Santa's Hotel Tunturi

Spent two nights in the Gielas building, Location of this hotel is great, it is walking distance to shops, restaurants, and a supermarket. Also close to the walk up to the Aurora hut to view Northern Lights. Rooms were clean but a little dated. smallest flat square pillows, so uncomfortable. Single beds. Disappointed shower over a bath as it can be hard to get into and dangerous getting out. Used the sauna once, which was the best thing in the room and good use of a dryng cabinet. The balcony actually served a good purpose, to put beers out in the snow and also as we were facing the right way early one morning I got the Northern lights. Breakfast had a very limited selection at the buffet. Not good and the restaurant staff were far from friendly or helpful. Fancy one 4 slice toaster for numerous guests all standing around waiting. One male member approached me for "taking something from the buffet to my room" Oh my a glass of milk to have medication with. The embarrassing antics he put was unacceptable. Considering others walked out with food. The dinner we had as a group was just ok, nothing to bang on about. This is your typical 2.5-3* hotel nothing more. Much room for improvement. Hopefully the owner reads the reviews. Unless you have to stay here, perhaps view other hotels in the vicinity first.

Un merci tout spécial pour LAUREEN notre animatrice. Sa bonne humeur communicative, sa joie de vivre, sa connaissance des lieux et son engagement sans faille a grandement contribué à un séjour vraiment agréable ! Les activités en motoneige, les promenades plus ou moins sportives comme les séances de luge, ou les megaluges furent... fortes en émotions. La sortie en traîneau avec les huskies fut passionnante de bout en bout ! Les aurores boréales furent nombreuses et certaines exceptionnelles, et LAUREEN par WhatsApp nous en a averti à toute heure. Seul bémol, et à titre personnel : la longue file des rennes à la queue leu leu, avec un homme harnaché comme un rennes en tête... Bof bof bof... Et la séance aussi longue qu'inutile sur la sécurité de cette séance de manège pour enfants de maternelle... bof bof bof bof et rebof !!..

Location of this hotel is great, it is walking distance to shops, restaurants, and a supermarket and about a 15 minute walk to saariselka ski and sport resort. Rooms were clean but a little dated. Breakfast had a decent selection at the buffet.

This hotel has very large and comfortable rooms. Even included a sauna in the room. The lounge area was very roomy and comfortable. The on downside was that the shower was over the bath. Breakfast was served in an adjoining building and was a let down, the food was often cold and not much variety.

サウナを満喫してしました！

We booked through Santa's Lapland and their team were fabulous. Saariselka was a picture post card place. We booked the 3 night 4 day package, will book 4 night next time. The extra activities we did husky ride and snowmobile search for northern lights on Christmas day unbelievable. Then saw the northern lights later that night.
