Saariselkä Inn Majatalo Panimo

Reception was at pub, so had to wait for service. Two room booking, but one was charged an extra €150 for another day extension. Since no such request was made, we refused to pay. Problem source was never identified, but we finally got our room keys. Block 800 was fine, but block 900 had a strange smell. Room was compact and tidy. TV wasn’t working due to snow interference. It was a choice of TV or kettle, as using same outlet, so can’t watch TV if boiling water. Tiny shower area, so water is everywhere on toilet floor. Also it slopes towards drainage, so steady balance is necessary on slippery wet floor to avoid fall. Breakfast was at cosy restaurant, where service is pleasant. Inn is located at a great spot, convenient and easily accessible to most places. Nearby pub is perfect for quick drink & snooze. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Real awful and unpolite service… really not understable how the stuff communicate and handle customers. We hsd nice, enjoyable evening before stuff come and push us out before 20min of closing time. We will never come back to this bub, becease of service which we got…

Very good value for money.Located in village centre. Big clean basic rooms. Stunning surroundings: walking trails , sky tracks, bicycle, snowshoe rentals. Bus stop just outside the hotel. Sauna on site. Various breakfast buffet, good selection of food. Friendly and polite staff at reception. Thanks a lot:)

I loved this pub, I wish it was my local! Charming rustic homely pub where the fire is always burning, Great drinks selection, kids welcome, friendly staff - a proper pub. You can either have alcoholic beverages, hot chocalates - why not combine the two? - I did. Try the Gloggi or Gluewien also.

We travelled to Santas Saareslka Inn in November 2023, the opening weekend for Santas lapland (who we booked with). On arrival we were greeted by a very helpful rep. We were shown our rooms. As a family of 4 we had two interconnecting rooms. This meant we had two bathrooms too. The rooms were roomy enough and were very warm. There were drying cupboards to put snow suits and plenty of wardrobe space. There was also a kettle and fridge. Top tip- you only get paper cups so take own cups and spoons. There was plenty of room to put suitcases etc. The bathrooms were basic but has a shower (always hot) sink and toilet. The block we stayed in was straight across from the resturant area. You could go here for breakfast- lots of choice or to sit in the sofa area. The pub (where reception area was) was lovely. Very warm, great atmosphere and had board games you could play. Although I agree with previous reviews about rooms being basic and outdated, they had all we needed, were warm and were in a great location. We really didn't spend much time in the room as wanted to make the most of exploring.

What I liked the most - the staff. And Anna's restaurant serving breakfast.

We had the most amazing time here. The hotel is made up of wooden huts with about 20 hotel rooms in each block. They looked simply idyllic in the snow. The rooms are basic but clean and very warm. Hot and powerful showers and very comfy beds! Breakfast was lovely as was the evening meal at Hotel Tunturi. We booked with Santa’s Lapland and we can’t fault them at all. Amazing experience for children and Lapland is simply magical! We would love to visit Finland again in the future as it’s a beautiful place and very friendly locals. Enjoy! Tips- Take tea bags/ coffee Don’t overpack as you’ll be wearing snowsuits and boots for 99% of the time

Apartment was perfect for our needs to stay a night before heading to the UKK wilderness.

Dingy room, with a very old and tired kettle and no fridge (there was one in the photo). The single beds were very narrow and uncomfortable and the bathroom was very basic. The whole experience felt very “budget”.
