Die Lage ist optimal. Die Rezeptionistin war extrem freundlich.
Eher älteres Hotel. Das Abendbuffet und der Filterkaffe waren enttäuschend.
Rauhallinen sijainti, kuitenkin lähellä kaikkea.
Hyvä aamupala
Erinomainen henkilökunta
Aamiainen oli monipuolinen ja maukas ja henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja osaavaa. Hotellin sijainti hyvä. Majoitukseen sisältynyt pääsy tansseihin äkäshotelliin oli plussaa!
Aula, ravintola ja yleiset tilat uudehkon ja remontoidut. Henkilökunta todella ystävällinen. Aamupala oli hyvä. Hotellilta on helppo lähteä sekä autolla että kävellen. Kauppa oli myös lähellä.
Lemmikkihuone ainakin vaatisi päivitystä, samoin huoneeseen johtavat käytävät ainakin maan tasolla. Suihkuverho halusi liimautua ihoon. Hintatasoltaan pelkkä huone ei vastaa tasoa mutta muut palvelut kyllä. Huoneen näkymä oli "takapihalle" kohti parkkipaikkaa.
Aamupala oli erinomainen.
Siisti hotelli, mutta huomaa, että rakentamisesta on jo aikaa.
Mainio henkilökunta ja upea aamiainen. Kiitos erikoisdiettien huomioimisesta.
Huone oli epäviihtyisä ja aika kulkenut sen ohi. Liian kuuma ja matto lattialla ei ollut siisti. Verhot roikkui miten sattuu ja oli osin irti.
Hyvä aamupala, kuten Lapland hotelleilla yleensäkin. Henkilökunta oli todella mukavaa.
Hotelli on nähnyt parhaat päivänsä 20 vuotta sitten. Huoneistosta jäi epäsiisti tunnelma. Lattialla valmiiksi hieman hiekkaa, ikkunat likaiset, suihkun letku vuotaa.
Sijainti ja aamupala
Alles , Sauna ....
Hyvä sijainti ja hyvä aamiainen
Sauna oli huonokuntoinen
Aamiainen oli tuore ja monipuolinen. Miinuksena oli pahanmakuinen munakokkeli joka oli aivan liian suolainen. Kaurapuuro erinomaisen hyvää.
Huoneet olivat hieman suttuisia, leirikeskusmainen. Myös siisteydessä puutteita. Hinta-laatusuhde huono.
Asiat sujuivat ok.
Tilojen ja varsinkin huoneen yleisilme alkaa olla "väsynyt".
Aamiainen erittäin monipuolinen. Sijainti rauhallinen ja ei paljoa muita ihmisiä, rauhallinen
Jääkaappi olematon, rappusia noustessa piti varoa päätä, Alhaalla ei oleskelutilaa neljälle. Sauna liian pieni.
Frukosten var bra
Loistava aamiainen ja edullinen hyvä illallisbuffet. Henkilökunta oli tosi ystävällistä niin respassa kuin ravintolassakin. Sijainti hyvä lähellä palveluja.
Hotellin aula on ok, mutta sen jälkeen alkaa aikamatka 90-luvulle. Huone oli huonokuntoinen, vessanpönttö heiluu ja vessa haisi. Likainen kokolattiamatto käytävillä oli kammottava. Yleisilme todella heikko, motellimainen – eikä sitä hyvä asiakaspalvelu ja aamiainen oikein kompensoi. Mietimme, miten tuollaista kehtaa myydä ulkomaalaisille turisteille, jotka todennäköisesti maksavat ison rahan Lapin elämysmatkasta (niin kuin suomalaisetkin). Huonoa markkinointia Äkäslompololle ja koko Lapille. Ja vaikuttaa myös alueen muiden yrittäjien elinkeinoon, kun matkailijoille jää huono kokemus remontin tarpeessa olevan hotellin takia.
Frukosten är jättebra, gröten alldeles underbar! Personalen är jättetrevlig! Läget på hotellet är det absolut bästa, 150 m till skidspåret! Skidspåren perfekt preppade, ca 30 mil för både klassiskt och skate, och att kunna stanna på caféer längs spåren är underbart! Skidbuss till "andra sidan berget" och utförsåkningen är en superbra service. Jag älskar att ha egen bastu på rummet. Det tar 10 minuter att gå ner "till byn" för att shoppa och äta god mat. Det finns gott om bra restauranger att välja på. Det är 2:a året vi besöker Lapland Hotels Ylläskaltio och kommer åka dit igen nästa år!
