Good location! The sauna and the beds are great. A dishwasher is a plus. Handy key storage. Sufficient equipment in the kitchen. The rental notice should have mentioned that you have to bring your own toilet paper, dishwasher tablets and trash bags. A bab
The hotel is located within walking distance from the station (but NOT with ski equipment) at the Ylläsjärvi side of the resort. I have to say that the reception staff was friendly beyond expectations and the breakfast was also better than average (especially when compared with other Finnish hotels).
I could go again. We had a room with in room stairs to the loft and those were extremely steep and hard to climb for an adult. Anyway, kids were happy to get their own nest from the upper level. As always, Finnish hotels rarely are equipped with decent cooking during the summer months. I have no doubts that during the winter the rooms will be warm but during the hot summer days they could be cooler.
Normal house, but the layout is not well thought out and not comfortable for 7 and more people. No details have been devised about cross-country skiing. Kitchen layout awkward.
I went to Äkäslompolo to run the Nuts Ylläs Pallas 37km and chose the hotel for its proximity to the starting line.
The hotel needs some renovation, but despite the bad reviews it was overall better than I expected. Staff was super helpful and friendly, the bed was extremely comfortable (a must before and after a race), the private sauna was amazing and cherry on top, breakfast was absolutely delicious and with a wide range of choice!
There were four of us in the holiday home (three adults, one child) and everything was great. With seven of us, the living and dining area would have been a bit too narrow. Unfortunately there is no WiFi in the hut and there are only benches and no chairs
