overall:
Definitely the best accommodation in Saariselkä
Geographically located at almost the highest point
We saw the unforgettable Aurora on the first night we stayed 😭🥺
And it’s really obvious! ! ! !
The hotel does not have much unnecessary light pollution
It’s just perfect for taking aurora photos with clear faces.
The room type we booked is a cabin in the building.
Highly recommend everyone to book this room type
The design of the building within the building is really comfortable.
There is also extra space for luggage, so it won’t be too crowded.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to easily see the entire snow scene
There is also a balcony where you can go out
There are also plastic snowboards to play with outside the door of the room.
Everyone has a smile from the time they check in at the front desk
The service attitude is super good!
After staying two nights we decided to book another night
This time I stayed in a glass house
It’s amazing though!
But I would recommend the cabin more
Oh, there’s more! Be sure to try their sauna
Super big, super comfortable and very reasonably priced
transportation:
I think it is more comfortable to drive by yourself if you come to Saariselkä. Although the ski resort, the entire town and the entire hotel are not far from each other, driving will make traveling much more convenient. It will not be difficult to drive on the way up, and you will see awesome scenery. The view, overall very convenient.
Breakfast: Sufficient portions, all you can eat salmon and various fish, together with beautiful views, the overall experience is very good
Dinner: The hotel provides dinner at the same place in the evening. I personally think it is worth a try. In addition to the atmosphere, the food is also very delicious! It is recommended to dine at sunset, everything is beautiful!

The hotel knew that we had to catch a flight early in the morning, so they specially prepared sandwiches and drinks for us, which was very considerate.

The room is clean and tidy. It is a small duplex. You can open the window and go out to the small balcony to enjoy the natural scenery and the Aurora. There were reindeer walking early in the morning. The restaurant in the hotel is also good, the scenery is very good, but there is very little food. Reindeer steak is the main food, but the taste is unacceptable to most people. There are few places to eat, drink and play nearby.

Perfect location to see the Aurora, excellent food & all the activities you could ever want. The staff were incredibly diligent especially since we had a few serious food allergies. Husky sledging & reindeer feeding a highlight. Definitely recommend.

Got good service when my wife had an accident on a toboggan and thank then for that but this hotel is missing a massive trick here. After a day of activities there is no where to relax at the property . The reception area has a bar but no where for hardly anyone to sit and enjoy a drink so it forces people back to their room which incidentally has doors that rattle all night and you can barely sleep . No cleaners in your room the entire stay and when you leave to go home you all have to struggle in the snow up an icy hill your self with your cases. Near on killed me . No porter service and barely no staff to be seen.

Our group stayed in 3 Aurora Glass Cabins for 5 nights in mid-November. Cabins were great and comfortable. Breakfast each morning was plentiful and very generous. All the activities were well planned and fun. We were lucky enough to see some good snow over the 5 days and also to see the amazing northern lights. But what made our stay were the very friendly and helpful staff. We loved our stay.
