Ski-Inn PyhäLinna

first time in this area and WOW, apartment was great, very warm and well equipped kitchen, i feel we could have done a roast if we had wanted, very clean and tidy, stairs a little steep, ours was right on the edge of the family / starter slope, so perfect. all the locals made use friendly, especially at the bingo. skiing, a mixture of blue, red and black slopes. lots of good lifts. what i liked was that if you lost your friends, just wait at the top, all the lift end up there. will i return. definitely.

Ski-Inn Pyhälinna apartments have the best possible location. I stayed three nights in Pyhälinna 33 Studio apartment. Both the ski slope (now closed because of summertime of course) and Pyhä Disc Golf Park were situated just under my window. Trails to Pyhä-Luosto National Park start between Pyhälinna apartment buildings A and C. Some good restaurants are located next to Pyhälinna. Pyhä-Luosto Visitor Center Naava and a grocery store are situated one kilometer from these apartments. A bus stop (buses to/from Luosto, Kemijärvi and Rovaniemi) is situated almost next to Pyhälinna. There isn't any reception desk in Pyhälinna. Normally some services are available in a nearby hotel (a gym, saunas) but it was closed at the moment. There is a number lock in every apartment and I got the code via SMS in the morning of the arrival day. Check-in time is quite late, at 6 pm. However, I asked the customer service by phone (after I had got the code) if I could go in earlier and I got a permission to go in as early as 11 am without any extra cost. If I had booked early check-in earlier, the price would have been as much as one extra night. Customer service was extremely kind and quick as I contacted them by phone and by e-mail. Very good performance, much better than usual customer service! When I arrived next to the apartment building I was wondering if it is closed. There were ropes in front of all corridors. I found out that they are because of reindeer. The ropes prevent reindeer coming in the corridor. These new apartments are privately owned but they are booked to tourists through a company. Bed linen, towels and final cleaning are included in the price but you have to wash dishes and take the trash (including bottles) yourself. I had a very modern and stylish corner apartment with a bathroom, an own electric sauna, a kitchenette including tableware and a dishwasher, a fireplace with firewood and an electric drying cabinet for wet clothes. A shared washing machine was situated in a separate building as well as a ski maintenance area. An own locked ski locker was located in the corridor but I didn't need it now because it is a summer. Actually there was heatwave outside and the apartment was quite hot but tolerable. I have nothing to complain. I could come here again.

Everything we needed and more. We’ve just spent a week staying here to snowboard and ski. It’s true ski in ski out. The accommodation is perfect - we had 2 x apartments for our family of 2 x adults, 1 x 14 and 1 x 17 year old. Beautifully clean with excellent kitchen if you eat in. The lockers are located right outside your door plus plentiful wood for your fire. Sauna is a great bonus. The supermarket at the bottom of the hill is well stocked for simple cooking. It’s a 15 min walk up the hill which we found no problem. We have already decided to book for next year.

New apartments and easy contactless check-in I booked PyhäLinna33 Studio and it was perfect for me: an own entrance, a combined bedroom and living room with beautiful view, a fireplace with firewood, a kitchenette, a stylish bathroom and a sauna with a window to the living room. Everything seemed to be quite new. The location is the best possible. Buses from/to Rovaniemi, Kemijärvi and Luosto stop next to the hotel. Hiking and mountain biking trails to Pyhä-Luosto National Park start between PyhäLinna buildings A and C. A ski slope and a disc golf park are situated next to PyhäLinna. Both check-in time (6 pm) and check-out time (3 pm) are very late. There isn't any reception in PyhäLinna. Normally there are some services in a nearby hotel but now it was closed (and so it wasn't possible to get any breakfast either). There was a number lock in the door of the apartment. I got the key code by SMS message in the morning of my arrival day. After that I called the customer service and I got an early check-in at 11 am without any extra cost. I am sure that during their high season that isn't possible. Final cleaning is included in the room price except you have to wash dishes and take garbage (including bottles) out yourself. Otherwise they will send you an extra bill. I am very happy that I chose this accommodation. Everything was almost perfect.
