Members' reviews on WILDERNESS HOTEL INARI
The new build chalets are well put together, with their own sauna offering a lovely space to chill out in privacy. They are rather packed in and you are unlikely to have a view to the lake. A bit more though could have gone into how the bathrooms are used ref towel hanging and the like.
The log cabins are excellent , but you need to book early, especially if you want the view.
The restaurant is always packed reflecting the recently expanded accommodation offer.
The public space with the fire and cosy atmosphere is a great space to chill after the days activities.
The Swamp bog cocktail is a fun concoction based on Cloudberry whisky and ginger - definitely worth a try.
The 5 Wilderness Hotels in and around Inari are a mature offering - they know what their customers want and are focussed on meeting or exceeding expectations.
Hotel secondo le nostre aspettative, camera basic pulita e spaziosa, un po’ meno per il bagno, infatti quando si fa la doccia si rischia di bagnare tutto perchè non c’è il box doccia. L’ultima sera abbiamo soggiornato nella cabin area e la vista è mozzafiato, con un ampia vetrata. Consiglierei di mettere una tenda in quanto se si vuole dormire entra troppa luce e soprattutto per la privacy.
Escursioni ottime e con ottime guide, siamo riusciti pure a vedere l’aurora il penultimo giorno; in tutte le escursioni c’è qualcosa di interessante.
La reception è cordiale e sempre disponibile per ogni minimo problema.
Arriviamo alla pecca: ps siamo italiani quindi è facile giudicare il cibo: qualità mediocre ma troppa poca scelta. Mi sembra assurdo che al mattino ci siano uova, salumi, formaggi, biscotti e marmellate e questi mancano la sera. Cosa costa inserirle nel buffet? Raramente ci sono carboidrati, pasta mai vista e solo 2 volte il riso a pranzo.
Al contrario la colazione ottima.
Per concludere consiglio vivamente questa esperienza e struttura!
The facilities at the resort are really good - rooms, dining area, activity planning, etc.
The location is a dream, by the side of the frozen lake (Finland’s 3rd biggest lake ). It gives you open spaces to view the Aurora.
The guides for our activities were excellent - they take a lot of care and give us time to learn new skills. They also share a lot of information about the area, culture, history, etc.
I would recommend snowmobiling and reindeer farm visit. Cross country skiing is a lot of fun but also has a high risk of injuries, so be cautious.
My only observations for improvement (or minor complaint) are
1. The tours and transfer state that the cost is for 3-4 people groups. Our transfer was by bus along with 7 other couples. Aurora hunt by car was stated as 3-4 people and we were 7. So you get the feeling of being over charged.
2. The food spread across all meals is quite repetitive - especially the breakfast (almost the same everyday).
Note: if you have booked 2-3 activities on several days, don’t book winter overall with the room. You will anyway get the overalls for the activities.
