Find hotels in Vaalajärvi from $155

"This room was supposed to minimalistic and easy for an overnight stay to break up a trip. It was not easy. I arrived to the property without any information being sent re:accessing my room or the key. The number on the door was incorrect and took me to a person not the hotel. I contacted hotels.com via chat and got a call from someone from the hotel. They gave me the correct to the lockbox and I got my key. Despite only being a few hours after the start of check in, the lobby was locked - which means the elevator was locked. I had looked ahead to ensure it had an elevator so this was incredibly discouraging. We lugged our suitcases up a small spiral, marble and slippery staircase. Our room was simple and clean but lacked more than one outlet. The sink filled upon first use and didn’t really drain. By the time we left we were using the shower to wash our hands. Breakfast was a large spread but the quality of the food was not where I preferred it to be. We ate a few bites and then went back to the room to pack and leave. The elevator was unlocked for our morning departure, which was helpful. I would not stay here again. I would drive from Saariselka to Rovaniemi and skip the overnight. It was like staying in a dorm room. If that’s what you want - you’ll be very happy… provided the sink drains."

"The best part of this hotel is the food. Absolutely fantastic dinner with two different pan fried fish with vegetables. The breakfast was even better. So delicious you would like to spend the rest of the day there. It compensates for the humble and even little primitive room."
