Hoteles con Bares en Laponia, Finlandia

En la montaña ～ ¡Es más conveniente conducir! Nada, muy tranquilo ～ Deja la aldea de Santa Claus y conduzca más de media hora. Entra en el bosque del hotel. Hay una belleza solitario!!También es misterioso... ¡El hotel tiene un pequeño salón! Lamentablemente, esta vez no vimos la luz.

Tomé el tren RV desde Helsinki, una experiencia relajante y una forma estupenda de disfrutar del paisaje. Llegué a Rovaniemi a las 21:20 y desde allí un corto trayecto en taxi me llevó al hotel. Además, gracias a la recepción 24 horas, el registro fue muy sencillo. La habitación doble 410 estaba bien equipada, limpia y las camas eran cómodas; la caja fuerte era fácil de configurar y usar. Agradecí la cadena de seguridad en la puerta para mayor tranquilidad y un sueño reparador. La ubicación céntrica del Hotel Santas era excelente, con el centro comercial peatonal, tiendas, restaurantes y bares a la vuelta de la esquina. Había taxis disponibles en la puerta y el autobús de Santa/aeropuerto estaba a pocos pasos. Eso sí, conviene estar atento a los horarios del Santa Express, ya que no tiene mucha frecuencia. ¡El desayuno buffet tenía opciones para todos los gustos! El personal de recepción fue muy amable y atento, y la decoración navideña del hotel me llenó de alegría. 😊 Hay muchas atracciones, así que asegúrate de tener suficiente tiempo para disfrutar de todo. Sin duda, volveré a alojarme aquí la próxima vez que viaje a Rovaniemi. Sha, Sídney, Australia. 🇦🇺

I stayed at Apukka Resort and it was truly unforgettable. Everything was perfect, from the spotless cleanliness to the peaceful location near the airport. The service was exceptional; they even picked us up by car from the reception and drove us directly to our room, which made everything feel so warm and personal despite the -30°C weather. Sipping hot chocolate in the freezing Arctic air felt surreal, and our private sauna session was incredibly relaxing, the perfect way to end a snowy day. But the most magical moment? Watching the Northern Lights dance right in front of our room. So vivid, so clear, so unreal. It was honestly one of the best experiences of our lives. A dream I will never forget.

We stayed at Pyhalinna and overall found the apartment itself to be decent. The facilities inside the unit were quite complete and convenient. However, the cleanliness was disappointing — the bed sheets were not clean when we arrived. The funny (and slightly frustrating) part was that after we reported it, someone came to do a light cleaning of the room (even though we were previously told mid-stay cleaning required an extra fee), but the sheets still weren’t changed. The property is ski-in/ski-out and located next to the “family slope,” but there are many areas that really need improvement. First of all, for beginners without a car, it takes around 30 minutes to walk down to the base area to rent equipment(experienced can use the shop on the mountain), and the path is quite unsafe. Honestly, this alone almost made me give a one-star review. Secondly, the so-called family slope wasn’t fully open, and the upper section was surprisingly steep — definitely not what we expected for a family-friendly run. Returning the rental equipment was also inconvenient; you must ski all the way to the bottom because the shop on the mountain doesn’t accept returns. After returning our equipment, we were very lucky that the ski patrol officer Markus kindly offered to take us back up the hotel. We really appreciated his help — without him, it would have been another long and difficult walk. There are simply many practical issues that should be improved. I truly hope the resort can learn from more established ski destinations to create a safer and more beginner-friendly experience. The positive interactions with the staff were the main reason we didn’t give this place a one-star rating — they truly made a difference despite the other issues. Really thank you, Coach Joni, Peter, Markus, Joonathan and the other staff I didn’t get your name.

La Villa de las Luz del Norte de Saariselkä es un resorte absolutamente hermoso con una atmósfera que realmente vive hasta su nombre. Durante nuestra estancia, tuvimos suerte de ver las Luz del Norte cada día y casi cada noche, sin necesidad de ir afuera para cazar aurora en absoluto. En algunas noches, la aurora era increíblemente fuerte, con colores verdes y incluso rojos vivos claramente visibles. Una de las experiencias más inolvidables fue poder dormir cómodamente en la cama y ver las Luz del Norte a través del techo de vidrio, justo desde el cuarto. El personal es amable, bienvenido y siempre feliz de ayudar, con sonrisas cálidas que hacen sentir que los huéspedes se sienten bien cuidados. La habitación está cómoda y bien diseñada, con suelos calentados, muy agradable en condiciones inviernos extremas. La habitación se encuentra en una zona de 3 estrellas, donde se encuentran 2 habitaciones. El baño está totalmente equipado, pero no se ofrecen tobillos y rasgos, lo que sería una buena mejora para un resort de este nivel. En general, el Village Northern Lights ofrece una experiencia extraordinaria y una vez en una vida. Recomendado muy a cualquiera que sueña con experimentar las Luz del Norte de la manera más cómoda e inolvidable.

