The hotel is right next to the national park so great for hiking. The hotel is also in the centre of Saariselkä which is compact and pedestrian friendly so this makes it easy if you’re using buses to get in and out of town and don’t have a vehicle. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant are good. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly. Be aware that activities book out and so if you want to do more than hiking you’ll need to plan and book ahead.

I stayed here for four nights in January and overall it’s a nice hotel. The food (breakfast was free) and dinner were pleasant. If you order from the buffet the food is of course of Finnish delicacy but the à la carte menu is good with lots of options and good prices for food and alcoholic drinks. The rooms themselves are pleasant slightly on the smaller side, but the bathroom is lovely with a great shower. The view from the bedrooms is also lovely, but there’s a couple of things that I could do with improving across the bedrooms. First thing is the glass windows should be one way (so you can see out but you cannot see in). The view outside is so stunning you want to be able to have your curtains open all the time but you can’t because people can see directly in and windows face each other. Secondly, it would be nice to have some more amenities in the room. There was only green tea, in my room. I feel there should be one of every tea(I had to go back into the main dining hall in order to get additional teabags, but these are not supplied as standard during housekeeping). It would also be nice to have small plates / small juices? In the bathroom, something a small as shower caps small set of tweezers et cetera would make for a better experience. One thing I couldn’t stand is the two single beds - I don’t know if there was an option to have one king/queen bed but this option wasn’t provided to me. The separate bed

Oikein siisti uusi hotelli. Huoneet erillisissä rakennuksissa. Täältä löytyy ilmastointi kuumille kesäpäiville! Saatiin huone jopa +17 asteeseen ennen nukkumaanmenoa. Parhaat unet koko kesänä. Aamiainen hyvä ja kattava. Parhaita asioita retkeilykohteessa oli tarjous aamiaisella: 15 eurolla saa koota buffetpöydästä eväspaketin päivän retkille. Just tällaisia tarjouksia hotelleihin enemmänkin! Siitä sai parhaat leivät täytettyä pitkälle patikalle. Ravintolatila on ihan upea ja vietettiin pitkä tovi ihaillessa sisustusta ja kelo-oksista tehtyjä lamppuja. Olispa ollut aikaa jäädä illalliselle. Hyvä palvelu ja Saariselällä oikein oivallinen sijainti!

Loistava aamiainen. Vaikka huoneemme sijaitsi vanhemmassa rakennuksessa, se oli remontoitu todella hyvin, modernisti ja viihtyisäksi. Kaikki toimi oikein sujuvasti ja ainakin näin off-seasonilla hotellin ravintola oli mielestämme alueen paras.

Erittäin miellyttävä yöpyminen. Siisti hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla. Aamupala oli kattava ja herkullinen. Sisustus miellytti silmää. Hotellin sängyt olivat erinomaiset. Vaellusreittejä lähti ihan vierestä ja kauppa oli lähellä.

Huone siisti, hiljainen ja vuoteessa oli ongelmaselkäisen hyvä nukkua. Monipuolinen aamiainen ja ruoka ravintolassa erinomaista. Piha-alue oli uutuuttaan sorainen, joten matkalaukun kanssa kulkeminen vähän poukkoilevaa.

Wir haben drei Nächte in diesem Hotel verbracht. Die Zimmer waren sauber und insgesamt war alles in Ordnung, allerdings hat uns das Hotel nicht zu 100% überzeugt. Frühstück und Abendbuffet waren okay, aber nichts Besonderes. Das Personal war zwar freundlich, wirkte jedoch oft unaufmerksam und etwas langsam. Die Lage ist gut: In der Nähe gibt es Restaurants, einen Pub, einen Supermarkt und man ist schnell an Wanderwegen. Die Sauna haben wir wegen der umständlichen Regelung mit begrenzten Zeiten und da sie außerhalb beim Pub war nicht genutzt. Insgesamt ein solides Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, aber wir haben in Lappland auch deutlich bessere Hotels erlebt.

Hotel nuovo, molto bello, posizione comoda, pulito, cibo ottimo! Unica considerazione, a cui però non abbiamo prestato particolare attenzione, la pulizia quotidiana della camera, che non mai stata fatta. Abbiamo fatto anche un escursione direttamente con l’hotel ed è organizzata bene.. conclusione: consigliato!