Rummen är slitna och ganska trista, men sängarna sköna - och det spelar ju mindre roll; man ska ju ändå bara sova där. Det är varierande kvalitet på middagsbuffén, vissa rätter väldigt bra, andra inte så bra. Jag tycker priset för rummet är lite högt med tanke på att det är att det är ganska slitna rum, men helheten att få bo i Äkäslompolo så nära spåren och byn med det stora utbudet på middagsmat väger upp detta med hästlängder!
Aamiainen oli todella runsas ja hyvä!
Huoneessa oli yläparvella sängyt. Parvelle johtavista portaista puuttui joistain askelmista liukuesteet.
Ei hissiä. Huonot sängyt. Jääkaappi lämmin.
Schoon hotel, maar gedateerd.
Siisti hyvä hotelli keskeisellä sijainnilla. Plussaa monipuolinen aamupala (erityisesti maukas aapupuuro) ja tanssiliput. Erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta.
Ei erityistä
Lage, Essen , Nordlicht gut sichtbar ...
Alles Ok, nichts zu beanstanden !
Viihtyisä ja hyvä sijainti, loistava aamupala 👌
Saunan kiuas ei lämmennyt.
Hyvä sänky.
Äänieristys oli olematon.
Allt fungerade bra
Lite ostädat på loftet, gammal saft
Loistava aamiainen mahtavalla näköalalla. Henkilökunta oli avuliasta ja ystävällistä. Sijainti oli loistava.
Stayed at this hotel 7th 10th December flew with TUI from Bristol right from check in it's geared up for children on the flight they play games to keep the little ones entertained our 4 year old grandson loved it. When you land you pick up your snow gear before going to the hotel which is about 45 minutes away. Check in was fairly quick we had a ground floor room with 2 single beds and an armchair that went into a bed our grandson loved it the beds are comfortable and the bathroom was fine if a little small having your own sauna was nice . The bar area is nice and the staff are very nice although the drinks are expensive the restaurant is upstairs and is nicely set out the food is OK always managed to find something to eat there is also a bar there. TUI put on activities during the day and have a kids club early evening the hotel also has games and a pool table outside they have sledges you can use . The village is about 10 15 minutes from the hotel with shops and a bar and just past the shops is a path to the lake. The TUI trip to the snow village was lovely I especially enjoyed the dog sledging we also did the reindeer safari which was very good.
Paid for a superior room from Friday until Tuesday, didn't get the room cleaned until Monday and when I have just arrived back it says my room has been cleaned but all they did was drop clean towels off never made the bed or cleaned the coffee cups ( which I have been doing Each day ) I went and complained at reception but they said they don't clean the rooms over these proof weekend and when I said about the standards of cleaning ie not making of the beds and leaving dirty cups they offered me new cups . I have paid nearly £200 per ngt to stay here which I believe to be a price for a high standard this hotel definitely does not offer that .
Aamupala. Tanssit
Vanha. Ilmastointi vähäinen.
Absolutely beautiful hotel and the staff were so efficient, helpful and friendly! The restaurant and food were so clean. Room was lovely. Shame on the owners for charging €1 for a small ramekin of mayonnaise. Not all kids like ketchup and that was the only free condiment on offer.
Perfect voor families
Verwarming in de kaer stond te warm en was lastig voor de kids boven, ze hadden problemen met slapen door de warmte. Verder alles perfect.
Hotel familial très bien situé, très bon rapport qualité prix, les plus : le petit déjeuner et le sauna dans la chambre. en plus, nous avons pu profiter de la salle de sport et du sauna et piscine de l'autre hôtel lapland à akasampolo
chambre un peu vieillote mais confortable
Ligging
Zeer gedateerd hotel
The hotel was lovely and cosy, had everything you needed. We were there 4 nights 5 days. Its been said before the rooms are basic but they have everything you need. They need to be sturdy with all the people, cases, boots and suits that come in and out. The staff are so helpful and very pleasant, they went out there way to help us. We were with TUI and can't fault them, the reps were great on hand to give hints and tips, and tell us when the Northen Lights were out. That was some night 🌙 🌟 Thank you all.
