Miko and his team of staff were exceptional!! They were extremely professional and kind throughout our stay. The hotel is located near the forest and lake and it gave us a beautiful wilderness feel. We even had the opportunity to have a campfire and bbq marshmallows! We took the suite with kitchen and it was very comfortable. We booked the hotel car to travel out and the pricing was reasonable. Miko is the owner of the hotel and yet he was very kind and humble. The breakfast spread was good. We also had dinner in the hotel and the food was very fresh and delicious. Very affordable too. The only regret we have is, we didn't take a photo with Miko and his team!! If you are looking for a beautiful stay away from the hustle and bustle of city life, this is the place!! Thank you Metsahirvas!! 😍

We stayed at the hotel for 6 nights. The location out of town provided a quiet nature surrounding, but required transportation into town and back. I recommend that you book all activities from the hotel, which will save you lots of travel. The hotel feels very homey and intimate. The staff are very warm and helpful, and feel almost like family. Buffet breakfast was varied, though it was the same every day. I recommend the Metsahirvas especially for couples looking for a quiet homey place

The room was not big, but it had everything we needed and a window to the snowy back yard, frozen lake & forest.

The property is fabulous and the location is a stunning spot but you are very far from Santa's village... It takes 2 buses to get there and if your stay is during the week then that's fine but at the weekend the buses are very sparse. We were a family of 7 and it cost us €70 each way in private transport to and from Santa's village... It was a big expense on top of everything else... Maybe hire a car would be the best option if you could...

The staff was very friendly. We arrived very late after official check-in time and were given a detailed instructions to pick-up keys and get to our room. The room exceeded our expectations because for our long stay at the hotel we were were given free room upgrade from standard double to large double with kitchenette. The breakfast was really good with big varieties of food, were granted with some extra ingredients by the kitchen staff when we asked for them. For one morning we asked for early breakfast in room and were supplied with a huge breakfast box in fridge at the evening before.

Everything was good. No complaints at all.

One of the best vacations 🤍 All the staff is very friendly and hospitable. The food is definitely a highlight with good and fresh variety for every day. Being also so close to the river (and far enough from the city) means that there’s a good chance to see the northern lights just by walking around the area. The organised tours were great, especially with the Huskys and the Finnish sauna experience with Ice bathing. The rooms are comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed the time a lot.

A great functional hotel - just out of the city so you have some space around you. The rooms were really clean and super comfortable beds. The family rooms are a great size and it’s lovely to have a Kitchenette. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We loved that it was out of the city and that Pure Lapland run their excursions from there. We also really enjoyed the sauna and ice dip activity. When we had to leave early the next day they prepared an amazing breakfast for us to take away without us even asking! A lovely touch.

Great location for Santa Claus village - far enough away that it was peaceful but still easy to reach. Loved the sledges for the kids and the fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Staff were very friendly and the apartment was nice.

Food and drink options were quite limited, with a smallish restaurant and bar area. Beds had one pillow per person, but it would have been nice to have a couple of spares.

Small older, boutique hotel away from town (Rovaniemi), on a lake (it was frozen when we were there). Fantastic buffet breakfast (included in our price) with lots of choices. Full buffet dinner also available and worth the extra cost to be able to stay in for the evening. Comfortable beds, rooms had been updated well.

No sound proofing between rooms, could hear conversation next door, although the neighbors probably also realized it so were considerate and quiet. No place to put suitcases, had to open them on the floor. No elevator, be aware you will have to take your luggage up stairs if you are not on the first floor.

Very nice location, close to Rovaniemi, outside the city. Ideal to stay with children. Fire in the hall and closeness to the River with views and nature was perfect for our stay. You can make fire at a wooden refuge 100m from the hotel close to the river. Kids enjoyed the Skimobile ride! Very recommendable. Sauna available for guests (kids allowed) is a must do. Thank you Mikko for your kind hospitality. We will be back!

Great service and very friendly hosts, who were always very keen to help with our questions and specific asks including transport. Fantastic accommodation -lots of space in a spacious, modern and clean apartment by the lake. Unbeatable value for money. Nice buffet breakfast, with a broad variety of local specialties which gave us a flavor of the local specials.

A bit further from Rovaniemi than we expected
