Very happy, would return
On arrival we found that we had rooms next to each other, as requested. In our excitement we opened the balcony door in 1 room only to find we couldn’t close it again! Reception came to look straight away, and when they couldn’t fix it they gave us the choice of moving both rooms, so we could still have two rooms together, which worked best for us. The rooms are fairly functional but clean, a good size and the beds were comfortable. The rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed when left on the floor. The reception staff were very helpful, even down to advising the likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights, which we did on one of our four nights. Lapland Safaris have a base in the hotel. I pre-booked our trips with them via email while in the UK, and added more by visiting them on the ground floor, and the clothes/equipment hire was also on the ground floor, so we just had to walk from the hotel rooms to collect our thermal clothes without needing to go outside. Breakfast was a self-service buffet with plenty of choice and slight variations from day-to-day. The bar and restaurant staff were a little less friendly and quite slow, I would have to say their service was variable but it didn’t put us off eating there again. Riekonlinna is near the toboggan run and close to the start of the cross-country and snow-shoe trails. I would probably stay here again for the convenience, comfort and quiet ambience.
Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Research your safaris (different trips are offered on different days) and pre-book while in the UK. If you book more than one safari with Lapland Safaris they let you keep the thermal suits (or you can hire them by the day) so you may find you don’t need so much of your own gear.
