Santa's Hotel Tunturi

Amazing breakfast included in the room cost 7-10am, got a free upgrade to a suite with a personal sauna in our room, perfectly located in the middle of the village. Maybe 5-7 minute walk to the top of the village and 20th to the downhill ski resort. 3 min walk to the trails. Everything was amazing!

My impressions after staying during October when the snow hadn't yet accumulated. The building where my room was located had few guests. The room was old and simple but comfortable to use. If I come to Saariselkä again in the future, I would like to stay here again. (Good) - The hotel staff were friendly. They listened patiently to my broken English and gave clear answers. - I used the sauna daily. It was a standard electric stove sauna, but since no one else used it at the same time, I had it all to myself and enjoyed it comfortably. - The breakfast menu had plenty of variety and was delicious. - I had dinner once at the hotel restaurant, and it was delicious. - The K-Market in the village wasn't too far away, so shopping for groceries and such was no trouble. - Right next to the hotel was a trail into Urho Kekkonen National Park. I enjoyed the silence while walking the trail. (Bad) - I think the facilities are old. The door to my room didn't fit well and required a bit of a knack to open and close. I mentioned at checkout that the front desk staff should probably get it repaired.

Studio has good personal sauna. Spacy but some dishes were left in the dish washer.

Breakfast is good, room is clean and spacious, close to national park and place to skii
