Finlandia: hotel con palestra nella provincia di Regione della Lapponia

Siamo tornati da poco da questo viaggio con un fascino unico, ci siamo affidati come sempre alla nostra agenzia di fiducia e anche questa volta scelta azzeccata, hotel nel centro città dove inizia l’area pedonale e servizi come taxi e bus a pochi metri e in più due centri commerciale quindi con almeno un po’ di vita, hotel pulito e secondo me recentemente ristrutturato con un bel servizio cordiale e buon buffet sia per cenare che colazione, lo consiglio. Buon viaggio

La nostra vacanza in Lapponia è stata una favola anche grazie a questa fantastica struttura che ci ha accolti. Abbiamo soggiornato nell’appartamento in legno dal nome Kelo Glass Igloo dove c’era il letto matrimoniale in legno (caratteristico dei paesi lapponi) e un’apposita sezione dell’appartamento stesso fatto ad igloo con il vetro tutto intorno per ammirare l’aurora boreale. L’appartamento è molto spazioso è dotato di cucina con tutti gli accessori. Inoltre all’interno c’è un bel camino e la sauna. La struttura è molto grande offre il trattamento di mezza pensione (colazione e cena) con un buffet vario, ovviamente con cibi tipici dei paesi lapponi, quindi gli alimenti e i condimenti sono molto differenti rispetto all’Italia, ma si mangiano cose tipiche ed è questo il bello della vacanza! Inoltre è possibile usufruire delle loro escursioni: noi siamo stati in gita con la slitta tirata dalle renne, abbiamo fatto il safari con i cani Husky, guidato la motoslitta e visto l’aurora boreale…che dire? È stato tutto emozionante e perfetto…non saremo mai voluti tornare a casa!

Ci sono molti motivi per scegliere questa struttura, a partire dai glass igloo da dove abbiamo ammirato l’aurora, alla posizione. Direttamente dall’hotel infatti partono escursioni in motoslitta e con gli Husky, il che è particolarmente comodo. Tra l’altro le guide sono molto simpatiche e professionali. Il ristorante in stile tradizionale e il personale giovane e gentilissimo. Infine la posizione in mezzo alla foresta sulle sponde di un fiume, rende tutto ancora più perfetto!

Il personale è gentile e buono in inglese, quindi non ho avuto alcuna difficoltà di comunicazione. Mi consiglio di comprare un bagno incluso e godere della sauna finlandese. Per i cibi, devi pagare per il buffet da pranzo, ma la qualità è davvero buona. Valeva ogni penny, non c'era nulla di scomodo, se dovessi scegliere una, non c'era nessuna acqua nel bagno, eccetto il sapone.

After reading the reviews and all the nice promises on their website, i had high hopes about this hôtel. How foolish was i?!? I wrote an email the week before our arrival to ask if an early checking at 2h instead of 4h could be possible as we had to prepare for our wedding. They’ve answered that they will ask the cleaning team to do the room first so we could enter it earlier. When we arrived there was no one available so we had to ring and wait for someone as it’s how this place work. The person who arrived 10 minutes later was really not nice nor polite. We felt like disturbing him when he told us that they never do early checking. When i told him i’ve sent an email about this 2 weeks before he said i was lying. Oh ok!?! As we had 2 hours to wait we’ve decided to use the safe locker room they are providing. There is only 10 lockers there. After 10 minutes of struggles to try to lock a locker with all our luggages inside, we had to go back upstair to ring the rude guy again. We’ve waited 10 minutes again for him. When he arrived he told us that the lockers were broken and unusable. No sign to tell us that or nothing, just figure this out yourself when he knew it was broken! There is only two seats in the entrance and there were already 4 people waiting there with their luggage. I asked him what we were then supposed to do and he told us to just leave all our stuff unattended and unlocked there, with everybody able to go through them. I asked him if he was serious and he told me ”if you don’t trust us you can leave with your luggage!” I told him that i don’t know him and with some reviews already talking about stolen stuff in the hôtel you can understand why! He was very rude so i told him i was going to film him and that’s when he said i could leave our stuff in our room while it was being cleaned. We’ve decided to do this and whild doing it we’ve met the cleaning team. Honestly they should be the ones dealing with guests while the rude guy should be left far from any hospitality job where you interact with humans! They told us nobody told them we’ve asked for early checking otherwise they would have done our room first, especially if we wrote an email way earlier to ask for this. Probably the rude guy who forgot how to do his job again! After all that we only had 30 minutes to wait LOL When entering the room, we’ve realised that the fire place is fake. If you wait for the heat or flames of a real fire place you’la be sadly disapointed. Just a fake very light colored ”flame”. The bathroom is one foot away from the bed and the toilets are in it with the shower and sink. There is just a small wall separating between your pillow and the toilet. Wonder why we don’t see this on their website??? The room is advertised as a room ”with view”. If a view on street work and an old building is ”a view” then this is true. (see my pics for that awesome view) People are smoking and drinking at night on the steps of the outside entrance so it’s always

