The sauna suite was one of the best rooms we have ever had the pleasure to stay in. Facilities were spotless. Food in the restaurant was delicious and the breakfast buffet had great food choices.

Marvin United States of America

Everything was great, the hotel and staff, location, breakfast, the restaurant! We drove and the hotel had parking right behind it. Only regret was not staying longer! I would definitely come back.

Mailet United States of America

Very beautifully and carefully decorated hotel with an exceptional breakfast. The staff was great, they had really figured out how to make guests feel comfy. We especially loved the room service. And did I mention the breakfast?!

Emmi Finland

Service was exceptional.. even though we had 3 different people working on reception each one of them knew our plans, requirements etc etc. The design and lighting was also great especially for young children.. polar bear in the shower, polar bear outside, painted rain deer outside, Santa and rain deer in the lift, entrance video display and more. Food in restaurant is also brilliant

Brett Australia

The breakfast was as good as last time we visited Arctic light hotel. Cheeses, alcohol free sparkling wine, little bakeries and ”more basic” breakfast food were great at the breakfast.

Heidi Finland

Outstanding location, very clean and very modern decor. Breakfast was delightful with great variety of healthy options. Clean, spacious sauna. My husband and I got to reserve a private experience and it was so relaxing!

Jennfer33 Germany

We liked almost everything: the friendly and helpful staff, cosy and spacious rooms (Magic Twin and Polar+), good location... And not to mention the excellent breakfast with lots of fresh berries, smoothies, fruit - and chocolate cake. The a la carte menu was equally tasty.

Sari Finland

Great hotel with friendly staff, over the top awesome breakfast and cosy and comfortable rooms.

Mikko Finland

Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was gorgeous like one would expect at this price point. Breakfast differed from continental style you typically find in hotels but in a good way. I'm not picky so I tried almost everything on the breakfast and I was not disappointed. There are definitely worse ways to start your day than have fancy cake bites with (non-alcoholic) champagne.

Jimi Finland

Spectacular free breakfast. The restaurant is excellent. Great staff, room, and sauna.
