The hotel is located within walking distance from the station (but NOT with ski equipment) at the Ylläsjärvi side of the resort. I have to say that the reception staff was friendly beyond expectations and the breakfast was also better than average (especially when compared with other Finnish hotels).
I could go again. We had a room with in room stairs to the loft and those were extremely steep and hard to climb for an adult. Anyway, kids were happy to get their own nest from the upper level. As always, Finnish hotels rarely are equipped with decent cooking during the summer months. I have no doubts that during the winter the rooms will be warm but during the hot summer days they could be cooler.
We stayed in an igloo. Although it was cloudy and we couldn't see the aurora, we felt very peaceful and relaxed when we lay in bed and looked up at the sky and the surrounding environment. The receptionist was very friendly and proactive in helping us. When we took photos by the stove, she took the initiative to light the firewood, which added to the atmosphere.
It was an experience out of the world during our stay here. We arrived early wanting to drop our bags but they allowed us to check in early anyway as our room was ready.
The cabin itself was clean and spacious enough for 2 people. The bathroom floor was heated which was nice. We got to even see the northern lights from our bed even though it only lasted for less than a minute. One thing to note is cabins are located quite near to one another and with the glass panels, you don't get total privacy. Make sure to request for a cabin off the stretch of main road to have more privacy.
We had breakfast and dinner here. Options were quite limited but understandable given the location. All dishes were labelled clearly, and we had no issues as vegetarians. We even saw some neighbourhood squirrels enjoying their breakfast.
The place is very modern and managed commercially as a business, with everything extra requiring extra charges (you may even pay for staff to pick up your bags from your cabin to the main reception, which is a 2-5 min walk affair).
Despite this, we think it's still worth trying out for a night to have something that's different.
Hotelli oli hyvällä paikalla ja pysäköintialue takapihalla oli tilava. Huonekohtaista jäähdytystä ei ollut, mutta huone ei onneksi ollut turhan lämmin. Henkilökunta oli oikein ystävällinen. Aamiainen keskivertotasoa. Pieni miinus tv-kanavatarjonnasta, huoneessa ei näkynyt kuin kanavat 1, 2, 3, 4, Ava ja Sub.
The icebreaker car will pick you up at the hotel and then return you to the hotel. It is very convenient to stay here. Parking is available opposite the hotel. There are not many varieties of breakfast, but it is quite complete, including fruits, yogurt, and freshly ground coffee. Breakfast is available at 6 o'clock.
Layout: The entire hotel layout is shown in Figure 1. The wilderness cabin is closer to the check-in front desk. Walking out is the Aurora Hut close to the restaurant. The furthest away is the Arctic Chalet. Meals, bar, front desk hours are shown in Figure 2.
Aurora Hut: If you come to Inari, it is recommended to stay in the Aurora Hut, because the glass house is designed at the right angle to see the aurora. It is easy to spot the aurora in the house. After spotting it, I immediately went out to the lake to take pictures. The constant changes of the aurora are beautiful! The reserved wilderness cabin was upgraded to the Aurora cabin on site for 190 euros. At the same time, the upgrade fee for dinner is 48 euros per person, and there is also 80 euros per person for breakfast and tax.
Key point: Be sure to book a room on Ctrip based on the actual number of people. This hotel includes breakfast and dinner. The food is good and highly recommended!
Small town: There are two large supermarkets next to each other in the small town, and there is an Internet celebrity restaurant next to the museum. The Internet celebrity restaurant is crowded and requires reservation in advance, but if you are too lazy, you might as well just eat at the hotel buffet.
Travel activities: There is also a travel company Visit Inari in the town. You can search their official website to book a reindeer cart. The travel agency will pick you up at the hotel door 15 minutes in advance. But in fact, there is an activity reservation center on the right side of the front desk of this wilderness igloo hotel as soon as you enter the door. This wilderness hotel has many activities, including ice fishing, motorboating, hiking, and aurora chasing. Just pay to sign up at the front desk and gather ten minutes in advance. All activities here are provided with a full set of outdoor professional equipment such as clothes, hats, gloves, and shoes. No need to worry about clothes at all!
In terms of comfort, the Aurora Lodge is a little colder. After all, there is a large glass roof. If it snows, you don’t have to worry. There is a one-touch heating button in the house to melt snow, which is very convenient. There are still no slippers and bathrobes. If you need a sauna, you need to go to the front desk to make a reservation for 10 euros/half hour. I gave you the key and went to the sauna in the last row of the Aurora Lodge. The prison has three hours of daylight to use the sauna, otherwise it is pitch dark.
Inari surprise: There are Tesla charging stations, remember to download the aurora forecast app and other reminders, so I went to the hotel lake to take pictures of the aurora. Inari can contact a taxi when going to Ivalo Airport. The taxi driver's business card is also in the picture. He is a local driver and the meter costs almost 100 euros. It is a good deal! You can also ask the front desk for recommendations.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!
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.

Very Good
Never expect such a beautiful resort. Away from City but a good location for leisure. Nice breakfast, friendly staffs and a very good service.
