Star Arctic Hotel

總體： 這絕對是在Saariselkä最棒的住宿 地理位置位於幾乎最高點 我們待的第一天晚上就看到了令人難以忘記的極光😭🥺 而且是真的很明顯的那種！！！！ 酒店沒有太多餘的光害 剛剛好可以拍那種人臉也很清晰的極光照片 我們訂的房型是樓中樓小木屋 強烈推薦大家訂這個房型 樓中樓的設計真的很舒服之外 也有多餘的空間可以放行李都不會太擠 大片的落地窗戶可以很輕易看到整個雪景 也有陽台可以走出去 房門口外還有提供塑膠雪板玩 從前台check in開始的每個人都帶著微笑 服務態度超級好！ 住了兩晚之後我們又決定再訂一晚 這次住到了玻璃屋 雖然也很驚艷！ 但我會更推薦小木屋 喔還有！一定要體驗他們的桑拿房 超級大超舒服價格也很合理 交通： 我覺得如果來Saariselkä還是自駕比較舒服些，雖然滑雪場跟整個城鎮跟整個酒店距離位置都不遠，但開車會讓出行方便很多，上去的路上不會很難開，還會看到超棒的景色，總體來說很方便。 早餐：足夠的份量，鮭魚及各種魚類吃到飽，還有美景一起，總體感受很不錯 晚餐：酒店晚上在同個地方有提供晚餐，個人認為很值得一試，除了很有氣氛之外，餐點也非常好吃！推薦在夕陽十分用餐，一切都很美好！

房間乾淨整潔，是那種小複式，推窗出去小陽台，可以觀賞自然風光和極光。一大早還有馴鹿在散步。酒店的餐廳也不錯，風光很好，就是吃的東西非常少。馴鹿肉排是主要食物，但是這味道一般人是接受不了。附近吃喝玩樂項目很少。

酒店知道我們要一早趕飛機，還特意幫我們準備了在三明治及飲料，非常貼心

The hotel itself is up on a hill, was a bit windy as we were there but did not effect our stay. We booked the scenic room with sauna (Room 209) which was very nice. Small criticism was that the bed is a bit "squashed" in. On the right side you have to go sideways to get in or crawl over the top of the bed. The left side was ok. No side tables. Again, this did not effect our overall experience. There was a wooden side covering that had managed to work it's way loose which knocked a bit on the building, but again no damage to our experience. Apart from that the room was ok and maintained. We booked with a activity package which we enjoyed, just the reindeer experience was not what we imagined it to be. Some feeding, which seemed to take most of the time. A very short reindeer walk, quick tent drink then dinner. The evening meals in the hotel were fantastic, just like the service personnel which I shall come too in the next step of our review. This leads me in fact to the best part, which made up for these little "inconveniences" the service. I would like to thank the following service personal for their absolutely amazing help and attention throughout our stay. Maria, Marina, Mitali, Elisa, Heidi, Marko and Macin and anyone we forgot to mention. Led by a very competent, and for us, amazing manager Jenni. I applaud you all for making us feel so welcome and made it hard for us to leave you all behind. Because of you we are thinking of coming again, so hat off to you all. Everything bundled together it was a wonderful stay and we enjoyed it very much. Steve & Joke

Star arctic is one of many options in Lapland and in Saariselka specifically that cater to winter enthusiasts and aurora seekers. We stayed in a glass cabin and it was comfortable. We did the reindeer sled, snowmobile three peaks and the car search for the aurora. Star Arctic is VERY organized, Everything ran well. Everything promised was delivered. The Kaunis restaurant was very good. Honestly- the experience was extremely good. Due to a huge snow front- we saw the aurora for only about an hour but we were thrilled with that. The snow mobile was great. The reindeer experience was great thanks to Julius and Hilla. We came away with great pictures and an appreciation of the reindeer culture of the Sami. So- I was already at 5 stars but I left my purse in a chair on the way to the airport and the wonderful receptionist helped find transport for it to airport so I didn't miss my flight. EVERY SINGLE person was committed to excellence at Star Arctic and they actively tried to make everyone's experience positive.

The attention given by Charlotte and Niina at Reception; Cass and Julia the event booking team; Racine and Kalle, and one other driver; and Maria the waitress in the restaurant was marvellous, each and every one of them went above and beyond to ensure our four day stay was amazing. The room was spotless and very warm with great views, especially the morning sunrise. The food for breakfast, lunch and dinner was delicious with lots of choice. Meals when out on excursions tended to be freshly made home-made soup and bread, salads, and cake with custard. Every excursion was fabulous, exciting and thrilling. From seeing the Northern Lights to Raindeer Hurding, Snowmobiling at night-time and Husky trail riding all in small groups with individual attention; definitely a holiday to make memories. We booked via Vaycay Travel.
