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.

The location on the hilltop offers a beautiful setting, perfect for aurora hunting and enjoying morning sunrise views. It's a bit far from Saariserka city, but the hillside location outside the town enhances the chances of seeing the lights.

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.
