Such a unique experience! Also went reindeer sledding, dog sledding, sami village visit & snowmobiling when there. Watching this has made me want to go back & do it all over again, love it!!

    The probable reason why there was a rocket there is that outside Kiruna lies Esrange, the Swedish space center. From there, rockets are launched for various research.

    I was a bit sceptical about the whole Ice Hotel thing. A bit soulless and bucket listy, but it seems that I couldn't have been more wrong. Fantastic video again Steve but I'll keep my appreciation of that art installation to TH-cam, way too cold for me lol.

    I read a bunch of reviews of this hotel after the previous video from this trip, and there were quite a lot of bad reviews, about the lack of luxury compared to the prices. Now I'm fairly sure the people complaining didn't do their research, somehow probably expected fully furnished rooms with carpets etc in an ICE hotel. This was beautiful to see

    • @steve-marsh
      @steve-marsh  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, it is totally about having a one-off experience, so I think it's worth the price (I just couldn't afford it) and the staff were all absolutely lovely

    • @geniusgeezer1234
      @geniusgeezer1234 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@steve-marshTo be fair, some of the prices I saw online on their own site were pretty ridiculous, even if you factor in the cost of building and maintaining all those rooms.
      But I suppose it's like a bucket list thing for some people, something you'll only experience once in lifetime. I also saw some people complain about the staff, but that's obviously very subjective and I know not everyone is respectful towards service workers (not just hotels and bars, but in general). So I could imagine staff sturdily sticking to the rules once a guest starts being disrespectful

      @@geniusgeezer1234The artists and designers from all around the world aren't cheap, and there are new designs and artwork each year. A lot of work is done in summer while there aren't as many tourists, lots of planning, and the company needs its profit to continue. And also the hotel must feel "special" and "exclusive", so there's that too. The Ice hotel has a rating of 4,5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor (2364 reviews in total), 1521 five star reviews and 51 one star, so that's not bad at all compared to many other places.
