Great place to stay in the area

We had a great stay here. Really impressed with the place. I called in advance as was not sure what time we would arrive. Picked up the keys and the service there was fantastic.

We even had a dishwasher and a washing machine! The place was Clean. The beds were ok.

Perfectly located, walking distance to market and only facilities in town. New and modern studios. Very narrow but comfortable. Sauna is a must. Large bathroom. Convenient kitchen fully equipped . Ok living space and small bedrooms. Sadly, linens and towels aren't included. Kitchen linen weren't available either. Bring yours or pay 12€ per person. Attentive staff. Beautiful place in Lapland.

The perfect Northern Lights getaway!

This place was PERFECT. We went chasing the Northern Lights and needed a place that we could relax in during the day and have a comfortable sleep in after our night looking at the skies and Santa’s Chalet’s didn’t disappoint. The staff were so friendly. The chalet had everything we needed - a sauna, roaring fire and TV, perfect comfy beds and all of the essentials to make a delicious dinner. Shops, restaurant and bar right next door and the cosmic inferno of the Northern Lights raging above. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Overall I liked this one. Rooms were nicely decorated with big windows towards the mountain, location is very convenient in relation to services at Kilpisjärvi and staff friendly. Beds were comfortable, though my personal preference would be a down pillow + I wouldn't mind a bit higher quality rain shower head... both relatively minor things. Also liked the breakfast in general, though was fairly standard good quality 4-star hotel type. Therefore perhaps specialty coffee options and some additions / finishing touches could elevate the experience a bit further.

Hotelli huone siisti ja hyvin sisustettu. Yleiset tilat myös siistit ja sisustuksessa hyvin huomioitu luonto. Ruoka oli hyvää ja aamupalat runsaat. Miinusta oli huonot tyynyt sängyssä ja se ettei saatavilla ollut lisä tyynyjä.

Hotelli on uudehko ja kaiken puolin siistissä kunnossa,huoneet ovat kauniisti sisustettu. Sänky on hyvä nukkua. Kauniit näkymät erämaahan. Aamiainen oli riittävän laaja moneen makuun myös lohta oli saatavilla. Hotellin takana oleva alue jossa on työntekijöiden parakit tarvitsisi maisemointia että sulautuisi paremmin miljööseen.
