Book Kakslauttanen hotels

West village is really a beautiful and extraordinary place. The entire property is wonderful. East village has a different character. It’s also charming but not as grand and open space as the west village. The igloos in the west village are gorgeous. If you want to see the northern lights, it’s highly recommended to stay in an igloo. We also stayed in a chalet but had to come out to check the northern lights. Unfortunately, the northern lights tracker in our room didn’t go off when northern lights appeared but saw it when you look up to the sky in the igloo.

Check in was quick & easy, we were placed in room 229. Make sure to state any accessibility issues, as the hotel doesn't have elevators and if you're placed in the farthest wing from reception, it means you'll need to drag your luggage through about 8 firedoors & a flight of stairs (which they don't inform you of during check in). The room itself was nice, we were in one of the superior twin rooms which have been remodelled more recently, but the hair dryer was broken & the shower had mildew & other build up on the floor. Onto food: They provide allergens information (gluten, vegan, lactose & vegetarian) but make sure to pay attention as there were many times the wrong allergen sign was in front of the wrong dish. Breakfast: Thank god breakfast was included in the cost of our room because it is absolutely not worth paying for. They made the exact same food every single day for breakfast, no variation. Consisting of scrambled eggs, mini sausages, soggy veg, mini pancakes, and cereal/yogurt selections. Dinner: We paid for the dinner buffet once, never again. The lack of selection at breakfast should have given us an impression of what the dinner would be like, but we clearly weren't thinking properly. I suggest leaving the hotel for your meals. There are plenty of restaurants around that offer great options for less than the buffet cost (€30). And the biggest issue is dont expect to be able to use the wifi while youre there. It just doesnt work. And the staff are useless if you

Good stay

Loved Saariselka. The inn was perfect. Beautiful scenery around this cosy little village. I would definitely visit here again. Very relaxing, a little getaway from the hustle and bustle of Levi or Rovaniemi.

The hotel is very well designed (We saw perfect northern light on the 2nd night). Really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the facilities, friendly and efficient staff, excellently organised activities.

Excellent apartment, very well equipped even down to plenty of washing powder, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, kitchen roll and bin bags. Superb location central to Saariselkä centre and walking distance to ski resort. Lovely welcoming reception area with well stocked and reasonably priced shop. Would definitely stay here again.
