- Everything! Wonderful hotel where you feel very welcome and always well taken care of. What amazed me the most was the attention to detail throughout the hotel. You can clearly see that the owner and the staff do everything possible to make guests feel comfortable.The special and unique lighting, coffee and tea, bathrobes, candy on the bed upon arrival, and the wonderful food that was constantly replenished all made the stay exceptional. There is also a very nice attitude toward kids and families.I will definitely stay here again and will recommend it to my friends. Thank you for the amazing time!
- Satisfactory, the room was good and the sauna very good. Lunch the day before was lovely.

This our second time here. It has quickly become our go-to place when we arrive in Ivalo. Great location, rooms have everything you need, staff is very very friendly and helpful
Very helpful, friendly and accommodating staff. Breakfast was very generous and delicious. At first I was concerned about having an annex room, but it turned out to be very positive. It was very quiet and parking very convenient. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
Loved the room, the breakfast and the sauna! Just an excellent stay!
Loved everything about our stay!
Very relaxing atmosphere. Excellent food. Helpful and happy staff
The location was excellent with restaurants nearby and a supermarket across the road.The staff was very helpful and made the experience more worthwhile.
rooms could have been a bit better designed; breakfast was a bit limited in offering
Clean and modern bathrooms, close to airport and easy access to supermarket.
Good restaurant. Friendly staff. Had activities such as snow mobiling.
The ice on the pavement next to the hotel was not gritted and very slippery.
Great place to stay for dog sledding excursions. The hotel ran fabulous snow mobiling tours and thank you Tommy for the guiding. The food at the restaurant was lovely and staff were excellent.
The outside needed gritting. There was a lot of ice between the buildings.
Rooms are small but cozy.Good location facing the river and across from a big supermarket.
The restaurant during week days offers a tasty and convenient, €15,50, lunch buffet. But in the weekends there’s only a quite short la carte menu and prices skyrocket … like €27 for a reindeer hamburger with fries.
A lovely hotel in Ivalo! The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were so friendly and helpful. There are also lots of winter activities offered at the hotel which is so handy. Would highly recommend to others, great value for money.
Really friendly, helpful staff and a nice comfortable apartment. The restaurant was really good too.
Good location near town center and frozen river. (River good location to see Northern Lights)
Lady at check in was not very friendly and not efficient.
The room has two stories and is spacious for 5 people. The staircase is narrow and a bit steep. We have a private sauna room. The restaurant attached to the hotel has very good local food. The hotel is across the street from a big supermarket. Ivalo is a small town so it’s easy to get around. It’s also close to the airport.
The staff were SO helpful. Supermarket across the road. Small, clean comfortable rooms.Just perfect for us

I absolutely loved this hotel. It had Everything you could ask for. Plus a huge Grocery store right across the street so convenient. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Oh yes and in room sauna is wonderful. Book all your tours through this hotel it was so easy meeting each tour right from our hotel. We did Ice Fishing, Dog Sledding, Crab Safari, Snow Mobile all from our hotel. Ice fishing tour was awesome. Even for someone who never fished before. I caught 3. And the guide was so kind and informative. He gets a 10 for this tour from me and my husband.
I hate to say this but, I didn’t care for the breakfast. Bacon was soggy and no salmon.
Right in the centre of the village. Good location if you arrive by bus. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent food in the hotel restaurant.
Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to stay. My wife and I both had lunch, which was great. Just after checking in I unfortunately had a drain bleed and was taken to hospital. But the assistance and care offered by the staff was amazing. The care and support my wife received over this period of stress and unknown was amazing. Thank you. You lovely people.
As we were a group of 4 friends, we had taken an apartment and the experience was simply extraordinary. We had a very spacious apartment with all the amenities and facilities listed in the listing. The highlight was the sauna and the fireplace in the apartment which were the highlights of our stay. The staff was also friendly and there were many activities provided by the hotel which we booked at the last minute and the prices were super competitive. They were very punctual and friendly and had an amazing experience staying at Kultahippu
Everything was really smooth and have no complaints whatsoever
