconvenience on this part. Be sure to visit the Sami Museum.

This accommodation is in the style of a hostel more than hotel- if you adjust your expectations then it's fine. The rooms are OK and have an ensuite bathroom which is good. We stayed on a weekend, and there was no breakfast. A shared kitchen area was available for use by guests, but was small and if people don't clean up after themselves, (which they hadn't) it was not too good. Tea and coffee is available but no milk. The nearest convenience store/supermarket was a 15 min walk (freezing temp and snow), but there are lots of taxis if you prefer. They also only accept cash for the rooms (as you arrive). There is an historical display of Sami life attached to the hotel, which has been carefully done and quite interesting. All in all, OK for one night, clean and comfortable hostel style.

It does fell like a hostel, but is just fine if you don't need luxury. Clean and large room with all the basics, Wifi experiencing problems at times, but still fast and usable. Very easy checkin outside of front desk's opening hours and great contact with the hotel. Good breakfast, sadly only until 9. The museum is an added value.

We had 5 nights in total at Hotel Samegarden. This is not a 5 star hotel but the rooms are clean, warm and spacious. The hotel is also only 5 mins walk from town and about 12 mins walk from the railway station. The host, Lisa was fabulous, warm, welcoming and always available to answer anything we needed. Breakfast was very good, a selection of boiled eggs, cold meats and cheese and the usual cereals, breads, etc. Breakfast is only available week days but is good value for money. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here after dog sledging for 4 days. The rooms are fairly well heated and it has a hostel feel to it but was very clean and tidy. The bedroom is a good size for 2 people and the shower/toilet room is ok. It is about a 10-15 minute walk into the centre of town. The breakfast is good although only boiled eggs provided cooked with the rest fresh salad or cereal. Its about 20 minute walk to the bus terminal, possibly longer. You can check in really early (from 7.00) if you want. Breakfast is provided in a small kitchen room and there is a stove etc. if you want to cook your own food you can and tea/coffee is always available.
