Lapland Hotels Äkäshotelli

Guests appreciate the diverse and pleasant breakfast. The staff is friendly and professional. The location is ideal for winter activities, surrounded by nature and near amenities.

I never realized how beautiful Lapland would be. The accommodation has the most beautiful surroundings - literally winter wonderland. There was a lot of sledges around for the kids to play on - they had so much fun doing this - using the snow mounds/hills in the hotel area. Our apartment was really spacious - seemed clean - and had a great dryer cupboard for anything that got wet in the snow, dishwasher and a sauna. (we were busy on activities so didn't spend much time here.) It was great going with TUI as there was fun activities for kids in the spare time as well as in the evening, the reps were also very helpful with bus times/recommendations etc. The day out to the snow village was brilliant. Staff in the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Great bus routes to nearby ski resorts where kids can sledge for free. There was one issue but luckily this didn't ruin our holiday - breakfast was fine BUT dinner/lunch was not so great for food. Our kids aren't fussy and managed to find something simple like chips/chicken nuggets but the pasta dishes/meat dishes were really unappetizing for us - I stuck to what the kids ate, as I'm quite a foodie this was disappointing. However this didn't ruin the trip and I probably would return and use the breakfast but eat out nearby for dinner as the hotel was still great value. As a travel agent, I notice this one always comes up a great price including food - sometimes cheaper than the other hotels which dont include any food - AND you have apartment facilities plus the food - so I don't understand why people moan so much as its still better value. Yes some of the apartments are a little far away but there are sledges nearby to help with luggage.
