Great hotel.
We stayed here two separate nights, on our way up to and back from Northern Finland. The staff is exceptionally helpful. We had a very early arrival one day, and they were nice enough to have our room ready for us at 10:00. A.m.! Of course, they cannot guarantee this for everyone. The rooms are small by American standards, Pat, if you don't have to unpack a huge amount of luggage, we had plenty of room for two adults with two big suitcases and two carry-ons. If you are in the main building in an odd-numbered room, you will be facing the supermarket across the street, which keeps its lights on until fairly late at night. It didn't bother us, and we slept like locks. But if you need an absolutely dark room, try to get a room that is even numbered in the main building, or in the second building that is just to the north of the main building. Breakfast and lunch buffets were both quite good. We saw lots of locals there. Not the best meals we had in Finland, but we did enjoy them. Behind the second building, which is to the north of the main building, is the river. There is a gravel Trail that leads down to a small Pier. This is a gorgeous spot for photos. It's also pretty dark at night, so you might catch the Northern lights there. Finally, although the hotel is at the Northern end of town, it is across the street from one grocery store and a 5-minute walk from another. You are right on the main drag, and can walk to a few restaurants and shops.

The receptionist was extremely helpful and kind. The room was specious, comfortable and had its own sauna which unfortunately didn't work. The receptionist arranged a refund immediately for the extra we paid for it. We ate at the hotel restaurant, the food was excellent and reasonably priced.

Absolute gem! We took the room with a sauna and loved it. The staff were very helpful and lovely. Everyone we spoke with friendly and helpful from the welcome to the goodbye. We used the laundry which was easy and very well priced. Lovely area in the summer, I hope to visit in the winter soon 😁... Big shout out to the young waitress (and guide in the winter) who spoke with us about our plans and winters in Ivalo - sorry I didn't get your name.

We stayed here overnight before a flight home. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, restaurant and bar were fabulous! Very walkable to shops and other restaurants. Only not great thing was we had to pull/carry our luggage in the snow across two streets to our building. In case this might be an issue for you just be aware when booking.

Wonderful experience!
We really enjoyed this hotel- highly recommend getting a room with your own sauna!! It was lovely to spend time outside in the cold and come back to a warm sauna experience. Room was spacious, great balcony and very comfortable! The staff was always helpful and friendly and the restaurant onsite was really good and convenient for sure! The hotel also had tours available (our guide Sonya was great!) and that was super convenient as well.

This is an excellent place to stay as a couple or solo traveler. The staff are incredibly helpful and responsive. The guides are amazing. I really enjoyed the aurora hunt by car. The food at the restaurant was delicious. My room with the private sauna was perfect. There is no one that I saw to help with the luggage. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you have kids. It would be sort of boring. But I loved it
