Hotel location is nice. It stands on edge of town and national park, so that convenient for shopping or eating out to town side and also easy to enjoy hiking in the woods or aurora watching at hill top hut. Breakfast is delicious. In-room sauna is very comfortable.

Nice big room, I really loved how it was made up with wood. Large choice for breakfast. Very well located, close to the trails in Urho Kekkonen National Park. Restaurant Kaltio was very good.

You have to walk outside to reach the breakfast area & the restaurant. The breakfast area was very crowded. Overall, the place felt very touristy; a bit unauthentic.

Super nice rooms, great customer service. Hotel restaurant was superb too.

Breakfast servings weren't restocked even one hour before closing. That's a bit shame, only got salmon mousse on one day out of three. Breakfast could include more basic stuff too for wider audience.

Location is really nice, the view to the forest. Breakfast was superb and so were the staff. The room itself was really nice even if the couch was really old. Beds were nice and clean. Great bug in hotel menu of the tv, gave me a laugh, check the picture, i think it was in the menu about the gym

The pillows were kind of bad. The soundproofing and echo, had to listen neighbour sing. Minor bugs in the hotels software of the tv but i got a good laugh out of them. Amount of parking space

The breakfast was amazing, soooo much choice! The room was spacious!

The buildings seem a bit old but what bothered me the most is that the room, the reception, the restaurant for the breakfast and the sauna were in 4 different places.

One of the best breakfast buffets I’ve ever experienced, and dinner in the restaurant the night of arrival was tasty as well and a good value.

Bedroom was tiny and the single beds very narrow —- hard to find and use outlets for necessary devices. Had to use overflow parking lot away from building where rooms located, which was difficult in driving rain — no assistance offered.

The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are modern with a Lapland twist. We stayed in a room with a sauna, and both the room and the sauna were gorgeous. On top of all of this their customer service was amazing! Highly recommend the hotel to everyone wishing to stay in Saariselkä.

Location is good for getting to the ski resort. Room had sauna and kitchenette in the room.

Bedsheets had hairs, was not completely clean. Bed was not double but rather two singles bunched together.
