"Saunas where great, but it is only open in the evening until 9pm. "

"The hotel is very well designed (We saw perfect northern light on the 2nd night). Really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the facilities, friendly and efficient staff, excellently organised activities. "

"Excellent apartment, very well equipped even down to plenty of washing powder, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, kitchen roll and bin bags. Superb location central to Saariselkä centre and walking distance to ski resort. Lovely welcoming reception area with well stocked and reasonably priced shop. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Check in closes at 10.00.p.m. at a major tourist area. The plane with tourists from the capital, Helsinki, does not arrive at the closest airfield until 10.30.p.m. They need to consider this. The afterhours lockbox is situated outside. It was minus 25 Celsius and dark when we arrived. The lockboxes inside need two fingers for the metal buttons on either side. I still have peeling finger skin two weeks later from having to touch them. The lockbox should be situated in an inside lobby - very poor. There are multiple buildings in this complex and not well lit, so you have to find your in the dark and the cold and pulling your suitcase through snow."

"We loved this property. We stayed for two nights as part of a 10 day trip through Finland. The hotel is perfectly situated for walking 100 metres to the office of Ivalo Safari, who have amazing experiences. We did an aurora borealis trip on a snow mobile and husky dog sled ride. I will be reviewing these separately. The hotel breakfast was really good, with lots of choices and a nice homely restaurant setting. The evening meals were good too. Some reviews i read prior to our trip said that the newly refurb rooms were better, as they were away from the road. Honestly, we stayed in a ground floor room in the older part and the room was very good. Nicely appointed, very clean and no noise at all from the road. Easy access to supermarket and taxi rank too. The best thing in the hotel was the sauna. It has sessions each day for general hotel guest access, but can be booked for an hour privately free of charge. The staff were helpful and friendly...my only suggested improvement would be a few more lounge chairs in reception and a second chair in the room to sit on. These did not impact is at all...just being picky! Thank you for a lovely stay. "

"Excellent stay, saw the northern lights from bed , was amazing, the staff so kind. It was totally worth it "

"Great budget accommodation for family trip. Everything was fairly modern, crisp and clean and well equipped overall. Loved the sauna and hot cupboard for turning around wet snow gear. Beds could have been bigger / more comfortable. "
