overall:
Definitely the best accommodation in Saariselkä
Geographically located at almost the highest point
We saw the unforgettable Aurora on the first night we stayed 😭🥺
And it’s really obvious! ! ! !
The hotel does not have much unnecessary light pollution
It’s just perfect for taking aurora photos with clear faces.
The room type we booked is a cabin in the building.
Highly recommend everyone to book this room type
The design of the building within the building is really comfortable.
There is also extra space for luggage, so it won’t be too crowded.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to easily see the entire snow scene
There is also a balcony where you can go out
There are also plastic snowboards to play with outside the door of the room.
Everyone has a smile from the time they check in at the front desk
The service attitude is super good!
After staying two nights we decided to book another night
This time I stayed in a glass house
It’s amazing though!
But I would recommend the cabin more
Oh, there’s more! Be sure to try their sauna
Super big, super comfortable and very reasonably priced
transportation:
I think it is more comfortable to drive by yourself if you come to Saariselkä. Although the ski resort, the entire town and the entire hotel are not far from each other, driving will make traveling much more convenient. It will not be difficult to drive on the way up, and you will see awesome scenery. The view, overall very convenient.
Breakfast: Sufficient portions, all you can eat salmon and various fish, together with beautiful views, the overall experience is very good
Dinner: The hotel provides dinner at the same place in the evening. I personally think it is worth a try. In addition to the atmosphere, the food is also very delicious! It is recommended to dine at sunset, everything is beautiful!

The room is clean and tidy. It is a small duplex. You can open the window and go out to the small balcony to enjoy the natural scenery and the Aurora. There were reindeer walking early in the morning. The restaurant in the hotel is also good, the scenery is very good, but there is very little food. Reindeer steak is the main food, but the taste is unacceptable to most people. There are few places to eat, drink and play nearby.

The hotel knew that we had to catch a flight early in the morning, so they specially prepared sandwiches and drinks for us, which was very considerate.

Spent the weekend at the hotel. Everything about the trip was so easy and well managed. The hotel seems to pride itself on helping you make this a great and easy vacation. They helped with all transfers, excursions, dining the works. The Activities staff is so eager to help you with picking the right excursions for you that really if you dont like something its your fault... :) they will answer any and all questions in advance to help you. Overall fantastic stay, weather is beyond the hotel's control and yes sadly it was less than optimal, but still enjoyed the entire trip.

Hotel in a beautiful location to see the northern lights. Hotel with a beautiful and clean room in a spectacular position to see a Lapland landscape. A good restaurant and a good breakfast. The staff of the restaurant is good, but the staff of reception should be more kind. For 4 stars hotel we expected more servicies. (e.g. a shuttle to reach the village center) and more competent staff for the activities. Good experience in Lapland.

We would definitely come back to this hotel again. We booked a 4-day package including 3 morning excursions: Snowmobile, Reindeer Farm and sleigh ride, and Husky experience and one evening Aurora hunting. We had booked the Aurora Glass Cabin. Everything was excellent, the reception staff, restaurant staff and all the guides. We had set menu with 2 mains to choose from. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented. The breakfast buffet was incredibly good with a huge variety covering all tastes. The cabin was quite small - but we knew that beforehand, but perfect for a 4 night stay. We we’re lucky to be able to see the northern lights, which of course can never be guaranteed. A magical winter wonderland

What a fantastic hotel! The staff were amazing and so friendly, a special thank you to the lovely barmaid (with blond/blue hair) who put up with me trying to learn a new Finnish word each day! The food was delicious! We stayed in a glass cabin, they’re all north facing so we were lucky enough to see the northern lights from our bed! They woke me up at 2am!!! We booked through Santas Lapland (I’ve done a separate review for them!) and we would stay here again any time! The view from the hotel is just breathtaking! There’s a handy restaurant and souvenir shop just a few steps away and the ski and toboggan slopes are in your doorstep! Really beautiful hotel with everything you need for an amazing stay!
