    The place could do with a renovation. It might justify the price then. All in all, a good stay.

    Everything was as advertised. It is a great hotel. It provides what it promises. The a la carte restau is great! Extra points for that. The location so close to the ski resort is a good asset. Walking distance.

    The rooms are a bit dated and could use some refurbishing. The buffet hall is also old fashioned, but if you choose a la carte dining, the back room is elegantly decorated.

    The staff are helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a great area, in walking distance to a shopping center and restaurants. The room was clean and spacious (we had a 1-bedroom apartment).

    The booking shows 4 stars, but the room is less than 3. The pictures of the hotel do not reflect the reality. The hotel facade and architecture is beautiful, but inside it is way too shabby. Our suite was less than a three-star room: very shabby, old furniture, no sockets, where needed, not even at the bedhead, the beds were not comfortable, sink cracked, shower leaking the way it flooded the entire bathroom and toilet. The renovation is needed for the entire facility, now it is 80’-90’. The sauna is separate for men and women, closes 8pm and is on the first floor, not convenient. However there are rooms with sauna inside. Crowds of tourist groups, not a feeling of serenity or rest in Lapland. Very expensive. The town is small, so any location is good here. Definitely do not recommend, better have a stay in log houses, that are very nice here!

    A very good breakfast, but crowds of people in the buffet. Balcony and the view is beautiful.

    The room definitely needs to be refurbished. The style is 80s or 90s and bathroom is too old for such an hotel! Absolutely the price is too high but there are not so many turistic structures and you can’t have any choice.

    Very good breakfast and cleaning service. We had a suite for a family of 4. The view was nice (trees behind the hotel). Next to hiking trails. Good playroom for children.

    Surprisingly the staff was a bit sour. Also, the facilities were worn out but clean and in working condition.

    Location was good and the breakfast was very good. The room with sauna was spacious and a refregirator in the room was a good bonus.

    Only two charging spaces available for electric or hybrid cars. Could be a problem on peak season. Also the parking space in total sort of feels abundant but fills quickly when there is more people present. Could also be a problem on peak season.

    Located amidst the Saariselkä village. All restaurants, shops and rental agencies are nearby - within walking distance. Easy to start your day trips straight from the hotel - whether by walking or e.g. by bikes. Local restaurant offer a great and varying breakfast with everything from porridge to fruits, breads, bacon, sausages, etc. The restaurant also offers delicious a la carte dinners with a selection of local meats (reindeer, elk) and fish (salmon, trout, rainbow trout). Reindeers also patrol the nearby yards and streets so prepare to meet new friends!

    We booked a table for dinner for our first night but there was no record of this at the hotel when we arrived. Recommend going Half board which should get around this issue.

    The facilities are not brand new anymore.

    The hotel has an excellent location, cross-country ski trails are 5-minutes walking distance and ski rental is in the same building. The breakfast was great. Also the hotel restaurant and bar were nice and we ended up having all our meals in the restaurant. We were very happy paying a bit more for a room with sauna.