La stanza è buona, il parcheggio è gratuito, l'igiene pulita e l'accoppiamento completo.C'è un ristorante cinese vicino a Liu, chiamato Big China, un buffet 17.9 europeo.In questo posto, l'alloggio è molto costoso.

Nel centro di Rovaniemi, ci sono molti supermercati e ristoranti intorno, e un centro commerciale. L'ufficio di tutti i tipi di attività è molto vicino, che è molto utile. L'alloggio è grande, con spazio per bambini e microonde, si può riscaldare cibo freddo e mangiare. La colazione è anche buona.

Posizione nel centro di Ivalo, comoda a tutto. Ampio parcheggio molto comodo per noi che avevamo l'auto. La nostra camera era molto ampia con sauna. Il bagno sembrava rinnovato di recente rispetto alla camera. Estremamente silenziosa nonostante l'hotel fosse al completo. Non abbiamo fatto escursioni con loro, abbiamo provato il ristorante solo una sera ed era tutto molto curato. Colazione buona, per noi italiani abituati al dolce forse non molto varia ma va bene così.

Last thing you need when going to breakfast on the first morning is the staff to be greeting you with screaming that you are late for 10am breakfast by 1 minute. The Asian lady then started to shoo other people off their tables after another 5 minutes. Stressful situation to say the least, and a terrible way for hotel guests to have their first experience of their staff. The hotel room was large but very dated. Painted tiles (rather than them being replaced), broken oven that doesn’t work, very old kitchen cupboard units chipped and hanging off hinges, wooden steps into bathrooms to stub your toes every time, chipped wooden stairs that give you splinters in your feet when walking up them. Etc. Would choose somewhere else next time.

自助早餐的款式多樣化，有兩個做華夫餅的機，讓住客自己做華夫餅(waffle)吃。前台的服務員態度都非常友善，和樂意解答我們的問題，只有個別人員常叫我們去找酒店的旅行社報他們的旅行團！房間夠寬敞舒適，但室內的暖氣機壞咗，這幾天天氣很冷，接近零度，幸好酒店有移動式的暖風機可以供應給我們，問題就解決了！

Not a good start. Checked in with not much of a welcome by female receptionist, she gave us our key and pointed to some steps. Found our room and started to unpack when a man used a key pass and entered our room and then went out again and then came in again, and went out again…..we were baffled! A few minutes later the not so friendly receptionist came in to our room, (it would have been nice if she had knocked) saying that were in the wrong room….like we’d put ourselves in the room! She went out again and then came back saying we’re in the room and we’ll have to move. Next the Crystal Rep. knocked on the door and said they’d been a mistake and we’re been put in the wrong room and she would find out what room number were moving to (the receptionist never came back to apologised). Then the man came back and barged passed us and put his suitcase in the room and disappeared again! The Crystal Rep helped us move to the other room …..thank goodness for her - she said she would feedback to the hotel manager and the next day he apologised for the inconvenience and gave us a voucher for tea and cake …..we would have preferred the receptionist to apologise for entering the room twice and making out it was our fault that we were in the wrong room!! The room was very basic but clean and comfortable. …..there was a kettle as described but not tea, coffee, milk or sugar as described in a review we read. We didn’t steep properly as you can hear everything going on in the other rooms….we were woken up at 6am every morning to what can only be described as someone tap dancing in the room above. The hotel was filled with at least 95% of families that were on the Santa Package so a very noisy place, and our evening meals were not relaxing at all as the children were constantly running around in the restaurant and climbing over the furniture….it was manic. The food was good but not much of a selection - the Chefs in the kitchen were wonderful and served us with hot vegetarian meals. The breakfast selection was good but if you like warm portage and warm pancakes you will be disappointed as hot food was always luke warm ….as the the soup in the evenings and the water in the earn was never boiling.

