Close to the small but modern Ivalo airport. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and bus station from where you can take a bus to Saariselka ski resort, which cost about 10 euros. The hotel is situated by a fabulous river and nature. You can book some amazing excursions from the hotel's ClubNord department. Extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful hotel

This hotel is fantastic! I stayed here for three nights and the staff was wonderful! Diana, Terhi and the server in the restaurant were unbelievably helpful. They assisted me arranging a very special birthday celebration and showed me where to go hiking and how to reach there by bus. They all went beyond the call of duty. Besides that, the hotel is in a good location, bus is easily accessible. Breakfast was wonderful and prices are quite reasonable for rooms. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you for making my stay so enjoyable!

Beliggende ved Ivalo elven, som sakte flyter forbi. Ved vÄrt opphold var ikke sauna tilgjengelig, det trekker ned pÄ totalen. En spiste abbor filet som fikk 5 av 6. En spiste reinsdyr ragu med pasta, 6 av 6.

Rauhallinen ympÀristö

Huone oli siisti, mutta kaipaisi jo pÀivitystÀ tÀhÀn pÀivÀÀn. SÀngyt oli hyvÀt nukkua ja ikkunasta nÀkyi kaunis jokimaisema. Hyttysverkot olisi kyllÀ syytÀ uusia ja yölamppujen kunto kannattaisi tarkistaa. LisÀtyynyt saatiin pyynnöstÀ ja kylmÀpatruunoiden sÀilytys onnistui hotellin pakasteessa. Huoneessa oli pieni jÀÀkaappi, mikÀ mahdollisti omien evÀiden sÀilytyksen. YmpÀristö oli ihanan rauhallinen vaikka ÀÀnet toisista huoneista kuului melko selvÀsti yöaikaan.
