My sister and I had a very nice stay at hotel Kultahippu. Very good dinner at the restaurant, clean and comfortabel hotelroom with necessary facilities. The mattress wasn´t for my back. That is my only complaint, based on individually discomfort.

We had a great stay here.
Riverside building with sauna room and balcony. Very cold in winter while stay at balcony but luckily we saw aurora in midlight .
Room is clean and shower is very hot.Bed too soft for us.
Great breakfast, very kind staff.
Near supermarket.
15EURO for airport transfer &10EURO for bus station transfer.
The aurora hunting tour through the hotel especially was awesome and unforgettable.The guide suggested we changed to another day as bad weather without any additional charges.We had amazing night with the guide and beautiful aurora.

We stayed here overnight before a flight home. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, restaurant and bar were fabulous! Very walkable to shops and other restaurants. Only not great thing was we had to pull/carry our luggage in the snow across two streets to our building. In case this might be an issue for you just be aware when booking.

The receptionist was extremely helpful and kind. The room was specious, comfortable and had its own sauna which unfortunately didn't work. The receptionist arranged a refund immediately for the extra we paid for it. We ate at the hotel restaurant, the food was excellent and reasonably priced.

We loved this property. We stayed for two nights as part of a 10 day trip through Finland.
The hotel is perfectly situated for walking 100 metres to the office of Ivalo Safari, who have amazing experiences. We did an aurora borealis trip on a snow mobile and husky dog sled ride. I will be reviewing these separately.
The hotel breakfast was really good, with lots of choices and a nice homely restaurant setting. The evening meals were good too.
Some reviews i read prior to our trip said that the newly refurb rooms were better, as they were away from the road. Honestly, we stayed in a ground floor room in the older part and the room was very good. Nicely appointed, very clean and no noise at all from the road.
Easy access to supermarket and taxi rank too.
The best thing in the hotel was the sauna. It has sessions each day for general hotel guest access, but can be booked for an hour privately free of charge.
The staff were helpful and friendly...my only suggested improvement would be a few more lounge chairs in reception and a second chair in the room to sit on. These did not impact is at all...just being picky!
Thank you for a lovely stay.

The suite is amazing. It spacious and the sauna in the room was nice to have for privacy. The room had a small back patio you could go outside and just watch the view as well. The food was also delicious.

Wonderful experience!
We really enjoyed this hotel- highly recommend getting a room with your own sauna!! It was lovely to spend time outside in the cold and come back to a warm sauna experience. Room was spacious, great balcony and very comfortable!
The staff was always helpful and friendly and the restaurant onsite was really good and convenient for sure!
The hotel also had tours available (our guide Sonya was great!) and that was super convenient as well.

Absolute gem! We took the room with a sauna and loved it. The staff were very helpful and lovely. Everyone we spoke with friendly and helpful from the welcome to the goodbye. We used the laundry which was easy and very well priced.
Lovely area in the summer, I hope to visit in the winter soon 😁...
Big shout out to the young waitress (and guide in the winter) who spoke with us about our plans and winters in Ivalo - sorry I didn't get your name.

This is an excellent place to stay as a couple or solo traveler. The staff are incredibly helpful and responsive. The guides are amazing. I really enjoyed the aurora hunt by car. The food at the restaurant was delicious. My room with the private sauna was perfect. There is no one that I saw to help with the luggage. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you have kids. It would be sort of boring. But I loved it
