Legendary owners!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 Apr 2020
I came through the lodge as a Te Araroa (a 3000km trail across NZ) walker meeting up with my parents for a few days. The first kind thing the owners did was allow me to set up my tent beside my parent's camper van for free which was amazing alone. The second thing they did was way above and beyond. One of my hiking poles had broken on the trail and had become useless. The owners, with no thought of reward, offered to try their best to fix it! The next day I picked it up and they had spent hours trying to repair my gear, and it worked! The pole held up in the backcountry for a few more days which was exactly what I needed. I can't recommend this lodge enough, they will take care of you!

    I stayed this accommodation for two nights - booked via Agoda with my Amex card and it says total charge includes taxes and fees. I understand some hotels charge credit card fee however I was always informed before this is charged. This was quite annoying when I noticed they charged me extra - presumably credit card fee? - it is still being investigated.

    Room was very very dated. There was no toiletries in the bathroom. Heater is very loud when turned on and I wasn't sure if the smoke smell comes from the outside or from the heater. I had to turn it off even though it was freezing.

    WIFI: you will be given 200mb voucher when you check in. You will have to pay for your internet after that.

    Overall I did NOT enjoy this accommodation at all.
    I would not recommend this accommodation.

    This place is run by the most friendliest people ever! The were very accommodating and the continental brekkie was top notch (pikelets, crossaints, cereal, English muffins). They also have a great chill out area and a spa! The rooms were nice and clean, with comfy beds. Only minor issue was that the heater was quite loud. Our room was fairly warm anyway so didnt need it on.

    This was my third stay at Abisko Lodge and as always it was an absolute pleasure. Steph is so incredibly hospitable and willing to do what she can to make your stay the best it can be. The rooms are clean and simple, perfect for the budget conscious traveler. It is super easy to get up the mountain with the bus picking you up right at the front door. The communal area is perfect on those cold winter evenings and the bar makes for an easy night cap.

    Abisko was fantastic! The communal lounge was warm and inviting. The fire was roaring and being able to buy a beer at the bar was perfect. Everything was clean and tidy and Steph was the hostess with the mostest!! We will deffs be back next ski season and will be recommending Abisko to all!

    Stayed here in the lodge accommodation/ motel room for 7 nights as a couple. We had originally wanted a one bedroom apartment but they had booked out by the time we could confirm dates. The main draw to this accommodation was the secluded hot tub/ out door spa which can be booked privately. This was wonderful and we used it a fair number of times.
    As other reviews state, Steph is wonderfully warm, welcoming and accommodating. Other pluses are the roaring fire in the shared living space and Gypsy the cat.
    We didn’t love our stay here though. The beds are very firm. Steph did graciously let me lay on about half a dozen other beds in other rooms. One seemed slightly softer, or just not as hard and we moved to that room after 2 nights in the first room. Some rooms have overhead bar heating but the two rooms we stayed in had noisy blow heaters. The walls were rather thin, so much so that I could hear the next room shower running. The water pressure is amazing and water very hot. I was able to use the adjoining camp kitchen, which is fully enclosed.
    So, there are pros and cons.
