Strategically located up in the mountains with lovely views. Relatively close to Abisko's national park and up-the-mountains resort in Bjorkliden. Booked a standard room that's just enough space to move around and to spend the night. No cooking equipment in the room so most of the time the guests will sit around at the common lobby area or go out for night activities. There's also a dinner option starting from 300-400 SEK per pax. Stayed for one night with hopes of seeing aurora but the night became snowy. I guess it looked better with snow. The morning breakfast was simple but delicious. Would definitely recommend staying for a couple of nights for nearby hiking and trekking. There's also a petrol station and grocery store 1 minute drive away to stay fueled up and stocked up.
Convenient location close to railway station, clean, proper breakfast, friendly staff. Otherwise rather simple, shared WC/shower, poor noise insulation.
But expensive! Apparently there is a lack of competition of hotels in Gallivare and they use this situation to their advantage fully! In any other place in Sweden a place like this couldn't charge more than 2/3 of the price this place charges! For shared facilities this is definitely overpriced. But if you have to stay in Gallivare there is little to no alternative...
Things were great, it was just that we needed a late checkin but it was impossible to connect with the hotel as they did not pick up their phone. Trip agents were helping but they could not as well. At the end, we connected with them via WhatsApp. Would not recommend if you need to contact the hotel though since it was quite frustrating.
