It was not the most modern room but it had everything that it needed to have.

The location was beautiful and the breakfast was nice. Sauna was a plus.

Interior is outdated, the shower in the room is tiny, the mobile airconditioning unit is really loud (but good that it is provided)

Excellent location at the end of the Hetta-Pallas trek, very good breakfast, excellent food in the restaurant, sauna is hot (usually in hotels it is not hot enough), the staff is helpful, direct bus service from Kolari railway station (limited times), food truck outside

Atmosphere, friendly staff. Generous breakfast. Coffee was a bit mild to our taste, but otherwise really nice.

Breakfast was outstanding. There was a large selection of different options available. Room was very simple but it was adequate for someone who is visiting Pallas for outdoor activities. The hotel sauna is also very good in my opinion. Nice way to relax after each day of hiking.

The rooms were really simple and the shower was in the hallway

The hotel's location is truly tremendous and offers breathtaking views far (the mountains and forests of Pallast Yllästunturi NP) and near (reindeer chilling out front on the street) The adjoined restaurant offers amazing food from Lapland (try the pike or the reindeer tongue) and, accordingly, the hotel's breakfast buffet was by far the finest we enjoyed in finland (favorite: spruce smoothie) In general, the hotel has a 50s vibe but in a good way! If you want to roam the NP or even start or end the multi-day hike from Hetta to Pallas, this hotel offers the perfect start and even better ending point !

everything was great

Lovely authentic hotel, tucked out of the way, we think they were suprised that 2 aussies came to stay. Rooms were small but cosy, shared bathrooms down the hall. Loved the breakfasts and all the choices. We even found a swimming hole to plunge into after skiing for the day. Sauna was being rebuilt, so we had to do it tough :-)

Maybe there was no shower in the room, everything else was fine

everything was very good, even more than I expected. There is a restaurant and a bar nearby, you don't have to drive far.

The rooms could be updated.

The hotel’s breakfast was excellent. Also the dinner enjoyed at the hotel’s restaurant was delicious.

Stayed in July 2022

Although everything is still functioning but the property needs some renovations. The lady in the reception is not welcoming.

The man in the reception is friendly and very welcome. The resturant is great. It is just in the nature.

The drying closet for sportswear in the room is old and inefficient.

Exceptionally cosy atmosphere in an unique location. Great breakfast and the best reindeer kebab from a street kitchen on a parking lot (1st of May extra). Spacious sauna.

it is pricey, especially for a young couple like us, but it was still worth the money. the price is very justified by what you get! we hope to come here again one day when we can afford to stay longer.

the staff were so very friendly and helpful, the food was great (especially the breakfast) and the location is perfect- in the middle of nature!

Staff and location

Stayed in July 2021

Excellent location in the middle of the Pallas fells. Price to quality ratio not that high as the rooms (and overall facilities) are a bit outdated by now. However, everything was clean and tidy. Superb restaurant with local dishes and drinks. Highly recommended for people who enjoy hiking on the fells, also a great end to the legendary Hetta-Pallas hike. Parking lot often occupied by reindeer friends (an absolute bonus for me personally). In general, I would recommend this place for its hospitality and old time feel - however, be mindful that the facilities are a bit outdated. Sauna also available on a daily basis.

The hotel needs definitely a renovation. Everything is very old, it looks like untouched since >30 years. Wlan only in certain areas, slow.

Great for outdoor activities. It a special place.

Stayed in July 2021

The beds are a bit hard, after a day of hiking a bit more comfy bed would be nice.

The breakfast is amazing! If you're not staying here I would recommend driving up for breakfast before hiking! The ala carte food was good as well. And of course the location could not be better for a hiking holiday. Trails leaving from the backyard, and there are a few bikes for hire if you want to mix your activities.

Room was too small, door was difficult to open, general repairs needed, very limited lunch options unless you drive to a different location.......

The ventilation wasn’t working correctly and we couldn’t open the window. So there were problems with fresh air in the room. Could be improved

The location was excellent. the stuff was friendly. the restaurant had amazing breakfast and the food in a la carte menu was delicious. Sauna was so good after skiing day.

Beautiful location in the middle of nature, reindeer walking past the windows. Our dog got treats as a welcome gift. The breakfast was really good. There was a small bond to go take a (very cold) swim 😍

Would suggest to skip the Lappish delicacies platter, as the portion is miniscule for 26 euros.

There's truly no better place to stay for a skiing adventure in the fells of Pallas. The location of the hotel is perfect, in the midst of the mountains, and provides the ideal base for adventures on cross country, alpine, or backcountry skis. At night, if you are lucky, the lack of light pollution makes this an incredible place for the northern lights (or just the stars). The atmospheric old mountain lodge style of the hotel suited us perfectly. The dining room is beautifully designed, the sitting areas are cozy, and the hotel guides ("owls") lead daily tours of the mountains, free for hotel guests. They're also helpful for anyone planning their own adventures. The man at the ski rental shop deserves a special mention for being incredibly friendly and helpful. He was very patient in introducing us to backcountry skis and setting up all the gear, and provided excellent suggestions to help us have a great first experience. The rooms are austere and somewhat institutional, but this is part of the style of the hotel. You're also in the middle of the mountains, in a national park. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with many Lapland touches, such as spruce shoot smoothie, blueberry soup, lingonberry, and cloudberry jam. The hot breakfast items also rotated, great if you have a longer stay. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious and well executed, albeit at typical Lapland prices. The spruce cake was particularly delicious. Food truck outside during the day also quite good.

My wife and I loved everything about the hotel and the area surrounding it.

The property is very much in need of a major overhaul. The problems are too many to list. The restaurant is under staffed and over priced.

The location is perfect.
