Authentic Ryokans In Ivalo

"Loved our stay at Wilderness Hotel Inari. The food, room, atmosphere, service, and guides were perfect, and made for an amazing few days. "

"Such a great stay!"

"Great breakfast, comfortable room."

"Check in was quick & easy, we were placed in room 229. Make sure to state any accessibility issues, as the hotel doesn't have elevators and if you're placed in the farthest wing from reception, it means you'll need to drag your luggage through about 8 firedoors & a flight of stairs (which they don't inform you of during check in). The room itself was nice, we were in one of the superior twin rooms which have been remodelled more recently, but the hair dryer was broken & the shower had mildew & other build up on the floor. Onto food: They provide allergens information (gluten, vegan, lactose & vegetarian) but make sure to pay attention as there were many times the wrong allergen sign was in front of the wrong dish. Breakfast: Thank god breakfast was included in the cost of our room because it is absolutely not worth paying for. They made the exact same food every single day for breakfast, no variation. Consisting of scrambled eggs, mini sausages, soggy veg, mini pancakes, and cereal/yogurt selections. Dinner: We paid for the dinner buffet once, never again. The lack of selection at breakfast should have given us an impression of what the dinner would be like, but we clearly weren't thinking properly. I suggest leaving the hotel for your meals. There are plenty of restaurants around that offer great options for less than the buffet cost (€30). And the biggest issue is dont expect to be able to use the wifi while youre there. It just doesnt work. And the staff are useless if you"

"Good stay"

"Loved Saariselka. The inn was perfect. Beautiful scenery around this cosy little village. I would definitely visit here again. Very relaxing, a little getaway from the hustle and bustle of Levi or Rovaniemi."

"Had a lovely time in Aurora Village. There’s a wide range of excursion to choose from and the facilities are all well maintained. Good selection for the breakfast buffet delicious dinner menus. "

"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."
