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!

Et udmærket hotel at bo på, når man er på gennemrejse.
Restauranten er ok, morgenmaden dog lidt kedelig

Eldre hotell, vedlikeholdt til en viss grad.
Beliggende ved Ivalo elven, som sakte flyter forbi. Ved vårt opphold var ikke sauna tilgjengelig, det trekker ned på totalen. En spiste abbor filet som fikk 5 av 6. En spiste reinsdyr ragu med pasta, 6 av 6.

Saunassa ja allas alueella oli puhua roskaa. Ilmeisesti kengissä kulkeutunut.
Huoneessa ei toiminut telkkari, huomasin sen vasta illalla enkä enää viitsinyt vaivata henkilökuntaa.
Muuten huone oli ihana ja henkilökunta super kivaa.
