    This hotel is exceptionally clean and well-designed. Breakfasts were very good as well. We also ate lunch and dinner at the restaurant and had exceptional meals. I especially liked their sweet potato soup. The two ladies who staffed the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the toilet and the lady on duty immediately fixed it herself. The other lady helped us with our taxi and questions about getting to Inari, the next town with the Sami museum, and advised us about the nightclub. This was a wonderful way to end our excellent trip to Finland!

    The bulk of satisfaction came from the fact that apartment is renovated. It would be great to have bath robes (not only a towel) given that there is sauna, and a kitchen towel. In general, this kind of little things were missing so it felt like maintenance of the apartment is overlooked. But as long as it is clean and in near mint condition, it is not a big problem.

    Spacious and renovated apartment, great sauna

    The only thing that we would say is that it might make sense to have some very bare essentials like salt, pepper, and oil present in the kitchen for guests.

    We stayed in a one bedroom apartment with a private sauna and absolutely could not have been happier. The sauna was easy to work, the hotel was in the center of Ivalo and very close to everything (this matters when it is -25...), and the staff were great. What's not to love? We will certainly return.

    Only 2 thing: 1. no curtains on bedroom glass door facing the living room, hence zero privacy. 2. 2 big toilets rooms, BUT Only one shower...

    We booked the 2 bedroom apartment with no breakfast. Very spacious, fully equipped, sauna, fireplace and more. Supermarket and restaurants walking distance, even in the snow.

Restaurant- dinner prepared to fine dining standards, flavorful generous portions. Breakfast Buffet - everything you would expect and more. Popular breakfast favorites plus many local specialties, meats, breads, veggies, eggs, breakfast beverages, yogurt & fresh fruit, etc. Did not expect to have food this good in such a beautiful backcountry setting!Nothing to report

    Probably the best thing of the hotel was the staff, but also the location and the tours that they provide. The two guides were amazing and very polite. The food of the restaurant is great, we tried the sautéed reindeer, the salmon soup and the reindeer burger, every 10/10. Thank you so much for everything.