Stayed for 3 nights on a package holiday with TUI. Arrived at the hotel around lunchtime, unfortunately our room wasn’t ready, check in is at 4pm, so we headed upstairs for lunch. Once our room was ready we headed upstairs, no lift available so had to carry cases up. Our room was a family room, with a mezzanine floor. The steps to this are very steep, so take care with children. There is a gate at the top. Rooms have a fridge, large wardrobe, kettle and tea/coffee. Large bathroom with excellent shower, and sauna. Beds were very comfortable, and heating was adjustable. Food in hotel was excellent, lots of choice, with tea/coffee and water available, plus juice at breakfast. Bar in restaurant and also cafe bar downstairs with snacks available. Small shop area with souvenirs beside reception, and also a pool table, air hockey and a couple of other arcade machines. Large grounds and loads of sledges available for kids. Short walk downhill to the supermarket, giant reindeer and swing. Would return to this hotel again
Amazing, the hotel was lovely with a nice sauna, basic but you’re not in the room that much. I love that there was board games in the bar area, free sledges outside overall the best holiday we’ve ever had. No complaints over the food, always plenty of choice but we’re not fussy eaters. Hoping to return next December.
Unglaublich nettes Personal, tolle Landschaft
Extrem heruntergekommenes Haus. Viel zu laut, nichts für Paare oder individual Reisende. Typisches Familienhotel. TUI Hotel halt.
Aamiainen hyvä. Henkilökunta erittäin ystävällistä.
Laplands Hotellien rahastustyylistä pohjoisessa. Ovat hankkineet pirusti korjausvelkaa näillä ostamillaan hotellleilla, jotka ovat osin erittäin hienoja suojelukohteita. (Kilpis, Pallas) Hettakin hyvin säilynyttä tyylikästä kasaria. Ylläskaltio olisi kasari-ysärihotellina varmaan lähempänä purkutuomiota kuin kunnostusta. Huoneemme lattiasta puuttui esim. Osa lattian linoleumi matosta. Peitin yöpöydällä ennenkuin puoliso näki Sääli Arkkitehtiä jolle on ehkä aikanaan saneltu tuon "Kioskin" muotoilu.
Aamiainen oli todella hyvä ja monipuolinen, erityiskiitos haudutetusta kokojyväkaurapuurosta ja vohveleista. Päivällinen myös erinomainen, laadukas, monipuolinen, ihanat salaatit ja pöydässä myös Lapin herkkuja,
Saunaa ei oltu pesty edellisen matkailijan jäljiltä. Lauteilla oli hiekkaa!! Muuten huone oli siisti. Vuode hyvä.
Sijainti hyvä, ystävällinen ja asiantunteva henkilökunta, aamupala maukas, siisti huone.
Aluksi huone oli viileä ( saimme lisälämpöpatterin), veden lämpötila vaihteli aluksi kylmästä tulikuumaan.
Merci à la réceptionniste pour son aide et sa gentillesse.
Huone oli hurjan kuuma, nukkumisesta ei tullut helteellä mitään, kun vain yhden ikkunan sai avattua, ei saanut edes ristivetoa, että ilma olisi kiertänyt. Parvella ei voinut olla lainkaan kuumuudesta johtuen.
Hyvä sijainti, runsas ja maittava aamiainen, ystävällinen henkilökunta
Huone oli todella kuuma. Nukkumisesta ei tullut mitään, eikä huoneessa voinut muutenkaan oleskella kuumuuden takia. Yöpymisajankohta osui helteiden aikaan, mutta silti jos huoneita kuitenkin on tarjolla, tulisi ne saada ehdottomasti viileämmäksi. Nyt huone oli käytännössä kelvoton majoittumiseen.
Visited here for a skiweekend with my kid, basicly everything worked - but property is getting too worn-out for these prices… Explanation is always ”Lappi-style”, but it is really not that you get in real-life. Breakfast was excellent and ”breakfastboat” definitely a precious piece of restaurant art. Btw, first skiingcentre for a decade where you must pay for a skibus with a Ticket (not hotel’s fault!). But okay, sauna was warm and we got beds to sleep
Sand is carried on shoes from the yard to the rooms and it's everywhere. Access to upstairs could be easier and the breakfast room could be accessed directly from the second floor.
The gentlemen at the front desk were so nice helpful as we navigated the next part of our travels. They were also full of information about the area and transportation. Thanks to Jesse and Osmo! We loved the sauna in our room and the breakfast was amazing! Nice people there to! Loved the cross country ski culture
Worn out hotel but location is good and breakfast is excellent
Everything was perfect ! The location is near to the forest so you can quickly go to see the northern lights, the staff was so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a huge buffet, If you don’t wanna go out for lunch and dinner, the kitchen is pretty good too !
Hyvä
The whole experience was seamless. The staff were fantastic especially Osmo and Cem who looked after us with support for the bus, facilities and how to get to places. The rooms were clean and spacious. The sauna in the room was a delight after a day skiing out in the cold. The buffet breakfast was great with varied options. It was nice to have the pool table and easy to access the ski storage. The location of the hotel is fantastic with cross country skiing right on the doorstep and the airport bus and ski bus stops right outside. There are shops and restaurants easily accessible from the hotel.
