Hotel 3-Star di Lapland, Finland

In the mountains~ It is more convenient to drive by yourself! There are not many people, very quiet~ It takes about half an hour to drive from Santa Claus Village Drive into the woods of the hotel. There is a kind of lonely beauty!! It is also very mysterious... There are also deer in the hotel! It’s a pity that I didn’t see the northern lights this time

Buffet breakfast, diversified styles, my favorite salmon, eggplant juice beans and wheat skin, and a self-service waffles machine, let the guests make their own waffles 🧇, hot and very delicious! The hotel is on the side of the river in River Juutua, you can see the beautiful view of the river in the restaurant and room, first-class enjoyment! The front desk clerk was happy to answer our questions, and some were smiling! The waiters and food in the hotel restaurant (Aanaar) reached the level of a 5-star hotel. When serving, each dish will be explained, what is its main dish, side dish and juice! The most unfortunately, the thermostat does not have temperature, and the weather is not too cold. There is a hot tube for drying clothes in the bathroom, and the wet clothes are drying quickly!

This was a great location slightly out of the city to catch the Northern Lights without going on a tour (we saw it two nights out of two)! The glass cabins were well kept and clean, we were two adults and two teens and there was enough space for everyone. Note that this resort serves only five cabins and no one else, so the exclusivity is unsurpassed! It is also beside a frozen lake and you can walk to the middle to catch the auroras. A lot of nature activities to occupy the family in the daytime. Some recommendations would be the sauna+frozen lake dip, ice fishing and hiking to the rock church. The founder of the resort, Theo, is ultra friendly and nice and all the staff there (shoutout to Millie and Guillaume!) really go above and beyond to help make our stay there so memorable. All the photos uploaded I took with just my iphone16. All in I was extremely happy we chose this place for the Rovaniemi leg of our trip.

If you want a place that's out of the way, with strong potential for seeing the northern lights, this is the spot! Fantastic service—you can arrange for collection and/or drop-off at the nearest airport or bus station. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the surroundings are magical in the winter—perfect for walks in the snow and pretty photos. The norther lights showed up AMAZINGLY one night, and a little bit the other night we were there. The food was excellent and varied, and we were glad we chose half-board, as the location is quite far from anything else...but that's the magic of it. We didn't do any of the excursions, but there were so many options! If you want to get away in a place that feels like a winter fairytale, this is it!

Visited Rovaniemi to see Santa. Perhaps because it was late May, I had the entire 8-bed dorm to myself. The facilities were clean, bright, and very comfortable, just as you'd expect in a Nordic country. There are lockers available, and you can store your luggage if the cafe is open. Check-in and other services are handled at the cafe on the first floor. There's also a kitchen available for self-catering. The common area is bright and spacious. The sauna had set times for men and women, and private sessions were available for an extra fee. The bus stop for Santa's Village is just a few minutes' walk away. There's also a supermarket and a shopping mall nearby. It's a bit of a walk from the train station.

It was a novel experience to sleep on ice beds. Got to see northern lights at night, the staff was prompt in waking us up for it. Lounge area was good but no provision of glasses to drink water. They provide snow sauna but for people like me who are hesitant to join a group of unknown people it was a no go. The hotel and the dinner buffet were overpriced

The Glass Igloo was great but you have to walk to the guesthouse for your showers. The breakfast was great and the restaurant provided good options for lunch and breakfast. For the adventurous, you can go to the nearby supermarket and cook your meal in the sheltered fireplace. Don't forget to experience either the traditional or the electrical sauna during your stay! Most importantly, participate in the guided activities with hot drinks and roasted sausages such as husky sled rides, aurora hunting, and ice skating.

We visited for our honeymoon. The staff, Viljami, welcomed us kindly and provided us with fruit and other services. Thank you. Although the location is a little far from the city center, it was not inconvenient because I took an Uber when I traveled anyway. It's not a top-of-the-line facility, but it's a cost-effective place in Rovaniemi, where the accommodation is expensive. However, breakfast did not meet expectations.

The hotel is forty minutes away from the Levi ski resort. The check-in front desk is next to the white church. It is said that new people hold a ceremony here every week. Each single-family villa is surrounded by trees, and the privacy is good. At night, the glass in the small wooden roof can see the starry sky. When you are lucky, the aurora there is clear and clear. In the morning, you open the floor-to-ceiling curtains. The snow scene outside the wide viewing angle is super dreamy. Go to the former staff to respond positively to the email, the chef, Christmas dinner is also very good. Have the opportunity to come back and choose here.

I highly recommend this accommodation. It's similar to a Airbnb, with an apartment-style layout. The room is very well-equipped, and there's even a kitchen available. The location is also excellent, in the city center, with many places within walking distance, and bus stops are just a few minutes' walk away. However, check-in requires picking up the key at a bar about a 3-5 minute walk away. Overall, I highly recommend staying here!
