The Aurora Suite provided a stunning view down the ski slope. The size of the suite was impressive, with its own sauna on the first level and a jacuzzi on the terrace. Even in -8°C, the jacuzzi heated to a cozy 40°C, making for a relaxing evening after a long day. The staff were helpful, and the Hilltop restaurant offered delicious food, though the prices were high. We noticed that the spa area was quite small, only having a little whirlpool. The buffet breakfast included several options catering to various dietary needs, adding to the enjoyable start of our day. the a la carte options were limited, and some meals arrived a bit cold. The transportation from the railway station took time and was a bit costly, causing some inconvenience. The location itself was beautiful, but accessing restaurants could feel like a trek.

Stunning aurora-viewing opportunities

great cabin but a long trek for breakfast

The log cabin provided a warm and cozy environment, equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast buffet catered to all dietary needs and offered a variety of options. The views of the mountains from our room were absolutely stunning, making every morning feel special. Our trips to see the huskies and reindeer created unforgettable memories amidst the beautiful surroundings.

Totally recommend for a short visit

Cozy cabin, breathtaking views, the room was warmly equipped with everything we needed and offered a stunning mountain vista that made waking up feel special. the location was convenient with easy bus transportation to explore the surroundings.

Entirely happy.

The hotel is nestled on a hilltop, offering stunning mountain views right from the Aurora Suite, complete with a hot tub and sauna. The diverse excursion offerings were impressive, providing plenty of winter activities like skiing and safaris amidst the beautiful Finnish nature.

The a la carte menu was notably limited, leaving a lot to be desired for those looking for variety in dining options. the dinner buffets often served cold food, which proved disappointing after a day out in the cold. The transport arrangements for pickups from the railway station were chaotic and costly, making it a hassle to arrive at the hotel. During peak meal times, locating a seat in the restaurant was a bit of a scavenger hunt, further complicating mealtime. Lastly, the spa area felt cramped with only a small whirlpool available, missing out on the larger wellness facilities seen in other hotels.

a perfect spot for nature lovers and city explorers alike

the stunning views from the top of the hill made each morning feel magical, while the proximity to Iso-Syote and Syote National Park allowed me to explore beautiful landscapes and indulge in nature walks just a short distance from my cozy room.

The cabin was exceptionally cozy, with a private sauna that really added to our experience. The staff was incredibly helpful, guiding us with excursions and local details. the views were just breathtaking, making it hard to leave the room.

Not obvious to find.

What a fantastic experience! The heated chalet was cozy and the sauna was just what we needed after a day of husky sledding. I was surprised the room wasn't quite as picturesque as depicted in the photos. I’d love to come back!

I appreciated the cozy atmosphere, especially the warm, well-equipped log cabin that made my stay comfortable and inviting. The attentive staff were incredibly helpful, ensuring I had everything I needed during my time at Hotel Iso-Syoete.

More information about a la carte options needed.

The cozy log cabin had great sauna facilities, but transport was costly and complicated.
