We picked this place specifically for the location and it was perfect for that. Great jump off point for hiking trails, Aurora Sky Station and other winter activities in the area. The parking lot was fairly close to the reception building but we still had to wheel our suitcase in the snow. We had a room with the attached bathroom and it was as expected. Good closet storage/hooks and dark shades! The breakfast was sufficient (not amazing). The lobby area and shared spaces were pretty packed throughout the day. I wish the fireplace and some other shared lobby areas were open/available in the evening.

Hard to think of anything really, maybe the toillette paper could be a bit softer.

Great place, I've enjoyed every minute. The beds are comfortable, there's enough space to store and hang stuff, kitchen & bathroom are very clean. The sauna is open most of the time, it could be a bit hotter in there though. There's also a room to dry things. Very effective. Haven't tried the restaurant, brought my own bed sheets.

Very functional rooms, kind staff, good foods

No reflection of the accomodation or hosts but we happened to be staying with some very inconsiderate people making a lot of noise late into the night - for future guests please remember to be mindful of banging around!

Stayed in the hostel, quadruple room with my husband and 7yr old. The room was clean, basic but had what we needed. The shower / toilets were also more than suitable and clean. Hired bed linen / towels on arrival which again were more than sufficient. Despite some comments left on other sites the staff do clean through once a day, there are also ample supplies for guests to clean after themselves. The kitchen was well equipped to make basic meals and again was clean for the 2 days we were there. Location is excellent for the train station and the start of a multitude of hikes. The blue train is good for smaller children as it's mainly flat. Nearest proper supermarket is in Abisko but is walkable within 20 mins. It's significantly cheaper than eating at the hotel but that's to be expected. The shop has plenty of equipment to hire, few items of dry / frozen foods and a selection of drinks. Breakfast had plenty of options, the lunch bags (again slightly more expensive) are good enough if you don't want to go to the supermarket. The bistro has a small menu but the food was of very good quality and portion sizes were more than adequate. All of the details regarding linens, towels and cleaning is well advertised on their booking sites for guest information.

Nothing.

Clean and warm accommodation. Very comfortable. Beautiful setting overlooking the mountains and frozen lake. We were in one of the separate cottages which was perfect size for our group of 4, but could comfortably fit 6. Breakfast was very nice. Had everything you need including a lovely restaurant. STF Abisko is a perfect base for exploring the winter activities.

Lack of dish-sponges in the shared kitchen of the hostel. The provided brushes unfortunately do not work well enough for hasty visitos.

Amazing staff!!! Unique location to do winter sports, hiking or just hunt the northern lights directly stepping out of your door. I could see some every evening in the end of march. I got stuck there and stayed three days longer because my train got cancelled but all the people were so nice. Very social kitchen in the hostel, Sauna included. Perfect location to start hikes, go skiing or go up the mountain with the chair lift. STF itself also offers a lot of trips and you can rent equipment there. There is a Bistro where you can get burgers and pizza for ~200 SEK and a Restaurant with a lunch buffet for ~160 SEK or higher priced a la carte dinner. There is also a store with outdoor gear and many frozen dishes and basic food. The next supermarket is 2km away in Abisko Östra. All the facilities in the Hostel were so nice just note that you have to pay extra to rent linen or towels.

Don’t expect a typical hostel experience, in the sense of communal bonding, planed activities and such.

This is the best place to stay in Abisko. Hostel is comfortable, beds are nice, kitchen is very well equipped and there’s plenty of space in the common area to sit down and eat or work. Best place to go out hiking one of the many trails. Northern lights visible from the window.

Spacious, spotless cabin in a pristine, beautiful natural area, with lots of opportunities for recreational activities such as cross-country skiing and hiking.

I liked everything.

There were several beautiful walks both short and long walks. The lunch, breakfast and dinner were delicious. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely stay again!

I think it is a bit cumbersome to be in charge of the cleaning and linen, that it is not included. But, it's not the end of the world.

Fantastic spot to stay as all the main trails leave from here, and best chance to view the Northern Lights from here of course! The sauna was great and well maintained. Kitchen facilities are always busy but there is enough room for everyone. I look forward to staying again.

The breakfast was great, they provided lots of options of foods.

This was my first experience where the linens aren't included and you have to rent them. Other than that, it was great!

Very good spot to get away from the city. We even got to see the northern lights from the hostel. I highly recommend.

The cost of accommodation does not match the services provided. There is an extra charge for renting bed linen and towels, which is quite surprising given the already high prices, even for a shared room.

The hotel staff was very polite, from the housekeeping managers to the team in the restaurant and bistro. The receptionists explained everything clearly during check-in, gave a brochure with the hotel map, and provided additional information that could be useful to every guest. The hotel's location is great. The room was clean, but there was a draft from the window, making it kinda cool inside.

The houses were really noisy. A lot of creaks and noises which literally prevented us from sleeping on the second night. The strong wind would make the house creak a lot especially in the main bedroom, with loud and sudden noises

Beautiful location and modern facilities

Location right in middle of national park - watched Aurora from front of hotel on first night! Cozy spaces to sit and look at the view and talk to other guests. Open fire overlooking a frozen lake - heaven. Food is unbelievably good - buffet style breakfast and 3 course dinners - both delicious. Staff very kind - no lift at the property but was offered help by reception and cleaning staff to carry my suitcase up the stairs. In hotel shop handy for odds and ends - including the ice spikes I didn’t expect to need as weather was warmer than expected and ice had appeared earlier than expected. Hotel had stocked up with spikes in all sizes, anticipating that most guests would need them. Would live there if I could!

The location near to the train station ,& east access to walks you could do yourself. The room was spotlessly clean & very comfortable. Cosy places to sit & relax. Breakfast selection was great - lots of choice & quickly refilled when items ran out.

Too much congested, less privacy but excellent place to spend few days.Cleaning is demanded by the property which is not always possible during vacation.

This is really a touristic center where people all over the world are staying to explore the Abisko Natural Park and waiting to see the Northern Lights. The hall and all the other common rooms are really nice and there is also a nice one with the fireplace 🔥 The rooms are also good with enough space
