“We stayed at the Kelo of West Village and it is very clean and cozy where you have your own sauna, bathroom, kitchen and of course the signature igloo. Staff are very helpful and we’ve also met the owner who’s very friendly and welcoming. We’ve stayed 5 nights and 3 nights with eye-visible northern lights. Oh and I have to mention, dinner is surprisingly delicious!!!”
“Super Good overall.
Did the Husky self drive, it was great with a great Husky farm: Matara Creek.
Hotel was great overall, Spa, breakfast, services. I recommend to drive or to plan your activities with the hotel as this is 45 min from the city center. ”
“Erinomaisen rauhallinen kesäkohde luontokokemusten äärellä. Sijainti loistava aivan tunturiin vievän retkeilyreitin lähellä. Mukava henkilökunta ja todellakin tunsi itsensä tervetulleeksi. Luostolla on aina oma tunnelmansa, enkä pettynyt tälläkään kertaa.”
“It is amazing, wonderful, comfortable accommodation. My family like this hotel very much. There is sauna inside the house, we like this facility very much. After one day ski activity, we went back to the house and enjoy the sauna. It is so relaxing and comfortable. The buffet breakfast provided many kinds of dishes, it is good and tasty. In conclusion, I will choose this hotel again for next time.”
“This hotel is amazing! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the accommodations are clean and comfortable. The highlight for me was the in-room sauna, which is perfect for relaxation. Overall, Nova Skyland will definitely be on my list of favorite hotels, and I can't wait for my next vacation there!”
“Pros:
I can pay and have breakfast buffet in the hotel
Room is clean & quiet
Staff member is helpful when I asking the traffic to Santa Claus Village & the airport
Cons:
The sauna room opening duration is short so I can't enjoy sauna in Finland
My room is at 1st floor and I need take my suitcase to walk for 1 storey of floor. No lift.
Notes:
The hotel is small and consist of 2 (or few?) buildings. I need to leave main building and walk for 10 seconds to next building for my room. There is……
"No designed parking area in front of the chalet, one night someone parked in front of our chalet and we had to park further away and walk back under the snow. Some windows and balcony doors do not come with curtains or blinds (or have a big gap), quite insecure about that. The staff are funny and helpful. Overall is good. Laundry machine - 10 EUR for 2 hours. "
"I stayed here for just one night, and the power tripped twice. I had to move a chair to reach the breaker box and reset the switch both times. Also, the front desk said their sauna was great, but when I went to the women’s changing room, the light wouldn’t turn on at all. The location is great though "
"The hotel was situated on top of the hill, and we really loved the landscape around the hotel. A lot of trees and a lot of snow with few people. But there were no nearby bus stops, so transportation was quite inconvenient. Taxi to the city centre for 6 people was 46Euros. But since we expected this when we booked this hotel, we have booked tour with hotel pick up most of the time, so it was not that big of a problem for us.
Staff were friendly, food at the restaurant was good.
Room was small but comfortable and clean. Good to have a private sauna in the room, we enjoyed that :)
It was right next to a ski resort, so good for people who like to ski as well."
