One of my first experiences in the snow and it was unforgettable. Perfect view of the snowfall from a full window wall. The forest looked like a winter wonderland. Best part i was able view the Borealis lights from my room! No need to venture out. Oh yes, the room was clean and beautiful. Breakfast is included! Do have a couple restaurants down the hill. ##### Alejandro Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Juho Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Overall I liked this one. Rooms were nicely decorated with big windows towards the mountain, location is very convenient in relation to services at Kilpisjärvi and staff friendly. Beds were comfortable, though my personal preference would be a down pillow + I wouldn't mind a bit higher quality rain shower head... both relatively minor things. Also liked the breakfast in general, though was fairly standard good quality 4-star hotel type. Therefore perhaps specialty coffee options and some additions / finishing touches could elevate the experience a bit further. ##### Juho Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Markku Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort For persons who love nature! ##### Markku Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### wai kuen Sep 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities very close to the lake , supermarket, beautiful areas. ##### wai kuen Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Juha-Matti Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Ok ##### Juha-Matti Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### tari Apr 22, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### No running water on high season Looks like everybody expect the customers knows that there is water shortage during high season in this hotel. So you should avoid this hotel during eastern and Pilkki time. We stayed in superior extra room in uppstairs, but neither the toilet or shower didn't work during our stay during entire evening. Not a plesant feeling to return to hotel after a ski tour, Had to use the hotel restaurants toilets and bide showers donwnstairs... where the water pressure was enough. The hotel is situated highest in the elevation on the village so the water pressure is not enough. How ever no warnings for that anywhere even tough it seemed no new news for the staff working there. So if you think shared bathroom experience in the hotel for the price >200€ is ok, stay there, Just wondering what would have been happened during fire alarm. Also the maintenance of the parking was horrible, Cars got stuck in slushy snow due to lack on snow rermowal. Sad to see beautiful and potentially good hotel working like hotel you exped to find in third world countries.
