Plentiful and delicious breakfast! Delightfully surprised at the array of off-season fresh fruit like melons, watermelon, and plums. Enjoyed the variety of cold and hot drinks and juices, as well as the hot foods. I didn’t eat the waffles. We had an apartment which was a manageable and pretty walk to the main hotel, even for my mobility challenged mother. We had two 2 bedrooms and one 1 bedroom booked. Their configurations were all different, and the management allowed us to check in early and had booked rooms close together, which was great. My parents really enjoyed their 1 bedroom and felt it was cozy. The sauna was lovely and I especially enjoyed the ability to go out to the snowy balcony to cool ourselves down. We stayed only 2 nights so didnt’ need it, but there was plentiful storage — Altho not a ton of space to open up the suitcases themselves. There are a few shops plus a bar and restaurant which were appreciated. I wish they had a bigger lobby to just hang out, esp if you couldn’t check in early — but not a deal breaker. The reception person was very kind. Walking distance to Kuukeli (?) shop and many restaurants. We had a car and the parking was easy and convenient.

For breakfast: If I had to grumble, sometimes there was a line for the waffles, which made it difficult to get to the coffee! I understand this is a big hotel that caters to tour groups, so it had that kind of “big group” vibe to it. This is not a critique but an observation. Our rooms were nice enough, but the furniture is definitely utilitarian and “family” oriented (dings and such). This goes for the dishes in the room — I think there was only 1 bowl (!) but some big mugs that worked for things like soup and cereal. In one bedroom, the bed was squished in a way that we literally couldn’t close the door!!!

Great hotel for cross country skiing lovers. Very close to the skiing tracks and the city center. Amazing breakfast but also good diner (buffet available). Shop to rent ski etc. in the same building. There is also communal sauna and individual and a gym. Bus going to the airport stops/leaves in front of the hotel. We went beginning of April so not too busy.

Nothing shocked me. I agree with some other comments that it can looks a bit old but not on a bad way I would say, it gives a style I liked.

The hotel is nice, in a perfect spot and has a beautiful view. The room has a nice little terrace to admire the snow all around. The food at the restaurant was great and so was the breakfast. The staff was super kind. We had a pleasant stay here!

I think the room looked a bit old, considering the price for one night. Some things might need a bit of a renovation, expecially the shower and the wash basin.

The hotel is in a central location and offered a decent buffet breakfast. The apartments were comfortable and included a private sauna.

Housekeeping was listed as included on our booking but when we arrived we were advised it is only included for stays of 8 nights or more.

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

I loved everything about this trip. Your staff was wonderful and the front desk ladies were more than helpful! Breakfast was wonderful, as well as getting on the bus daily was so easy. I would suggest this hotel to anyone.

The staff are helpful, good location, close to nature trails, my room was specious and had a balcony. Breakfast was OK.

The hotel and rooms are dated. The orange carpets in the hallways look totally worn out. The hotel could be really nice after some refurbishing.

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!

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.

Amenities could need some updating. The water in from the shower would spread outside the shower area before running back to the drain.

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.

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.
