What we liked the most about this hotel was the staff. The people working there were helpful and friendly. I would like to give special thanks to Marcus for making feeding the reindeers and the snowmobile tour much more fun than it could have been. By the way, I couldn't imagine that a snowmobile tour could be so amazing. I would definitely do it again.
We are sincerely grateful for the professional and warm service in the restaurant. Dovile gave us a lot of useful advice and told us many interesting things about the hotel and Ivalo. I need to point out that the food in the restaurant is absolutely amazing. I have to admit that this part of our vacation exceeded our expectations for sure.
I recommend booking the activities you want before your arrival. We were not able to book the husky safaris because everything was already booked. Fortunately, the staff gave us some contacts, and we booked this activity ourselves at another farm. But just to simplify things, it's better to take care of it in advance.
One very useful thing was that the hotel provides really warm outdoor clothes and shoes for free. They sincerely take care of their guests :) That is why we really liked there, and I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Set a 5-minute drive from Ivalo town centre, Ivalo River Camping offers heated cottages with shared kitchen facilities in the summer time, free parking and free WiFi.

It was a useful location, the room though small had a microwave and kettle plus fridge, and was only 20 metres from washing and cooking facilities.

Ivalo is not big, but it is strategically positioned between Rovaniemi and Inari. Amazing location to admire the northern lights and visit Inari. Nature is incredible and it looks less touristy than Rovaniemi.

Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers.
Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers. A great place to take a rest from busy life and see SNOW in time of climate change. The shops in the centre offer everything you may need and even far in the forest your mobile will still get the signal.

We enjoyed watching the northern lights in the outskirts of the city ... Dont expect the colorful northern lights as you see it in the photos and videos in the Internet , mostly it will be in white color only... Ivalo Hotel club nord and northerlightsriders.fi arrange the best tours which we hired. They showed us the lights in the better places around Ivalo and inari... Apart from norther lights, snowmobile, skiing and other sports activities are available but we did not try those things.

Ivalo town as a tourist attraction might not have too much to offer, however, I was going to Inari and spending time there, hence, Ivalo was optimal for accommodation. It is great that the little town has all services needed and several places for grocery shopping. Also good bus connection.

Ivalo is small but includes some lovely nature trails which are lit in winter and have useful information boards. The supermarket sells fabulous camping kit- such well designed and well made things we don't have at home like collapsible silicon sandwich boxes. And lovely wooden cutlery.
Location: 300 meters from the bus station, close to many outdoor activities companies, supermarket is right across the road, close to the Ivalo river.
Apartment: just perfect, with everything you might need for longer stays as well, a super comfortable sitting room and fully equipped kitchen.
Check-in: very smooth and we arrived during holiday (owners were not there).
Owners: very kind and available since the day we booked, they also helped us managing one of our outdoor activity with a local company.
This location was about 15 min from the town of Ivalo (you need a car to get here). It was a beautiful and quiet location on Lake Inari with lake access. We enjoyed snow shoeing on the frozen lake! Our chalet had 2 bedrooms (two single beds in each room), 1 bathroom (heated floors) that had a sauna attached, a kitchen (coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle), dining table, living room area with a smart tv and access to streaming services (you need to use your own login), and fireplace (wood provided).
Cozy, clean, and comfortable.
It had the necessary items to refrigerate, eat microwaved meals, and had a kettle for hot drinks.
The check-in and check-out method was seamless.
The location is ideal - 6 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from Ivalo, and within 30 minutes to Saariselka and Inari.
P.S. - You only need to drive a few minutes north of Ivalo to see a spectacular showing of the Northern Lights.
Definitely a great deal for the price.
Petteri welcomed us very well in Ivalo. The apartment is very clean, modern and functional (all we need is there). We were able to have several experiences thanks to Petteri: snowmobile, reindeer farm, traditional meals and see the northern lights! We are very happy with our trip to Ivalo, Petteri is a caring and warm person.
This hotel combines cleanliness and comfort seamlessly, offering a serene environment for a relaxing stay. Its strategic location enhances convenience, making it an ideal choice for leisure travelers. The attention to cleanliness and the overall ambiance contribute to a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
The room was a great size with modern interior, fridge and water kettle. The location is fantastic, right next to Ivalo river. The breakfast buffet, which was included in the price had a variety of options. On top of that the staff was very attentive to my special dietary needs (gluten free).
Good price/quality hotel. Rooms were clean, and the staff was friendly. Good location in Ivalo next to the river. Free use of equipment such as ski boots, xc skis, and ice skating shoes was a nice bonus. Activities can be booked at the hotel.
Abosultely beautiful views from the house. The host was extremely flexible with our arrival and departure times. He assisted us with planning some excursions while we were in Ivalo. Very easy to contact! Would 100% stay there again!
Good location between Inari and Ivalo. Comfortable and nice room in the middle of the forest. Kitchen is clean and you can find all utensils you need. A good spot to see the northern lights. Host is kind and friendly.
Beautiful, cozy, well-equipped apartment in a great location, in the city center. Friendly and accommodating hosts. Highly recommended! Perfect spot for exploring Lapland.
Very clean and comfortable. Great location, near the Ivalo town and airport. The resort area is very nice, next to the river. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
