Loved my stay here! No elevators so just beware, the restaurant was fabulous and I loved walking the property grounds and seeing the northern lights! The complimentary breakfast was fabulous and with so many options! The fresh baked bread was delicious. My only negative remarks are the walls are thin. I heard my loud neighbors throughout the night. I also wish the sauna was available later at night and for longer.

Impecable rooms. You’ll love this hotel surrounded by trees and lakes nearby. Good for nature enthusiasts. 20min drive to Santa Claus Village. While we saw buses and stops within one mile or so, having a car would be a must to fully enjoy the area and commute easily. Parking is free. Staff is very nice and friendly. Room size is fair. Absolutely recommended.

We had a great stay! Accommodations and breakfast were very good. Staff was friendly. We were also able to enjoy the sauna. The location is more secluded and we had a rental car but if you’re not planning to do so, be aware that you will need to uber/taxi anywhere. I’d definitely recommend this hotel!!

Our stay was great! Very nice accommodation and breakfast. Friendly staff as well. We were also able to enjoy the sauna. The location is far from downtown but we wanted to be more secluded and we had a rental car. If you are not planning to do the same, just be aware that you will need to taxi/uber to go anywhere.

Clean room, very comfy, and fantastic helpful staff - they made us feel very welcome. As far as facilities I enjoyed the sauna and the lovely firepit by the frozen river. The sledges all around the hotel were a lovely touch - our kids had a ball just playing in the snow!

Large, clean and well furnished room. Restaurant pizza might have been from frozen package. Outside needs better roads and black top parking lots. Too much junk visible outside and at the waterfront.

Ystävällinen palvelu, siistit huoneet, monipuolinen aamiainen, kiva oma uimaranta 😊 Kuuman päivän vuoksi olisi ollut mukavaa saada ikkuna auki yöksi tai ilmastointia merkittävästi kovemmalle. Hyvät sängyt kuitenkin takasivat mukavat yöunet.