The decor is a little tired in the rooms but it really isn't the end of the world.
Wonderful hotel in a great location. The staff were amazing. Loved it.
Nothing, it was perfect.
We did a four day trip to lapland and stayed at this hotel. Had a fantastic time. Hotel staff were brilliant and friendly with the kids. Not far from the shopping centre and frozen lake. (10/15mins) Only slight issue we did have was the shower, we didn't have any hot water on the last two days. We didn't say anything either so it might have been a small problem that the hotel would have sorted or it might have been the time we were trying to use it. Food was nice. Breakfast maybe a bit samey but at the same time there was plenty to choice from. Everyone found something to eat.
Very convenient location. Managed to see Aurora from bedroom window! Large room for a family. Good for an overnight stay. Amazing breakfast!
Thin walls meant could hear the neighbours late into the night, and they could hear our required early start despite trying to be as quiet as possible
We got back from staying at the Snow Princess on boxing day. The hotel was lovely, warm and welcoming. The food was brilliant quality and the staff were friendly. The sledges were a great touch for the kids. Only 10 minutes walk from the frozen lake. We absolutely loved it!
Séjour en couple pour la nouvelle année, l’hôtel était top, le repas / petit déjeuné très sympa! Personnel très gentil, à proximité du centre du village
Just got back from our fantastic holiday in lapland. Second time we stayed at this snow princess hotel and cannot fault it. Last year we came here for 3 days and this year for 4 days. Lovely hotel and very friendly staff. Hotel was very clean and warm and food was lovely. A very good choice of food to meet everyone's needs ( even children ). We definitely will be back again.
Just got back from a 3 night Tui package at the Snow Princess aka Yllaskaltio. Very friendly staff and reps, room great for us a family of three. Duplex set up means adults can stay up once kids in bed but still hear them easily. Food was great. Choice was limited to one or two options each lunch/dinner but quality was always top notch. Sledges available for free outside hotel so lots of fun for kids. Top tip, put your kid in the sledge and pull them along to the frozen lake (15 min walk behind a supermarket, mini shopping center and pub). Tui side of things very well organised and Santa village was great. Great memories made, can’t recommend enough.
Along with the hotel Akas, the Yllaskaltio is on the opposite side of the fjell compared with the Saaga. As such, the skiing is more limited (until mid February when the widest reds I have ever seen open), served by drags and tbars (and one chairlift). The pistes will be largely empty. You can access the Saaga side from the top and walking over, or by bus. Ski bus is 5 euro a ride, so include it when purchasing skipass. The hotel is visited by bus in the morning before the Akas hotel, so you will get on it OK. 3km to base station or stay on it to the Saaga side. The hotel is fine, with a small bar and gift shop in the reception area. Meals are taken in the massive dining room upstairs, with views of the resort. Food is the usual buffet, half board and was fine. 10 minutes down the road to the supermarket and some bars. Beer is around 9 euro for 400ml, same across the resort. In Jan/Feb the temperature can be brutal, down to below -30C! The people are fab. Definitely for families and more timid skiers. Wrap up warm!
Normaali hotelliyö
Breakfast was great
No aircon and air quality was not that great in the room.
Todella huonot sängyt. Paikka kaipaa kokonaisuudessaan täyden päivityksen.
Great Breakfast with a beautiful view - amazing place in winter
old rooms with old decoration, hard to find a plug, etc... Not my taste but clean.
Breakfast was great, Staff was very friendly though and location is good. Sauna was a nice addition.
The property is a bit run down already. Room was okay, but needs a little bit of renovations. A little too expensive for what it was worth.
Perustason hotellihuone omalla pienellä saunalla. Rakennuksen ikä toki näkyy, mutta pienellä vaivalla saisi laadukkaamman vaikutelman, esim. vaihtamalla valaisimiin ehjät polttimot, säätämällä ovia, kiristämällä suihkukahvan pidikkeen ruuvia. Aamiainen maittava, hyvä sänky.
Clean and comfortable, well located. Good food.
Dated decor , some facilities were badly advertised (room sauna didn’t work ) skeleton staff
Nice cottage-like feeling in the rooms, in-room sauna, amazingly fresh tap water, great breakfast, close to the “Town center” (shopping mall, restaurants) but also to nature trails etc.
Very old
Reindeer black sausage and Lapland cheese with cloudberry jam was excellent for breakfast!
The water from the shower was not warm enough. Clearly it was just bad luck and will be easily repaired.
