Amazing experience in Inari lake, perfect for aurora watching and many other activities. Outstanding service!!!

Nothing!

This place is simply incredible! The ambiance, the staff, and the food is just amazing - amazing reindeer fillet, Arctic charr and perch - so local, so traditional but contemporary in presentation. If you are a foodie you will love this place! So refreshing not see Berger and chips on the menu! The surroundings are simply beautiful-we has a log cabin with a hot tub and sauna which was amazing! We did - snow shoeing, cross country skiing and the huskie ride - all pre booked with the hotel - we loved all of these - we also took a taxi up to the ski resort of Saariselka - which was 50 minutes each way - return in a local taxi was 250€ - this ski resort whilst small had epic snow and was a great day trip organised by ourselves. Totally recommend this place - the fact that it’s adults only is a massive bonus also.

We expected just a little bit more for the money we were spending. We also had to pay additional money for to use the sauna. Nevertheless, it was amazing. But the sauna could use a more personal and relaxing touch ;)

We loved our little glass hut with an amazing view of trees and the frozen lake Inari. It was amazing to see the Northern lights through our roof and to use the daytime for cross-country skiing over the lake.

The food is a buffet then with a choice of a vegetarian or one other main course and is a bit of an acquired taste as it can be overcomplicated. It would be good to have just a few non set menu choices given it is so remote or the ability just to order a sandwich, a pizza or something unless you just come with something you can cook in your room.

Fantastic magical hotel with very friendly staff. Amazing activities. Very beautiful and peaceful.

Not so much the hotel but their organisation of transfers. €100 each way between Ivalo airport and the hotel which is 30km approx. I don’t mind this cost and understand it may be a bit more than arranging myself with a taxi firm but my issue is that the transfers are not private. If others arrive off the same flight as you they will share a taxi, this means the hotel excessively profit. From airport to hotel there was 4 of us which was comfortable in a 8 seater vehicle but on the return there were three couples and over 8 cases. This meant 6 people were crammed in the back of the min van, 7 cases and hand luggage stacked floor to roof in the boot and a case on the passanger seat. Mean while the hotel would have taken €300 for one organised trip. Felt a little bit of a liberty being taken

The hotel is located on the edge of lake Inari and in winter it’s beautiful. We were able to snowmobile, walk and aurora sight see from the frozen lake, as well as ice fish. The restaurant offers fantastic breakfast options from fruit, verbenas, cooked food and waffles. Evening meals are a set main with vegetarian or meat option. Then there’s unlimited buffet started of salads, soups and breads. Being adult only makes the experience very relaxing and enjoyable and near such a natural beauty spot it’s perfect.

Since the Aurora huts do not have bathrooms inside (which was known to us beforehand), we could book private time in the sauna and use the shower there. However, it was a bit of an issue that we had to schedule our showers the day before, and could not take a shower whenever we wanted. Perhaps an additional place with showers and restrooms, closer to the huts, for the guests staying in Aurora huts would work better - we also found it problematic that we had to use the restaurant bathrooms (that the restaurant guests used all the time) to e.g. brush our teeth.

The most extraordinary place. Both the surroundings. and the hotel buildings were beautiful. We stayed in the Aurora hut, which was very small but comfortable. The hotel offers a wide variety of additional paid activities with knowledgeable guides. All staff were great and accommodating. We could book private time in the sauna. Breakfast and dinners were outstanding, delicious food and a huge variety of choices.

Food was exceptional! The staff were very friendly. Our rooms were comfy, clean and well kept. The activities were fantastic. The drinks that the lovely Gio made for us in the restaurant were 5 star, really creative and the best I've ever had. Highly recommend this place!

Breakfast could be a bit more varied. Need more towels in the rooms with private sauna.

Charming hotel on the shores of Lake Inari. The overall vibe is intimate and slow-paced. Our room had wooden walls, private sauna and was very spacious. Dinner was great both nights we were there, we liked the buffet + main course formula.

Perhaps additional sofas around the common area to have some rest.

Everything was like a fairy tale: the location, the amenities, the activities were so well organised, the food was excellent and the staff was really exceptional.

Loved staying in the aurora igloos. Got to see the northern lights. The location is beautiful. Staff were fab.

Perhaps a little more choice in the main course for dinner and lunch?

Exceptional location, amazing staff, so helpful. A family-run business and Nangu surely must be the jewel in the hotel group. Only stayed one night (sadly) in our Finland tour before we flew back to London and what a way to end our holiday. Thank you to Essi and her team. We will return.

Diner was excellent, the courses were really well prepared. However, as a non-meat eater there was only one main course on the menu, a veggie hamburger. Though delicious, three days on a row hamburger is too much. When we asked for day hikes in the vicinity, the hotel could suggest none, except go fishing in the lake. We had to go to the nearest national park for our hikes, 50 km away.

Breakfast very good with great choice of items. Maybe only point of critique is that there was, next to knackebrod, small rolls and croissants, only one type of bread. Ambience of the hotel was great.

Possible wifi options in the room.

Cozy, comfortable, large room. Kind staff. As I was sitting in the lounge bar, the staff came up to me and asked if they could offer me coffee or tea :) Very kind of her :) Nice view on the lake and excellent breakfast - diverse and tasteful.

Absolutely Perfect

This place is a veritable paradise . Magnificent location, which has been turned into a great holiday resort. Rooms have a Wow factor you should discover for yourself. Staff were lovely, telephoned to check where we were, were concerned for our safety when we asked to take a canoe out on the lake, which came at no extra charge and delighted when we asked to use the sauna. We love it so much we are already planning our return in Spring.
