Pse Njerëzit E Duan

  • Once-in-a-lifetime bucket list experience
  • Stunning, ephemeral art carved from snow and ice
  • Dead silent sleeping environment due to thick snow walls

Shikim i shpejtë: It’s less of a hotel and more of an endurance challenge with a really nice backup plan.

Rishikuar nga @the_affordableluxury_diary: I spent a night here and it was unlike anything else. Drinking from an ice glass at the bar and then curling up in a thermal bag surrounded by snow art was an unforgettable adventure. It's cold, yes, but the experience is pure magic.

Mysafiri Që Qëndroi Këtu Tha

The hype

Magical and beautiful, but physically demanding and expensive for what is essentially fancy winter camping.

Reality check

Most guests admit they only slept a few hours in the ice room before retreating to their warm backup room.

  • You are an adventure seeker
  • You love winter camping but want a safety net
  • You want unique wedding or engagement photos

Pastrëti & Mirëmbajtje

8.5
  • Housekeeping: The ice rooms are rebuilt annually, so they are pristine. Backup rooms at Hotel Valcartier are generally clean but can be worn.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Heated outdoor trailers are functional but basic; main hygiene happens in your private warm room.
  • Maintenance: Ice structures are impeccably maintained; warm hotel can have minor wear and tear.
  • Linens & towels: Sleeping bags are professionally cleaned; linens in warm room are standard hotel quality.
  • Odors & scents: Ice rooms smell like nothing (crisp, cold air); warm rooms have standard hotel scent.

FAQ & Këshilla të fshehura

Çdo gjë që do të dëshironit të dini para se të rezervoni

Is there a bathroom in the room?

No. You have to use heated portable toilets outside or go back to your warm room at the main hotel.

Unlikely. The provided sleeping bags are rated for -30°C, and the room stays around -5°C.

Can I charge my phone?

No outlets in the ice room. Charge everything in your warm backup room and keep your phone against your body to prevent the battery from dying.

What if I can't sleep?

Is it suitable for young children?

Technically yes, but many parents report ending up in the warm room by midnight because kids get cold or scared.

No, the hotel provides high-quality arctic sleeping bags and liners.