Hotel Pueblo Vacacional de Papá Noel: Una Estancia Mágica en el Corazón de Laponia Recientemente tuve el placer de alojarme en el Pueblo Vacacional de Papá Noel en Rovaniemi, ¡y fue simplemente mágico! Desde nuestra llegada, nos recibieron con una cálida hospitalidad y un ambiente festivo que realmente capturó el espíritu navideño. El alojamiento era acogedor, estaba bien cuidado y tenía un diseño cuidado. Nuestra cabaña era espaciosa y contaba con sauna privada, ideal para relajarse después de un día frío al aire libre. La habitación estaba bien equipada con comodidades modernas, manteniendo al mismo tiempo un encantador ambiente rústico. La ubicación es inmejorable, en pleno Pueblo de Papá Noel. Fue increíblemente conveniente visitar la oficina de Papá Noel, cruzar el Círculo Polar Ártico y disfrutar de las diversas actividades invernales, como paseos en trineo tirado por huskies y paseos en renos. Además, los impresionantes paisajes nevados crearon momentos inolvidables. El desayuno buffet ofrecía una gran selección de platos fríos y calientes, incluyendo opciones tradicionales finlandesas. Los restaurantes del hotel también ofrecían deliciosas comidas, con un ambiente acogedor perfecto para relajarse después de un día de aventuras. El personal fue amable y atento, siempre asegurándose de que los huéspedes tuvieran la mejor experiencia posible. Ya sea organizando actividades o dando recomendaciones, su servicio fue de primera.

Wilderness Hotel Juutua is a charming and peaceful hotel located just outside the town center of Inari, right next to Lake Inari. The lakeside location is truly beautiful, offering stunning natural views and a calm atmosphere that feels very special, especially in winter. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, with warm smiles that make guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. The room is warm and comfortable, which is important in the cold Lapland climate. However, the room feels quite small for two people, especially when traveling with luggage. Moving around and storing suitcases can be a bit inconvenient. Bathroom amenities are mostly sufficient, but toothbrushes and razors are not provided, which would be expected at this level of hotel. Other amenities are well prepared. Breakfast quality is good, but unfortunately we could not fully enjoy it because it closes too early at 10:00 AM, which may not be ideal for guests who prefer a relaxed morning or late start. Overall, Wilderness Hotel Juutua offers a beautiful lakeside setting, warm hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere. Despite some minor drawbacks such as room size and limited bathroom amenities, it is still a very pleasant stay and a great choice for travelers looking to experience the natural beauty of Inari.

Bad management during check in. I book an Apartment for 2 nights for this stay but I got the room for 1 night each. Staff told me I have to change room tomorrow and check out at 12PM. So that mean first night I stay and tomorrow check out 12PM and wait for a new room. Also, the apartment is very far from reception. Luckily, I have a car. Imagine if I don't have a car, I have to carry big luggage from the apartment to reception to check out and wait for new room later and move my luggage to new room again, how was it? Moreover, when I check out at 12PM staff told me the room will ready for check in around 2 hours. Then came back to check in again for second at 3PM another staff told me the room is not ready yet and policy for the Apartment check in time is 6PM. ***!!! I said I need the room now because this is unacceptable. Then staff told me the room is ready and give me the key card. So, for this situation I waste the time for half day to pack my luggage, move a lot of luggage to my car with a lot of snow, check out, go to reception for check out, wait the new room, wait, wait, wait, and come back to check in and got very bad answer that she told the room is not ready, and go to check in again, move my luggage to new apartment with a lot of snow, and take a rest. VERY BAD!!!!!

En general, fue un buen hotel con buen servicio. El desayuno era bastante decente comparado con el típico desayuno europeo. Los platos principales incluidos en la reserva tampoco estaban mal: pedimos risotto de vieiras y solomillo de ternera. Sin embargo, la cama era muy blanda, no apta para quienes prefieren colchones firmes. Fue una lástima, ya que no pudimos ver ninguna aurora debido al cielo nublado, así que básicamente nos limitamos a observar las nubes en lugar del amanecer, las estrellas o la aurora. No estoy seguro de si en la zona se podían ver auroras, ya que aún había bastante luz por la noche...

It was an experience out of the world during our stay here. We arrived early wanting to drop our bags but they allowed us to check in early anyway as our room was ready. The cabin itself was clean and spacious enough for 2 people. The bathroom floor was heated which was nice. We got to even see the northern lights from our bed even though it only lasted for less than a minute. One thing to note is cabins are located quite near to one another and with the glass panels, you don't get total privacy. Make sure to request for a cabin off the stretch of main road to have more privacy. We had breakfast and dinner here. Options were quite limited but understandable given the location. All dishes were labelled clearly, and we had no issues as vegetarians. We even saw some neighbourhood squirrels enjoying their breakfast. The place is very modern and managed commercially as a business, with everything extra requiring extra charges (you may even pay for staff to pick up your bags from your cabin to the main reception, which is a 2-5 min walk affair). Despite this, we think it's still worth trying out for a night to have something that's different.
