We picked the Saariselkä Inn for a few reasons: it was one of the cheaper options, it was central to everything we needed and we got discount at Husky & Co for all of our excursions. We were very happy. Yes, the rooms are a bit dated but for the price there’s not much to complain about. We had an issue with the heating and someone came and solved the problem immediately. The sofa bed was quite uncomfortable for our third adult... that would be our main criticism. Katja, who worked on reception, was so friendly and was always genuinely interested in hearing about what we had been up to during the day. Other staff members were also friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
Me and my wife visited Saariselka from 28th December 2019 for 5 nights , The room allotted was 501. we reached quite late at around 11.30 and as promised the keys were available at panimo bar. Our room was very nice and cosy. The amenities as promised was there, electric kettle, heaters and running hot water. There is no day cleaning during your stay, no change of linen. Breakfast was complimentary. It was ok for a non-veg but repetitive. The items were same for 5 days and so much so that they are placed at the same place. There is bread, curd , corn flakes, porridge, potato fry with sausage etc, cut cucumber , tomatoes , letuce , cold cuts 3 variety and cheese. Orange in fresh fruit and Berry juice and orange juice, cold mmilk , tea and coffee. Breakfat time 7-10- very strict with time.at 10.05 would not get anything. . Hotel location is very good, k market the departmental store is about 5 min walk most convenient is the bus stop which is just across the hotel. The pub is also nice . Overall a great place to stay for a budget traveller…
We stayed for 3 nights just before Christmas and had the most amazing time. I booked this place as honestly it was the cheapest option by far and I knew we wouldn't be in the room much. That being said everything far exceeded my expectations. We didn't go anywhere near the pub so I can't make any comments on that except to say that the pub shown in lots of the pictures on TripAdvisor and booking.com is in a separate building to the Inn part itself. The pub is attached to the husky and co building and the inn is in a building just to the rear. All of what follows relates to the Inn... Beautiful christmassy reception area with a decorated tree and hundreds of twinkle lights. It was a lovely wooden building with a real husky dog usually sitting behind the counter for the children to stroke. The lady on reception was so helpful and really cheery. There was a small bar, lovely lounge with comfy chairs around a fire and this went through to the restaurant where breakfast was served. This area then transformed to the restaurant for the rest of the day. I think the restaurant was called Anne's Garden Grill. Don't be put off by the massive neon burger outside - the food was excellent and really well priced for this area. We were a group of 5 adults and 4 kids and elwe enjoyed the most delicious chicken wings I've ever had for starter followed by pizzas and then blueberry jam pancakes for pudding. It was €120 for two adults and two kids and worth every penny. Put this restaurant on your list and you won't be disappointed. Breakfast was toast, cereal, porridge, cold meats and cheese, bread/toast and then a cooked dish of sausage, potatoes, onions etc - all very yummy and plenty of it. There was also juice, tea and coffee machine etc. The room had a lounge with a sofa bed big enough for two young children ( but occupied by our 14 year old son) and then a bedroom with a double bed (two singles put together) and a single futon bed which our 7 year old daughter slept on. At a push you could therefore have 2 adults and 3 kids in one suite. We opted for the bathroom with a bath rather than sauna but if I had my time again I'd for the sauna so that we'd have somewhere to dry boots etc in the evenings. The room was always lovely and warm. The temperature is not controlled by the thermostat on the wall - that just covers the bathroom. You adjust the room temp by the controls on the electric radiators on the walls. There was plenty of hanging space, a large flat screen TV in the lounge, a fridge and kettle but no tea/coffee stuff so bring your own and mugs/thermos. The decor was a little dated but entirely in keeping with the place and we loved it. I only have 2 negative comments about the Inn. Firstly there is q curved wall to the bathroom that has glass blocks in it so when you are on the toilet and you have the light on, everyone in the room can see you. Having my 14 year old son in the same room meant this was less than ideal and there were a few toilet visits that had to be conducted in the dark as a result! Secondly all suites are in log buildings behind the inn. We were allocated a room right by the main entrance door to the block. Everytime people would come in they would knock their boots against the walls and on the floor which made a lot of noise in our bedroom so ask for a room away from the main door to the block. Otherwise it was all wonderful and I would highly recommend.…
The hotel is very simple with the check in that has to be done in the pub. The room wasn't big but neither small with a bathroom that seamed not perfect clean. Good breakfast to consume in the same pub of the check-in. It should have a little update but is cheaper than many other.
Receptionist was amazing, friendly and very helpful. Room was cozy and clean and great value. We enjoyed their pub with live music, warm drinks and beer. Easy access of the main highway. Grocery store is in walking distance.
