9.6/10 Exceptional! (43 reviews)

The hotel is right next to the national park so great for hiking. The hotel is also in the centre of Saariselkä which is compact and pedestrian friendly so this makes it easy if you’re using buses to get in and out of town and don’t have a vehicle. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant are good. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly. Be aware that activities book out and so if you want to do more than hiking you’ll need to plan and book ahead.

9/10 Wonderful! (2 reviews)

We (a couple) stayed in an Arctic Suite at the Aurora Collection hotel. It was fantastic! Nicky was an excellent host. Our room had both a private sauna and a private hot tub. We did not use the hot tub, but found the sauna delightful, clean, and plenty hot! The room was functional, clean, and had a small fridge and a kettle for heating water. The bed was comfortable and, as we visited in February, it was very warm and cozy. A continental breakfast was provided, which was fresh and filling. While we were there the weather cooperated every night and we could easily watch the aurora from our bed. This was a very special experience. The hotel is new, and in February 2022 the reception building was not complete. This did not detract from our stay, and we look forward to seeing it when we return to the Aurora Collection! All of the pictures uploaded were taken in the parking lot of the hotel January/February 2022.
