We were here in December so it was pretty cold outside. The big problem we had was with check in/out, which is only possible during pub opening hours. Unfortunately for us we hadn't looked into this and found ourselves out on the streets on a Sunday afternoon with 2 cases and nowhere to go (pretty much everything was shut). This... More

It wasn't made very clear at point of booking that the check-in time follows strictly the pub's opening time, which is 4 pm on most days. There is no place to deposit your luggage if you arrive before the stipulated 4 pm. In this day and age, it should be easy for hotel to use a security code to allow... More

Bishops was an unexpected find. Unexpected because Kiruna is Sweden's northern most city and we expected to pay high prices for very little service or quality. The hotel has very good quality rooms, clean, modern bathrooms and very warm. Heated floor in the bathroom, heating controls in each room and windows that open for fresh air. It was around minus...

An unsual layout with the rooms access slightly away from the bar. It felt a little like serviced apartments since there was no "reception" when the bar closed. Check in and out very easy nevertheless. The rooms modern low cost style (eg soap in dispenser) clean and quite big especially the twin bedded room which seemed well set up for... More

We stayed here for one night as we were leaving from Kiruna airport. The town is quite large, but not too busy, and they have a mainly mining industry. You can take a tour of the mines during the summer months. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants. Shops closed quite early on a Saturday, and the town was dead... More

Really nice, quite quirky hotel that I'd recommend to others. To start it's not that easy to find as the front of house really is a pub! The reception is simply at the end of the Bar! Not really an issue though as we got checked in with no issues at all. The bar is a pastiche of a traditional... More

Stayed for 3 nights and room was warm, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good and staff very friendly Reception open at 3pm which was fine as we'd arrived on the overnight train from Stockholm - would definitely recommend. Really liked the English pub atmosphere and was the best place to spend an evening, Good pub style food.

We recently came back from a short break in Lapland, and were very happy with our stay at the Bishops Inn. As other reviewers have said, this is a British-style pub with rooms above. You check in via the pub, but can then use a separate entrance to get in and out of the Hotel proper. Everything is new and... More

We stayed here for 4 nights from 7th February 2013. The room was clean, comfortable and most importantly warm. Having seen previous reviews we emailed the hotel in advance to let them know we were coming in on the late flight and wouldn't get there until close to closing time and gave them our phone number in case our flight...
