Visiting Lapland
We were visiting Saariselka for a Wedding and chose to stay at Star Arctic. The location of the hotel gives amazing views and is situated at the top of the ski slope, allowing you to ski, toboggan or take the ski lift down to the town. Walking down/up however takes around 35 mins. We felt the hotel could have provided a shuttle bus service into the town as the hotel only has one restaurant with quite a restricted menu. There is only one other restaurant close to the hotel (2 minutes walk) however this closes at 5pm with the Ski slope and not an option for dinner. The room was a good size, well presented and clean. There were 2 days however where towels were not changed and house keeping did not make up the room. The stairs that take you up to the bedroom are extremely steep and narrow, which may make it inaccessible for older people or dangerous for children. The buffet breakfast provided was nice but again quite limited in terms of choice. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The excursion we did was the Aurora Snowmobile Hunting, which was really great and would definitely recommended.

We loved the hotel, we stayed in an aurora cabin, it was nice, cute, and it was lovely over looking the snow from bed, the stars were amazing. I’m not sure if you’d get to see the northern lights from there, definitely not as well as in a trip as there’s a bit of light pollution from cars and you get a reflection from the neighbours cabin if their light is on. But the hotel was lovely and a great location, you’re at the top of the ski lift, so you can sledge into town or to the ski resort to hire skis and a lift pass. We had a great stay thankyou

Beautiful Views
Thoroughly enjoyed my two-night stay in one of the aurora cabins, which are small, but perfect for one or two people. The bed is situated directly under the heated glass ceiling, and the cabin itself stayed nice and warm. The bathroom floors are even heated! The staff at the main building are helpful and accommodating, and the activity desk easily booked both airport transit and a tour for me (both at a fee). The included breakfast is pretty extensive, and the top of Saariselka Ski & Sport trails are only a short walk away. The only items that I would note is that use of the sauna will cost extra, and that this hotel - to its benefit for the views - is located beyond the rest of the shops and restaurants in Saariselka, so you'll have to take a taxi or other transport to get there. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I fully recommend this hotel.

Great Location for Northern Lights viewing
We stayed 1 night in an Aurora cabin during January. Unfortunatly we did not see the Northern Lights, as the weather was too cloudy, but we still enjoyed our glass roof cabin experience. The Aurora Cabins were very modern inside, and the glass roof was heated, for clear viewing of the sky. These cabins are facing the North, to maximise your chances of seeing the lights. The Star Artic Hotel resort is located on the top of a big hill, which offers really good views over Sarriselkä and Inari. The best viewing point for the Northern Lights (i.e. the Triangulation Tower) is only 300m away from the hotel. We ate dinner at the Star Artic restaurant, which was fine dining & delicious, but a little more pricy than in-town options. Staff were very friendly. Buffet breakfast was included, which offered a good range of options. Checkout was at 12noon which was great. A good tip is to ask reception staff to book you a cab for the trip back into town 24hrs in advance, as you will get a cheaper fare, i.e. 10 euros instead of 20 euros.

The location was great. The view down to the village and the feel of having your own cabin in the snow was wonderful.

Amazing stay, great location, friendly staff, fun activities. It would be useful if the staff at reception gave more guidance or had a little more info/specific details on what you can do at the property, as well as the neighbouring ski/toboggan run (prices, opening times, routes etc.)
