“Amazing value for money”
Amazing hotel! The staff is very kind. I loved I could start my skiing day right next to the hotel 😍. The restaurant has good variety and a cozy fireplace that I loved. They have access to the frozen lake where I could dip between sauna sessions, they provided a bathrobe and slippers. My stay was wonderful ❤️✨ looking forward to coming back soon ✨❤️

“in a beautiful location”
The hotel's location is truly right on the lake. We waited for and saw the Northern Lights on the lake. If we come back, we'll stay here because there's no better located hotel in Ruka.

“Very well situated and nice hotel”
Very accommodating staff, high quality premisses and furniture (beds were very comfy, loved to have several pillows and sizes!), situation on the lake and close to main restaurants/ski pistes is perfect.

“Amazing, comfortable and clean”
I like how it’s super clean and it has sauna and cold plunge pool right within the hotel. Ski in and ski out, there’s a t-bar right outside so super easy to get to the slopes.

“This hotel holds a special place in my heart. ❤️”
Good breakfast with an amasing view. The staff in the hotel/restaurant are all brilliant, very friendly and helpful. Nice cosy area in the restaurant where you can have the firewood burning to keep you warm. The hotel is located in the quiet side of the area but easy walk to the main area. It is beside the frozen lake and good spot for catching auroras which we manage to see on two occasions. We requested for an early check inn which we have managed to do so. Reindeer steak is to die for. Me and my partner had the best time staying here and will for sure come back.

“Perfect Stay if you want Ski-inn and Sauna. Highly recommend!”
Staff was super friendly, especially Laura who gave us recommendations for sights and restaurants and also wine and food in the restaurant. Due to our slightly complicated booming setup, 3 different bookings over a week, we thought we were gonna have to move around, but the blond guy in receptions sorted us out so we had 1 room for the whole time. Food in restaurant was excellent, especially the peppered reindeer steak. The Sauna was fantastic as well, and a proper ice pool to dip in! Crazy good Showers.
