Pelkosenniemi Holidays from £230

Great hotel for short overnight stay or if you want to be downtown for nightlife. Area was safe and has many options for dinner, shopping, and bars. Price was great for such a nice place.

The food was a highlight! Breakfast and dinner were very tasty and well presented. The culinary food workshop was amazing, the chef was a great teacher to learn classic Finnish dishes. The downside was the ‘off season’. Staff frequently said ‘something wasn’t available because of the off season’. 40 mins out of town and lunch was only available as a room order. The shuttle service was significantly reduced and a taxi in/out was an expensive trip. While in their ‘peak’ season this would be a must to visit and stay. More awareness on the website and from staff beforehand to plan accordingly would be of benefit. A beautiful and tranquil escape for the solo or couple travelling North Finland.

Our stay at Halo Igloo was incredible. The room was lovely, everything was very clean and the hot tub and sauna were an added bonus. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much for them. Staff were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help. On one day when we couldn’t get a taxi to one of our activities the man on reception offered to take us so that we would not miss it. Lovely accommodation and people. We hope to visit again.

The best part of our Lapland trip was staying at this house. It truly had everything we could have wished for — a sauna, beautiful snowy surroundings, peaceful forest views, fully equipped kitchen, and even drying machines, which were extremely useful. The two-bedroom layout was excellent. One of the bedrooms, located under the roof, offered a stunning view of the aurora — such a magical experience. The kota was also a lovely highlight, especially on the night we went out and were lucky enough to see the northern lights. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, making everything smooth and comfortable. The location is quiet and relaxing, yet still convenient if you have a car and want to go into the town center. Breakfast was simple but good, and we really enjoyed our easy mornings over the four nights we stayed. The kids especially loved the sledges provided — they had so much fun playing in the snow. We would absolutely love to come back again!

Great and easy check in with lovely staff. Room lively and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was plentiful at the buffet in the morning. Sauna was fantastic at the end of a long day and free to use from 4pm. Parking was easy just in front of the hotel. Great stay!
