“Good good, but nothing too fancy.”
The location was excellent. Saariselkä is small so everything is walking distance. Safaris, grocery store, ski lifts etc. The Paraspaikka apartments had a Sauna in them which was great. Staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast was ok.

Hotel location is nice. It stands on edge of town and national park, so that convenient for shopping or eating out to town side and also easy to enjoy hiking in the woods or aurora watching at hill top hut. Breakfast is delicious. In-room sauna is very comfortable.
