We loved our little glass hut with an amazing view of trees and the frozen lake Inari. It was amazing to see the Northern lights through our roof and to use the daytime for cross-country skiing over the lake.

I had a super nice room overlooking the river which was frozen and was used as a road for snow mobiles and pedestrians alike. The bed was comfortable and location was good (about 8 mins from the main bus station, about 12 from the shop). Internet worked well, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly.
This hotel is located along the Ivalo River in Ivalo town center. It offers three buildings for accommodations, free parking and sauna access.

This hotel is exceptionally clean and well-designed. Breakfasts were very good as well. We also ate lunch and dinner at the restaurant and had exceptional meals. I especially liked their sweet potato soup. The two ladies who staffed the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the toilet and the lady on duty immediately fixed it herself. The other lady helped us with our taxi and questions about getting to Inari, the next town with the Sami museum, and advised us about the nightclub. This was a wonderful way to end our excellent trip to Finland!

We loved our stay here. It is a beautiful location. All around nature and is situated just beside the road. The bus stop is beside the hotel with just a few steps. We reached late at night with the last bus from Rovaniemi city. The owner kept the room key outside of the reception door and easy to check in. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. When we reached there, the whole place was covered with snow ❄️ that was so mesmerising for us. Morning views are so beautiful with snow everywhere. The cabins are warm and comfortable. It has a restaurant and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner until 7 pm. We did our breakfast and dinner for our whole stay here. If you are lucky you can see northern lights here, just you need your eyes up. The restaurant has a common bathroom, kitchen and showers. It’s open 24/7. There is a hiking trail nearby. You need to ask it at the reception. We did it and the trail was covered with snow and snowing in between our hiking too. We were able to meet and talk with local people when we were returning from our hiking. It was nice to know a little more about the locals. You can roam around nearby places if you have a car else there are limited and less frequent public buses to Ivalo town and Saariselka. FYI- we travelled by public bus from Rovaniemi city to here.

An ideal location for a night on the way to the farthest north. Can possibly be a decent base for trips in Lapland too.
Easy to find, even though Google Maps doesn't know about it - thanks to the clear instructions from the host. Free parking, a good kitchen, easy check-in process, a warm and cosy room.

Ivalo is not big, but it is strategically positioned between Rovaniemi and Inari. Amazing location to admire the northern lights and visit Inari. Nature is incredible and it looks less touristy than Rovaniemi.

Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers.
Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers. A great place to take a rest from busy life and see SNOW in time of climate change. The shops in the centre offer everything you may need and even far in the forest your mobile will still get the signal.

We enjoyed watching the northern lights in the outskirts of the city ... Dont expect the colorful northern lights as you see it in the photos and videos in the Internet , mostly it will be in white color only... Ivalo Hotel club nord and northerlightsriders.fi arrange the best tours which we hired. They showed us the lights in the better places around Ivalo and inari... Apart from norther lights, snowmobile, skiing and other sports activities are available but we did not try those things.

Ivalo town as a tourist attraction might not have too much to offer, however, I was going to Inari and spending time there, hence, Ivalo was optimal for accommodation. It is great that the little town has all services needed and several places for grocery shopping. Also good bus connection.

Ivalo is small but includes some lovely nature trails which are lit in winter and have useful information boards. The supermarket sells fabulous camping kit- such well designed and well made things we don't have at home like collapsible silicon sandwich boxes. And lovely wooden cutlery.
The property is great for a winter wonderland holiday - a nice location close to Ivalo airport, but still in the middle of nature and close to Ivalo River, which is great for aurora hunting. The cabins are very cute and cozy. There is a nice hike that they informed us about that led us to a beautiful viewing point, and they lend you sleds during your stay which was fun. Breakfast is tasty, and the cabins have a water boiler, mini fridge and microwave (on top of a shared kitchen), which makes it easy to make your own meals if you wish to.

We have been in Northern Finland and Norway for 2 weeks now across different locations. This place was probably amongst the best locations. A dream cottage on top of a hill in the middle of a forest with a view of a lake. The cottage has floor to ceiling glass walls in the living room and the 2 bedrooms, giving you a view of the surrounding areas. A "view to die for".
Very modern kitchen amenities. A good electric sauna. This is a place we would live to come back to.
Cozy, clean, and comfortable.
It had the necessary items to refrigerate, eat microwaved meals, and had a kettle for hot drinks.
The check-in and check-out method was seamless.
The location is ideal - 6 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from Ivalo, and within 30 minutes to Saariselka and Inari.
P.S. - You only need to drive a few minutes north of Ivalo to see a spectacular showing of the Northern Lights.
Definitely a great deal for the price.
The location and accommodation is perfect and relaxing. The cabin was clean and the views across the lake from the many windows were exceptional. Had the Northern Lights been active, we could have seen them easily from the living room. It is located an easy distance from both Ivalo and Inari for dining options. Parking was directly beside the cabin. SmartTV and WiFi worked great.
This place is magical. Everything was perfect.
Nestled in the woods in a truly quiet place. There's privacy and mother nature at your doorstep. Beautiful and serene. The accommodations allow you excellent views of the northerm lights all the while feeling there's no one else around you. The private sauna is heaven
Hotel is very comfortable, very clean and close to the city center.The waiter's attitude is also very good, especially the tall beauty. Seeing that my suitcase is too heavy, then she asked me needed help? I really appreciate it! Finally, I want to say that breakfast is good, and there are many choices.
The lodging was big enough for 6 people and very cozy. It has everything, kitchen tools, towels, heater…It was perfect. I really recommend to stay here. If I go back to Ivalo I would like to stay here again.
About the host, he is kind, very helpful and caring.
Good location between Inari and Ivalo. Comfortable and nice room in the middle of the forest. Kitchen is clean and you can find all utensils you need. A good spot to see the northern lights. Host is kind and friendly.
The hotel had an excellent breakfast and staff. It was very clean and had nice rooms with beautiful river views. It also had excellent saunas. Great location. I will stay again!
Very clean and comfortable. Great location, near the Ivalo town and airport. The resort area is very nice, next to the river. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
