Lapland Hotels Ylläskaltio

Sono andato ad Äkäslompolo per correre la Nuts Ylläs Pallas 37km e ho scelto l'hotel per la sua vicinanza alla linea di partenza. L'hotel ha bisogno di qualche ristrutturazione, ma nonostante le recensioni negative è stato nel complesso meglio di quanto mi aspettassi. Il personale è stato super disponibile e cordiale, il letto era estremamente comodo (un must prima e dopo una gara), la sauna privata era fantastica e ciliegina sulla torta, la colazione era assolutamente deliziosa e con un'ampia scelta!

Family room; lots of selection at buffet breakfast and dinner. Gift shop, bar, lobby. Ski Bus comes right to door. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to supermarket. Sauna in each room. A Great place to stay if you're skiing at Yllas North or South.

Still at the Snow Princess on a 4 night stay. Surprisingly decent. Yes rooms are dated, stairs very steep. Looking back on previous reviews these points have been mentioned numerous times and mgt have said hope to get a renovation soon, 10 yrs down the line looks like it's still considering it. Saying the it was clean, room for 5 was small, our room was a riot with clothes everywhere. Would b good if there was somewhere you vould hang your snow suits on properly. Shower wasn't the best, luke warm. Downstairs reception area was lovely, rustic and upstairs dining area lovely too, very large room with floor to ceiling with windows and found it very cold to eat in. High ceiling won't help so wrap up when going in there. Food decent I thought, was expect it worse, food was warm, soups lovely. Food was fine abit repetitive but warm wholesome so you left full. Kids choice poor though, chips n nuggets. Sledging outside the hotel isn't great, get yourself on the ski bus timetable at reception get yourself to the northside of the fell, sledging is fab and next to the is the ski slopes. Outside the hotel turn left walk down t junction turn left then you'll see the small shopping centre, large reindeer then further another shopping mall go outside there you can find the lake along with the swing. Ensure you stay inside the poles on the lake to walk safely. So tiring with all the gear on but worth it, so it's a heavy day. Don't over pack we ended up wearing most of our clothes most days as there clean. Brought 2 cases what a waste as only changing undies etc.
