Upper Lapland hotel rooms a the Independent

"An excellent resort with beautiful, cozy cottages that keep you warm even in extreme temperatures as low as -30°C. The entire experience was very well organized, and the in-room firewood setup is a must-try for a charming and authentic touch. The food is thoughtfully curated, with great consideration for vegetarians, which was a pleasant surprise. Do note that the resort is in the middle of nowhere, offering unparalleled tranquility — but that also means you should carry some snacks for your room. Stepping out in harsh weather conditions requires caution. Overall, a fantastic stay and highly recommended for anyone seeking a serene Arctic escape!"

"We spent 4 nights here 2 adults and 2 kids and it was perfect. Close and convenient to the slopes. Breakfast was nice and was a good start to the day. "

"This property is so nice. We were so happy. Igloos are good. Hotel rooms are OK. Not to big except suits. Luosto center is in walking distance."

"Check in was quick & easy, we were placed in room 229. Make sure to state any accessibility issues, as the hotel doesn't have elevators and if you're placed in the farthest wing from reception, it means you'll need to drag your luggage through about 8 firedoors & a flight of stairs (which they don't inform you of during check in). The room itself was nice, we were in one of the superior twin rooms which have been remodelled more recently, but the hair dryer was broken & the shower had mildew & other build up on the floor. Onto food: They provide allergens information (gluten, vegan, lactose & vegetarian) but make sure to pay attention as there were many times the wrong allergen sign was in front of the wrong dish. Breakfast: Thank god breakfast was included in the cost of our room because it is absolutely not worth paying for. They made the exact same food every single day for breakfast, no variation. Consisting of scrambled eggs, mini sausages, soggy veg, mini pancakes, and cereal/yogurt selections. Dinner: We paid for the dinner buffet once, never again. The lack of selection at breakfast should have given us an impression of what the dinner would be like, but we clearly weren't thinking properly. I suggest leaving the hotel for your meals. There are plenty of restaurants around that offer great options for less than the buffet cost (€30). And the biggest issue is dont expect to be able to use the wifi while youre there. It just doesnt work. And the staff are useless if you"
