Wilderness Hotel Juutua

The hotel lobby and restaurant are really nice decorated, very cosy, near a very nice river and the view is fantastic, also not far away from Inari lake (10 min walk). Quiet and not so busy. Employees are very nice and very helpful. The food is very high standard and very good. We spent New Year´s Eve there and the 5 courses menu was fantastic! Village Inari is at 10 min walk. You can park in front of the Hotel. If you book the activities at the Hotel you will be picked up at the front door and droven back. Do not book the airport transfer! This is a ripp off! Instead of paying 100€ you can pay 30€ using the normal bus from Visit Inari. I booked the transfer with the hotel, the driver was 20 min too late after arrival of the flight and to go back to the airport when I left I had no private transfer but the normal one from Inari visit with 8 people to get!!

Rooms are very small. I booked for 1 night a room with sauna in the room but I got the room for disabled people and got no sauna... I was very disappointed as the room was very expensive. Bathroom are not nice at all. In the main building,

The hotel is absolutely unique - originally a Finnish state owned hotel from the 1930s, but now run by the same family in the second generation. The hotel retains its original layout, with relatively small rooms, but has been renovated recently. Bathrooms and amenities are modern, but the furniture is classic Finnish design from the 50s/60s (Artek / Aalto lamps and chairs / tables). Overall it has a minimalist / design but still cozy feel. Location is super quiet with beautiful views over the river. Also recommend to try the on-site sauna facing the river. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. We spend an evening sitting in the lounge and they came over to set up the fire for us - we had not asked for this - which made for a cozy / nice atmosphere. The restaurant - Aanar is absolutely amazing. One of the best restaurants in Finland and definitely a "diamond" in this region of Finland. Modern, experimental cuisine based on local ingredients. Good portions and pricing is on point as well. I wish more people would find this gem - truly unique in a quite rural location within Finland.

Rooms are on the small side, but there's a nice lounge with a fireplace downstairs to compensate!

the breakfast service was very good, we enjoyed the good variety. the staff was very accommodating and helpful for every necessity. the location was perfect, to walk around and to reach the restaurants and other pleases nearby. the local restaurant was very tasty and refined, we enjoyed the good delicacies from Sami recipes.

maybe the room could have been more comfortable if it was one bed for 2 people, instead of 2 beds to be put together. everything else was great :)

Close to nature and all services. Walking distance to Siida museum.

Two out of three mornings you needed to contact personnel to bring more food to the breakfast table. There were no mosquite nets on the balcony door or the bathroom window. It was very hot and it is usual that there is not any aircondition, but to have a propeller in the room would have made the stay more comfortable.

My sister and I stayed at the Kultahovi hotel for 3 nights. our stay was great !! All the staff is extremely kind, professional and very attentive. The restaurant is sublime, we tried the fish dishes, the soup and the reindeer which we absolutely recommend! we had the room with the sauna which was very welcomed in the afternoon after the full day outside! we definitely loved this place!

Nothing to say. All was great and perfect .

Very helpful staff! When we had Christmas dinner at the restaurant (probably best in town), the staff reminded us of Aurora! We saw the strongest one during our 5-day stay at Lapland. When we had early check out, the reception helped to prepare a takeaway breakfast as well.

Room facilities are relatively old (or not modern type rather since it follows the traditional design), but no impact on overall very comfortable stay!

the service is excellent and staff very friendly! second oldest hotel in Finland. the restaurant is a must, compliments to the chef! absolute value for money in a country where a lot of tourist services are heavily overpriced!

the rooms are a bit small, but nevertheless still comfortable. great for a few nights, maybe too small if you plan to stay a week or longer…. but if it’s just to sleep and eat this is fine

It was an amazing experience staying here and the best part about this hotel was the aurora camera that is fitted on the the roof and sitting in the room I could monitor and only then I would have to go out rather than just waiting outside in the cold.

I hope they can get an elevator to get on the higher floor especially with all the luggage and also for elders.

Outstanding restaurant, charming decor throughout the hotel - simple, clean, nordic-style rooms and lovely sitting areas. The birch margarita before supper was divine!

Other than slightly noisy plumbing in the bathroom, everything was excellent and I will definitely come back the next time I am in northern Finland.

Really modern and beautiful place to stay right next to Juutua. Breakfast was really really good! Also we have seen northern lights just above the hotel… That was beyond amazing!
