Room with a Winter Wonderland view
Excellent location not only because the trails start meters from your door, but also because close by there’s an agency that offers excellent snowmobile and husky dog sledding so this is convenient. Limited number of rooms means not as busy as large hotels. Perfect for couples and solo travellers as facilities well kept, breakfast covers what you need to hit the trails and wifi was good.

Kaikki sujui hienosti. Kysymällä onnistui myös myöhäinen uloskirjautuminen.

Palvelu osattiin
Rec vastaanotto kymppi.
Lappi-illallinen liki kymppi, monipuolinen ja paikallisuus erinom esillä, poronkäristystä voisi kokki hiukan viilata perinteiseksi.
Tarjoilupalvelu ja koko palvelukokonaisuus erinomaista.
Siisteys kymppi, tätä arvostan "isosti"!!!
Uusittu sauna kympoi!!

Gemütliche Unterkunft
Hotel ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber trotzdem gemütlich. Frühstück war vielfältig. Super Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die umliegenden Nationalparks. Sehr schnelle Internetleitung ermöglicht das mobile arbeiten.
