Santa's Hotel Tunturi

Breakfast is good, room is clean and spacious, close to national park and place to skii

Hotels.com advertises a games room but there’s no such thing here. Room was nice enough - breakfast was in a very dated room and not great I couldn’t even eat the scrambled eggs as were horrible. Staff gave us incorrect info about airport bus.

Breakfast was every morning the exact same options. Scrambled eggs were terrible, meatballs questionsble, very few cheeses and hams and the ones they had were the supermarket packages cheeses and meats… probably the breads were the only appealing part in the breakfast buffet and coffee was also good but overall a bit disappointing

Terrible! We arrived there at 11pm and freezing cold temperatures, they gave us the wrong apartment number and we were waiting for 40 minutes for someone to appear and just said to us: ah, your apartment number is the one on the side. I called them multiple times and nothing before! It was extremely disrespectful. The room did not have proper heating and no extra blankets… terrible

My impressions after staying during October when the snow hadn't yet accumulated. The building where my room was located had few guests. The room was old and simple but comfortable to use. If I come to Saariselkä again in the future, I would like to stay here again. (Good) - The hotel staff were friendly. They listened patiently to my broken English and gave clear answers. - I used the sauna daily. It was a standard electric stove sauna, but since no one else used it at the same time, I had it all to myself and enjoyed it comfortably. - The breakfast menu had plenty of variety and was delicious. - I had dinner once at the hotel restaurant, and it was delicious. - The K-Market in the village wasn't too far away, so shopping for groceries and such was no trouble. - Right next to the hotel was a trail into Urho Kekkonen National Park. I enjoyed the silence while walking the trail. (Bad) - I think the facilities are old. The door to my room didn't fit well and required a bit of a knack to open and close. I mentioned at checkout that the front desk staff should probably get it repaired.
