Arctic adventure

An amazing Hotel in a great set in a great position with great trips organised.
STUART, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location at a great viewing point for the Northern Lights. Good access to Saariselka ski resort & toboggan run. Food is sub-par, so we ended up going to the village.
Karthik, 1-night trip

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.

Great stay

The hotel is in a fantastic location and the glass rooms are done really well. We were unlucky to not see the northern lights but we still had a great time.

This is a premium hotel, located atop a hill with amazing views, offering accommodations and a myriad of activities for both couples and families. We had a room with sauna which was well worth it after a cold day full of activities. We area arranged 6 activities via the hotel. Our favorites were day and evening snowmobiling, huskies and snowshoing. There also is a ski slop and tobogganing up hill from the hotel. Take advantage of those. Last but not last, the staff were very attentive, friendly, and accommodating.

great experience

My stay at Star Arctic Hotel was one of the best experiences I had. I stayed the glass ceiling cabin which was very cozy and very clean. The staff was very hospitable and attending, they go above and beyond to help you especially Hanna. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends.

Really positive stay and we loved the room except for a few negatives: Tv is positioned way too high up to the ceiling. We could hear the neighbors in our room in the morning. Stairs up to the bed kind of almost damgerous Lobby is disappointing, only one couch to sit by the fire

Fantastic sauna rooms

We had a great time at this hotel. Our room had a private sauna, which we used several times and really enjoyed. The room was large and comfortable. The hotel itself is located outside of town and a little confusing to get to the first time (especially as it gets dark very early). It's also a higher elevation than the area around it to try and increase Northern Lights viewing. We actually found that did not help us see the Lights, as there was often a lot of fog which blocked the lights. But it wasn't hard for us a drive a short distance for better viewing. The staff was varied. Several went out of their way to be helpful and give advice/suggestions. One or two seemed like we were bothering them when asking questions. Breakfast had a lot of options, but we found the food bland. All in all, we really enjoyed this hotel and would stay here again.

Hotelli todella kauniilla paikalla. Palvelu oli ystävällistä, huone siisti ja sänky mukava. Olisin silti toivonut näin korkealle hinnalle enemmän vastinetta. Esimerkiksi enemmän tilaa tavaroille, kuivaustilaa märille vaatteille ja laadukkampia kylpyhuoneen tarvikkeita. En myöskään kokenut henkilökunnan kohtelevan meitä mitenkään erikoisesti verrattuna siihen, miten muissa hotelleissa. Aamiainen oli loistava!

오로라를 보고싶다면 최적의 선택! 산 정상이라 석양 뷰가 아름답고, 바람이 심해서 구름을 날려버려서 한밤에 오로라 감상 가능합니다. 2일간 오로라캐빈에서 숙박하는 동안 모두 한밤의 오로라 쇼를 감상할수 있었어요! 연계된 액티비티도 가성비가 좋아요!

最高のオーロラと景色を体験できるホテル

北欧のオーロラ観光を目的に宿泊しました。スキー場が近く見晴らしの良い丘の上にあるコテージ型のホテルで、あたり一帯の雪原を臨める最高の眺望でした！ご飯も美味しく、寒さも感じないしっかりと温度調整された部屋で、室内のライティングも最高でした。一点だけリクエストをあげるとすれば、水回りのシャワーとトイレの部屋が共用で、シャワーで床が濡れてトイレにも影響してしまうことかなと思います。ただ、トイレとシャワーのある部屋（バスルーム）は、床暖房が効いており嫌な感じはなかったです。 オーロラ観測については、徒歩30秒でスキー場の丘上まで行くことができ、オーロラ観測には困ることはないと思います。私たちの場合、たまたま太陽フレアが活発なタイミングと重なり、夜空全体に光のカーテンが降りてくるような幻想的な体験をすることが出来ました！ 言語面では、英語の聞き取りは必須で、こちらが話す分には、単語レベルでもスタッフがしっかり意図を読みとって対応してくれる感じでした。 とにかく、静かで最高の景色とオーロラ体験を目的とされる方にはオススメできるホテルだと思います。