La ricezione dell'hotel è molto amichevole, le strutture ambientali sono molto buone, vicino alla strada, molto conveniente. È possibile che ci sia un autobus vicino all'hotel per il villaggio di Santa Claus. È molto conveniente. La colazione dell'hotel è molto ricco, molto raccomandato

Struttura eccellente! Per famiglie la soluzione ideale. Ampio appartamento con doppie camere da letto e doppio servizio, cucina, sauna interna all’appartamento. Pulizia perfetta, e presenza di molti comfort. Ricca colazione mattutina. Numerosissime le attività sportive e ricreative che si possono sfruttare durante il soggiorno, tra queste una grandissima area bimbi, piscina e spa, bowling, arrampicata, e molto altro. La struttura non è in centro, si consiglia di valutare bene l’organizzazione degli spostamenti logistici.

Santasport Hotel è un resort integrato con alloggio, trekking, sci, bicicletta, snowboard e molte altre attività invernali, che hanno traccia di tutte le attività e ha avuto un piacevole viaggio per esplorare le foreste in inverno. L'hotel dispone di una bowling, piscina e sauna. Inoltre ha un caffè Il check-in e l'uscita sono stati un brindisi e il personale è amichevole e utile. Tutti gli ospiti hanno bisogno e non si sbagliano mai a impressionare. La camera era ragionevole e hanno anche un cabinetto di asciugatura. Il letto è comodo e ho dormito bene. Il colazione era buona con la qualità del soia. Tornerò all'hotel Santasport se vengo per le mie vacanze invernali a Rovaniemi.

Check in was quick loved my room. Tub is awesome the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great lots of options. The temperature in room was a bit cold. I spoke with front desk she said there was extra heaters. I declined it was just odd to me that room had no operating heat.

We are hear in winter, the town ship beautiful. We entered our room, 2 single narrow beds (all rooms have single beds) with very small pillows, we had to order another two. Good size rooms with corner lounge. Only 4 non English TV channels although we scoured Indiana Jones on TV in English. Please note : rooms are not cleaned on sundays, even if you put a room hanger outside to clean, they just ignore it, you must ask reception as a special request but they do not tell you this. The morning breakfast starts at am & is minimal at best. their extended hotel across the road starts at 7 am & is much better. A lovely cloths warmer/dryer. A lovely Sauna in the bathroom. The dinner was very nice & large. The staff very friendly

We were lucky enough to win a week in the Holiday Club in a draw from Inghams Holidays! My lady gave way to a silver-tongued salesperson at an event and gave her email address never believing it would ever be her that wins. Then she nearly deleted the notification email as it was probably a scam. And so we were off to lands well north of the Arctic Circle in the middle of January. Neither of us were skiers so we weren’t sure what to expect. And we are both in our mid-70s so we weren’t going to take many risks. It's a three-hour coach trip from Kittila Airport to Saariselka including a 20-minute rest stop. The first stop in Saariselka was to get issued with heavy overalls, snow boots and mittens which are vital for temperatures of around -25c to -30c which was what we experienced. The hotel is in the centre of town and most places are walkable. Temperatures indoors were pleasant, not hot, but to go outside needed around 20 minutes to put on the kit to go outside. While we were there the sun rose about 11 am and set around 2.30 pm but there was another hour or two of reasonable light. The rooms were basic with twin beds easily pushed together and the continental individual duvets. Bathroom was fine. Lighting in the room was OK but could have been brighter. There’s a TV but the only English programmes were subtitled. The rooms aren’t serviced during the stay but we asked the rep and he organised the cleaners to change towels and empty bins mid-week. We had half-board so breakfast and dinner were buffet service and the food was filling and plentiful. My lady is vegetarian and the rep told the kitchen and they provided a fresh-cooked vegetarian dish for every dinner just for her which was easily added to with the salads and vegetables on the buffet. Dinner was usually soup with two main meat or fish courses plus plentiful bread, vegetables and salads. There was usually just one choice of sweet plus endless hot drinks and an adjacent bar. During the week we were there large numbers of French came and went plus some oriental parties. A couple of times we encountered a rather full house but the turnover of tables is quick and the food doesn’t seem to run out. There is a swimming pool which seems to be for play rather than swimming plus a sauna and a spa but we didn’t try them. There’s no gym. Inghams offered excursions such as husky driving, reindeer farm visits, skiddoos plus there is a regular public bus service to the ski lifts. We found it delightful to walk the signed trails in the hills – a walking pole is useful. The silence in the woods is wonderful. Everyone wants to see the Northern Lights but that is entirely by luck. During our week there were plenty of sightings but the quality was not good. Enough to show you have seen them but not enough to be thrilled. Plenty of green but no reds or blues. I never knew that the vague wisps of white cloud can be seen as green by taking a picture! Amazing. One lesson we learned, don

