Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nicely equipped but incredibly noisy, lacking sound insulation which made it hard to get a good night's sleep. On the positive side, the hotel is well-designed, although the room was a bit tight with limited space for four adults.
Staying in a room towards the sky was a unique experience, although limited lights and noise from neighboring suites were noticeable. The hotel's location was fantastic for enjoying Lapland's beauty but could be too close to activites like snowmobile parking. Service was accommodating for booking tours but somewhat unorganized. The dining options were delicious and showcased local food. Overall, a great location with some noise and lighting issues in the rooms.
The hotel is situated on a hilltop with stunning views of the mountain. The rooms are comfortable and relaxing, offering a pleasant experience overall. It might be a bit pricey, especially if sleeping on a pull-out sofa, but the convenience of booking activities directly from the hotel adds value to the stay.
Although the hotel was a bit pricey given that we had to sleep on a pull-out sofa, the rooms were immaculately clean and quite warm. However, there were some finer details lacking in the room setup.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, modern, and had large floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a warm ambiance. However, there were not enough lights, and some facilities were lacking as advertised. The service was overall lovely and helpful, making me feel like I was with old friends. The location was beautiful, cozy, and bright, with the convenience of booking activities directly from the hotel. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not meet my expectations, and the facilities were not up to the standard I anticipated.
The hotel offers a beautifully immaculate, spacious, and comfortable stay amidst some noise issues. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, providing excellent service. The location, though offering a wonderful view, can be a bit hard to find. Dining options are tasty but slightly limited. Overall, a mixed experience with great comfort and service but some noise disruptions.
