Inari Hotel Guide - Ivalo Church hotels in Inari, Finland.

"Such a great stay!"

"Check in was quick & easy, we were placed in room 229. Make sure to state any accessibility issues, as the hotel doesn't have elevators and if you're placed in the farthest wing from reception, it means you'll need to drag your luggage through about 8 firedoors & a flight of stairs (which they don't inform you of during check in). The room itself was nice, we were in one of the superior twin rooms which have been remodelled more recently, but the hair dryer was broken & the shower had mildew & other build up on the floor. Onto food: They provide allergens information (gluten, vegan, lactose & vegetarian) but make sure to pay attention as there were many times the wrong allergen sign was in front of the wrong dish. Breakfast: Thank god breakfast was included in the cost of our room because it is absolutely not worth paying for. They made the exact same food every single day for breakfast, no variation. Consisting of scrambled eggs, mini sausages, soggy veg, mini pancakes, and cereal/yogurt selections. Dinner: We paid for the dinner buffet once, never again. The lack of selection at breakfast should have given us an impression of what the dinner would be like, but we clearly weren't thinking properly. I suggest leaving the hotel for your meals. There are plenty of restaurants around that offer great options for less than the buffet cost (€30). And the biggest issue is dont expect to be able to use the wifi while youre there. It just doesnt work. And the staff are useless if you"

"Good stay"

"Had a lovely time in Aurora Village. There’s a wide range of excursion to choose from and the facilities are all well maintained. Good selection for the breakfast buffet delicious dinner menus. "

"Check in closes at 10.00.p.m. at a major tourist area. The plane with tourists from the capital, Helsinki, does not arrive at the closest airfield until 10.30.p.m. They need to consider this. The afterhours lockbox is situated outside. It was minus 25 Celsius and dark when we arrived. The lockboxes inside need two fingers for the metal buttons on either side. I still have peeling finger skin two weeks later from having to touch them. The lockbox should be situated in an inside lobby - very poor. There are multiple buildings in this complex and not well lit, so you have to find your in the dark and the cold and pulling your suitcase through snow."

"Great budget accommodation for family trip. Everything was fairly modern, crisp and clean and well equipped overall. Loved the sauna and hot cupboard for turning around wet snow gear. Beds could have been bigger / more comfortable. "