In generale: E'senza dubbio la migliore casa di Saariselkä. La posizione geografica è quasi al punto più alto Il primo giorno in cui restiamo, abbiamo visto un po'di luce inoltrabile 😭🥺 E è davvero ovvio!!!! L'hotel non ha troppa luce Potete fare una foto fotosensibile chiara del genere di faccia umana Il nostro modello di camera è una piccola casa di legno nel centro dell'edificio. Si consiglia fortemente di prenotare questo tipo di camera Il design del palazzo centrale è davvero molto confortevole Ci sono anche spazio extra per lasciare i bagagli non è troppo. Una grande finestra di terra può facilmente vedere l'intera scena della neve Anche il balcone può uscire E' anche disponibile un gioco di neve in plastica fuori dalla porta della stanza Tutti hanno sorriso dall'inizio del check-in sul recepimento L'atteggiamento del servizio è super buono! Dopo due notti abbiamo deciso di prenotare un'altra notte. Questa volta vivevo nella casa di prigione. Anche se è sorprendente! Ma consiglierei una casa di legno. E poi!Devi sperimentare la loro sauna. Il prezzo super grande super comodo è anche ragionevole Trasporti: Penso che se Saariselkä fosse ancora più comodo da auto-conduzione, anche se lo sci non è lontano dall'intera città e dall'intero hotel, guidare renderebbe molto conveniente per il viaggio. Non sarà difficile guidare sulla strada di salita, vedrò un ottimo paesaggio, in generale molto conveniente. Colazione: abbastanza peso, pesce di pesce e tutti i tipi di pesci da mangiare in salsa, e bellezze insieme, in generale, si sente molto bene Cenare: l'hotel ha una cena allo stesso posto la sera. La persona pensa che sia valsa la pena provare. Oltre a essere molto atmosfera, il pranzo è anche molto delizioso!Si consiglia di mangiare molto al sole, tutto è molto bello!

A truly unique experience in northern Lapland! From booking to check-out, the process was smooth and straightforward. Atte, Alexa, and team were responsive, organized, warm, and gracious hosts, and both the basecamp and mobile cabin were spotless and well-outfitted as all prior reviews shared. Note that snow suits and boots are provided for those in need at the basecamp, along with WCs, showers, towels, and space to store any snacks/drinks you might wish to bring with you. While we unfortunately didn't have time to take advantage of any of the activities, we did reserve spaces in the grill hut for a delicious meal and terrific conversation (I'd note that for those interested in ice fishing, Atte is a skilled guide). The mobile cabins themselves were wholly original, compact yet comfortable rooms on runners. They are pulled out on the ice at 8 pm and retrieved at 8 am, giving you many quiet and peaceful hours on the lake with the lights of homes and Inari town in the distance. Our evening was mostly overcast so we saw only one hint of aurora, but one can imagine the show when the sky is clear. We wrapped our visit with a delicious homecooked breakfast back at basecamp and engaging conversation with our hosts and other guests. For those looking for an igloo-style lodging experience in a more intimate, personalized, and adventurous setting, this fills the bill - and more. Sincere thanks to Atte, Alexa, and team for sharing their knowledge, care, and hospitality with us!
