Wilderness Hotel Juutua

Nel ristorante sarebbe auspicabile che il personale conoscesse almeno un po' il finlandese, dato che siamo in Finlandia. Il personale era straordinariamente cordiale e il ristorante era di alta qualità. La stanza era nuova, pulita, piccola e la ventilazione era pessima (calda), ho dovuto aprire la finestra. Sarebbe utile una sorta di livella per la testata del letto

Abbiamo alloggiato nell'edificio del River Hotel (Koskihotelli) accanto all'edificio principale. Avevamo una vista diretta sulle rapide, una sauna elettrica, un piccolo frigorifero, aria condizionata regolabile autonomamente e una terrazza. La colazione a buffet era buona con alcune specialità locali ma a volte dovevamo aspettare quando le ciotole erano vuote. Il ristorante per la cena Aanaar è eccellente, uno dei migliori in Finlandia, ma è necessaria la prenotazione del tavolo. Anche la vista sulle rapide è bellissima dal ristorante. La posizione dell'hotel è la migliore di Inari. Ci sono alberi e rapide intorno all'hotel, ma è solo una breve distanza a piedi dalle attrazioni (Museo Sámi Siida, Centro Culturale Sámi Sajos, Inari Lake Cruises) e servizi (ristoranti, negozi). I sentieri escursionistici partono dal cortile dell'hotel. Il Juutua Circle Trail è facile da percorrere e puoi vedere sia il ponte sospeso che le rapide estremamente belle di Jäniskoski. Se sei interessato a un'escursione più impegnativa, scegli un sentiero da Jäniskoski a Otsamo Fell. È il miglior punto panoramico vicino al centro di Inari. Ci vogliono 6-8 ore per camminare dall'hotel a Otsamo Fell e ritorno. Ho soggiornato anche in altri hotel a Inari ma il Tradition Hotel Kultahovi è il mio hotel preferito a Inari. Prenota una camera nell'edificio del River Hotel (Koskihotelli) se le camere sono disponibili lì. Quindi ottieni una stanza migliore e una vista meravigliosa è garantita.

Everything was nice but there wasnt warm water in the shower. Had to wait till midnight to get warm water😒 Food at the restaurant was world class.👌

Very nice hotel, great location woth lake views, amazing staff and delicious breakfast. One thing to criticise is the size of the room; it’s very small. I highly recommend the hotel in Inari to anyone looking for a clean, comfy stay in Lapland

This is the second hotel for the Wilderness chain of hotels in Inari, taken over a couple of years ago. It's smaller than the other hotel (Wilderness Inari) but it has had a lot of investment particularly in the restaurant and the bar. The restaurant and the food wouldn't be out of place in a city centre and the offerings are of a high standard. Not everything will be to your taste but all the dishes are beautifully created and the service is excellent. The wine choice is limited but we settled on the local Finnish blueberry wine which was robust enough to compliment the reindeer steak in a red wine sauce. Our package had full board and the food is plentiful and delicious. You could describe the hotel as a restaurant with some rooms. The backdrop to the bar and the restaurant is a winter scene overlooking the wide expanse of the river which flows into Lake Inari. It is a beautiful setting. As regards the accommodation the new owners appear to have opted for a makeover rather than refurbishment as there is a limit the changes they might make with the layout they have inherited with it's jumble of rooms and connecting sections. Accomodation is better in the neighbouring Wilderness Hotel but you wouldn't have access to their excellent restaurant. The Wilderness Juutua also scores with its proximity to the centre of Inari and it's (frozen) lake which meant a number of guests were able to walk out on the lake in the evening to see the aurora. If accommodation is one of your criteria go to the other hotel but you'd miss out on the location and the restaurant. The activities available are the same as the other hotels so not worth commenting other than they are 'must do' including the snowmobiles and snowshoeing. Finally the staff are really helpful and cope with an almost full hotel with charm and friendliness over an intense winter season. They really are the stars along with the food.

Saying that this hotel is great is an euphemism. Everything was perfect. The employees are really nice and thoughtful. Although we arrived at 1 am, they greet us with a nice take away plate of smoked fish and some sandwiches. The rooms are nice and peaceful, and the hotel is so beautiful. Everything is well organised, all of your activities will be scheduled by the hotel and printed out for you. And what about the food ! The breakfast is awesome ! One of the best buffet we ever had, considering the quality and the diversity. Plus, it was different from one day to another ! And the 3 course dinner was so good, so well plated and the waiters were so nice and friendly ! It's a place where you feel so good, a peaceful Hotel to rest after a good day enjoying the the activities and the surroundings. I never felt so bad for leaving a place !