I recently had the privilege of staying at Apukka Resort in Rovaniemi, Finland, and it was undoubtedly the highlight of my Scandinavian journey. From the moment I arrived in this snowy wonderland, with daily temperatures around -7°C, to my cozy cabin room, everything about Apukka was simply amazing. Having to see the mesmerizing Northern Lights from my bed was a dream come true. The comfortable bed, warm water, and the delicious food served at the restaurant made each moment special. The view of the frozen lake was nothing short of magical; it felt like stepping into an AI painting turned real. Even in the cold, I had one of the best swing rides of my life with the view of the lake. As someone from warm and sunny Singapore, this escape to the cold was a unique and unforgettable experience. The reception team at Apukka was top-notch, and they even had a room ready for me when I arrived slightly earlier than check-in time, which was a great relief after my long journey from Copenhagen. But it wasn't just the accommodations and the views that made my stay exceptional. I also had the pleasure of experiencing a thrilling husky ride and learning about how these incredible dogs are trained from puppies to their role as working animals. The passion and knowledge of the guides who led this adventure were truly remarkable. The 'Meet the Reindeer' session was a delightful educational experience. I gained a newfound appreciation for these magnificent creatures and learned so much about their role in the local culture and environment. The guides who accompanied us during the husky and reindeer experiences were nothing short of amazing. Their expertise and enthusiasm added a whole new dimension to the trip. Apukka Resort delivered a magical and unforgettable experience. The comfortable bed, the regular appearance of the Northern Lights, the enriching encounters with huskies and reindeer, and the exceptional guides all contributed to making this trip one of the best times of my life. I highly recommend Apukka Resort to anyone seeking a un
Northern Lights Village in Saariselkä is an absolutely beautiful resort with an atmosphere that truly lives up to its name. During our stay, we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights every day and almost every night, without needing to go outside for aurora hunting at all. Some nights, the aurora was incredibly strong, with vivid green and even red colors clearly visible. Seeing red aurora was especially rare and felt truly magical. One of the most unforgettable experiences was being able to lie comfortably in bed and watch the Northern Lights through the glass roof, right from the room. It was simply breathtaking and deeply impressive. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, with warm smiles that make guests feel well taken care of. The room is comfortable and thoughtfully designed, with heated floors, which is very nice in extreme winter conditions. On the first night, the room felt quite cold due to a power outage, so we had to sleep wearing warm clothes. On the second night, the temperature was much better and comfortable. Considering that the outside temperature dropped to around -40°C, the room may feel slightly cool at times, but overall it was still comfortable enough to sleep well. Bathroom amenities are mostly complete; however, toothbrushes and razors are not provided, which would be a nice improvement for a resort of this level. Other amenities are well prepared. Overall, Northern Lights Village offers an extraordinary and once-in-a-lifetime experience. Being able to see the Northern Lights so clearly and frequently, right from your bed, makes this place truly special. Highly recommended for anyone who dreams of experiencing the Northern Lights in the most comfortable and unforgettable way.
Santa Claus Holiday Village Hotel – A Magical Stay in the Heart of Lapland I recently had the pleasure of staying at Santa Claus Holiday Village in Rovaniemi, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a festive atmosphere that truly captured the spirit of Christmas. The accommodation was cozy, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. Our cabin was spacious, featuring a private sauna—a perfect way to unwind after a chilly day outside. The room was well-equipped with modern amenities while still maintaining a charming, rustic feel. The location is unbeatable, situated right in the Santa Claus Village. It was incredibly convenient to visit Santa’s office, cross the Arctic Circle, and enjoy the various winter activities like husky sledding and reindeer rides. Plus, the breathtaking snowy landscapes made for unforgettable moments. The breakfast buffet offered a great selection of hot and cold dishes, including traditional Finnish options. The on-site restaurants also provided delicious meals, with a cozy ambiance perfect for relaxing after a day of adventures. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ensuring guests had the best experience possible. Whether it was arranging activities or providing recommendations, their service was top-notch.
It's a really nice little cabin, a lot of space, and cozy warm space. It looks nicer than the pictures shown on the website. Great location too right at downtown of Saariselka, easy to park.

Seaside Glass Villa is a unique and memorable place to stay in Kemi. The hotel is conveniently located not far from the railway station, making it easy to reach, and it sits right next to a beautiful lake, offering a peaceful and scenic atmosphere. One of the highlights of the villa is the glass ceiling. While lying in bed, you can look directly up at the sky, which creates a very special experience. Unfortunately, during our stay we were not lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. The weather was extremely cold, almost -30°C, and even inside the room, the temperature felt quite cool. We had to sleep wearing at least one layer of warm clothing. The overall atmosphere of the resort is calm and pleasant. The view from the bedroom is stunning, with the frozen lake right in front of you and a clear view of the sky, which feels truly impressive and unforgettable, especially in winter. There are restaurants and a supermarket nearby, which is very convenient for guests. Despite the extreme cold, staying at Seaside Glass Villa was a unique experience, especially for those who enjoy nature, winter landscapes, and peaceful surroundings.
I caught the RV train from Helsinki, which was relaxing and a brilliant way to see the countryside. Arriving into Rovaniemi at 21:20, it was a short cab drive to the hotel,and with 24/7 reception checking was a breeze. Twin room 410 was well appointed, clean, and beds were comfortable; the room safe was easy to set and use. I appreciated the door chain for extra security and peaceful night sleep. Santas Hotel central location was excellent ,with the padestrian mall, shops, restaurants, and bars literally around the corner. Taxis could be found out front, and the santa/airport bus was only a short walk up the street. Though do pay attention to santa express pickup and drop-off times as they do not run that regularly. The buffet breakfast had something for everyone to enjoy! Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, and the Christmas decorations throughout the hotel made my inner child smile.😊 There are many attractions, so be sure to give yourself enough time to experience everything. I will definitely choose to stay again next time I travel to Rovaniemi. Sha, Sydney, Australia. 🇦🇺
