The view from our bed with the bid glass window offers an amazing view in the morning. The bed and pillow is really comfortable. The in room sauna is really good so you can just do it in your own bathroom and bathroom is really spacious. The location is also strategic with gas station, restaurant, coffee shop, supermarket al nearby
The hot water shower wasnt too hot for us. The room temperature is remotely controlled and we prefer to warmer in the night, and we spend long time looking for the controller for the aircon/ heater but cannot find it, we asked help from receptionist but apparently after 10/11pm receptionist went home and only kitchen staff on standby which she is not familiar and unable to help. We only able to contact the reception in the morning to remote control our room temp to 24 degress.This hotel reception is only until 9pm as per stated when i book the hotel, but on the day we check in at 8pm they have sms saying i am arriving outside reception operating hours and they leave the key on the key box on the wall. Just beware that they do not have 24 hours check in

We stayed at this place for 2 nights. I would rate this property with higher numbers if I could... ;-) It's an unbelievable accommodation. Everything was perfect - the rooms were very big, an appartment was very clean, kitchen was fully equipped, And the breakfast was just unbelievable. Such a big variety of food incl Sami food! Staff is so nice! Parking is for free. The location is just a few minutes walk from Tsahkal Falls

The chalets are spacious, clean and we had great views. Staff is very friendly. We enjoyed the good at the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner.
To get to the bathroom and sauna in the chalet you have to go through the entry hall .

Excellent breakfast, beautifully decorated room and restaurant, friendly staff and great location. We really liked this place.
Hopefully there (in Kilpisjärvi) will be soon more eöectric vehicle chargers - the closest where in the supermarket - but there was a que. 😅 It would be practical if there would be some chargers (200 kw) at the hotel as well.

New, small but beautiful, comfortable room with unique decoration, lights, natural scent of wood, full glass wall facing the wilderness and at an angle you could see a peak of Saana. Nice breakfast table.
Rooms got quite warm on a moderately sunny day and the air conditioning was working only briefly at the night. No individual temperature controls in the room, like so often in Finnish hotel rooms.

The location was perfect, very serene. Short walk from the bus drop off. The rooms very clean and the large windows was ideal for watching the Northern lights. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Food was delicious.

Lovely new cabin at kilpisjarvi. Staff was also very helpful and lovely. The apartment was big and can sleep 6 at least.
Toilet is separate from the shower area. Shower area is situated just beside the entrance of the cabin. A little awkward , cold and inconvenient.

An absolutely beautiful place to stay with massive windows to overlook over the snowy wilderness. The rooms were modern and very comfortable. Restaurant facilities at the hotel were great and again featured massive windows to look out from.
Leaving.

The size of the cabin is very nice, comfy couch, comfy beds, Great location. Nice large bathroom.
The key to the room is attached to a chunk of wood and is an actual key.... Its a nice nostalgic thing but nobody wants to carry a key attached to a piece of wood.

Location!
The property is very nice even it was a little bit pity or bad luck that the shop didn’t sell firewoods and the woods were not included to the price.
