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.

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.

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

10/10

Excellent hotel overall. We had the Aurora Cabin. Rooms are extremely comfortable and well thought out. Heated floors, comfortable bed, heated windows for the night sky view. Bathroom well designed. Breakfast is included and there’s plenty to choose from : the usual toast and spreads, cereal, hot food (eggs/bacon/sausages etc), yogurt with plenty of toppings, cheeses and cold cuts, fruit and desserts. Plenty of hot drinks on the machine to choose from and the hot choc was great! Dinner at Kaunis was excellent and well worth trying. Staff extremely polite and friendly. 30 min walk to Saariselka town in the snow. I suggest renting a car. No complaints here and we are already planning our next trip.

We arrived during an extreme weather warning. The snowplough was able to support us to get into the car park. When we arrived, we've had a long journey and the receptionist was absolutely wonderful and offered to carry our bags to our cabin. We ate in the restaurant and it was the best meal I've ever eaten in my life. The service was next to Nunn, the waitress and waiter was so attentive And it really made us feel the ease given that we've had a very tricky drive from Levi. The location was absolutely beautiful and was magical. The cabin was kept perfectly warm for when we arrived, and the quality of everything in the cabin was beautiful. We had slippers, fluffy towels, toothbrushes kits . The views were stunning. Sadly, we never got to see the Northern Lights but still sleeping under snowy sky and waking up to Winter Wonderland was magical. The whole experience felt like luxury and after what I can only describe as a terrifying drive it was lovely to be met with such wonderful service and such comfort. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding and the quality of food was out of this world. There was none alcoholic sparkling wine on the breakfast bar to be able to have for breakfast the most amazing smoked salmon and there was such a variety, I couldn't fault the hotel in any area. My partner, however, would tell you that the breakfast needed baked beans. However, this in Norway impacted how lovely our day was Lori, ferried driver in the snow from the uk

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!

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.
