Close to the small but modern Ivalo airport. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and bus station from where you can take a bus to Saariselka ski resort, which cost about 10 euros. The hotel is situated by a fabulous river and nature. You can book some amazing excursions from the hotel's ClubNord department. Extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful hotel
This hotel is fantastic! I stayed here for three nights and the staff was wonderful! Diana, Terhi and the server in the restaurant were unbelievably helpful. They assisted me arranging a very special birthday celebration and showed me where to go hiking and how to reach there by bus. They all went beyond the call of duty. Besides that, the hotel is in a good location, bus is easily accessible. Breakfast was wonderful and prices are quite reasonable for rooms. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you for making my stay so enjoyable!

It’s fine for a night or two...
Receptionist was super friendly, check in was quick and efficient. The room was nice and had everything I needed plus a kettle. It had been recently refurbished so it looked really good. Restaurant: meh... I ordered the reindeer which was overcooked and the potatoes it came with were inedible. When I complained one waiter tried to find excuses, then another waiter resolved the situation. My dinner in that state should never have been served in the first place though. If you need to catch an early flight from Ivalo it’s worth bearing in mind that hot breakfast isn’t served until 07.00 but you can get some fruit and juices/ coffee.

Hotel Ivalo
The highlight of our stay was the attitude of the staff. They were very friendly and helpful. We were late for breakfast the first morning and the staff were clearing away the buffet but stopped when we asked if we were too late to grab something. We had what we wanted, which was absolutely delicious and they carried on clearing 15 minutes later. The hotel is very warm and is in the right area for aurora watching. My only suggestion to improve the hotel is that some rooms appear to need updating.

Warm and comfortable
A lovely uced over river view room! A nice feeling to this hotel. A bit far out of town but bus stop out front. An old hotel and needs a bit of tlc but warm and welcoming. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was good for an overnight for us. Food in restaurant for evening meal was great. Other guests seemed to be really enjoying the winter activities offered.

The hotel is a basic motel/lodge style but was clean and very cosy with underfloor heating making the shower room super warm! Tea and coffee making facilities are provided in the room. The fridge was useful to store a few things from the local K supermarket where we stocked up on fruit and salad for our supper after our activities during the day. We also had a coffee and cake at the Bistro in this supermarket which is only a few minutes walk away from the hotel with another supermarket further on (both within easy walking distance) which also has a café/restaurant. We had the buffet breakfast everyday which included as much tea, coffee, juice as you wanted along with a selection of cold cuts, cheese, bread, toast, rolls, fruit, yoghurt, cereal as well as hot buffet of bacon, egg and sausage. Plenty to keep us going. All the dining areas were spotlessly clean, including cutlery, the buffet was replenished discreetly and often by staff and tables cleared away. When we were there the hotel was quite full with a French tour group so we joined them for the day excursions organised by the on-site Club Nord. This company, and staff, was also excellent with special mention of Sirkku (with whom I was communicating by email almost daily prior to departure!) and Clement the guide for the Reindeer Farm and Sami Museum visit (a great day excursion we thoroughly recommend). Thank you to Sirkku for suggesting the itinerary for us and sorting out some dietary issues, and special thanks
