It was a useful location, the room though small had a microwave and kettle plus fridge, and was only 20 metres from washing and cooking facilities.

The location at the frozen river was very beautiful. The staff was exceptionally helpful, the guide Tomas was extra kind and most surprisingly he speaks excellent Slovak:) We rented cross-country skis directly at the property and explored the forests and area around which was a breathtaking experience. It is not too far (walking/skiing) to Ivalo city where you can do grocery shopping if you need or buy souvenirs.
Hillside Rooms features accommodation in Ivalo. Guests can enjoy garden views. The rooms in the motel are equipped with a coffee machine.

Very good place to stay! The most necessary are on the spot. We used our own bed linen. Everything is clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and warm room and shower. Silence and beautiful nature around! Perfect! Recommend!

Ivalo is not big, but it is strategically positioned between Rovaniemi and Inari. Amazing location to admire the northern lights and visit Inari. Nature is incredible and it looks less touristy than Rovaniemi.

Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers. A great place to take a rest from busy life and see SNOW in time of climate change. The shops in the centre offer everything you may need and even far in the forest your mobile will still get the signal.

We enjoyed watching the northern lights in the outskirts of the city ... Dont expect the colorful northern lights as you see it in the photos and videos in the Internet , mostly it will be in white color only... Ivalo Hotel club nord and northerlightsriders.fi arrange the best tours which we hired. They showed us the lights in the better places around Ivalo and inari... Apart from norther lights, snowmobile, skiing and other sports activities are available but we did not try those things.

Ivalo town as a tourist attraction might not have too much to offer, however, I was going to Inari and spending time there, hence, Ivalo was optimal for accommodation. It is great that the little town has all services needed and several places for grocery shopping. Also good bus connection.

Ivalo is small but includes some lovely nature trails which are lit in winter and have useful information boards. The supermarket sells fabulous camping kit- such well designed and well made things we don't have at home like collapsible silicon sandwich boxes. And lovely wooden cutlery.
This location on the lake was perfect and felt secluded from the town of Ivalo but was not too far away- make sure you have a car. We could book a time to use the sauna (30 euros) as long as we told them when we wanted it ready so there was enough time for it to warm up. We were also able to borrow snowshoes for free. There was a communal kitchen that we were able to use and we had a kettle, microwave, and mini fridge in our room. The beds were very comfortable and it was a small, cozy place to be for a few days.
Location: 300 meters from the bus station, close to many outdoor activities companies, supermarket is right across the road, close to the Ivalo river.
Apartment: just perfect, with everything you might need for longer stays as well, a super comfortable sitting room and fully equipped kitchen.
Check-in: very smooth and we arrived during holiday (owners were not there).
Owners: very kind and available since the day we booked, they also helped us managing one of our outdoor activity with a local company.
Cozy, clean, and comfortable.
It had the necessary items to refrigerate, eat microwaved meals, and had a kettle for hot drinks.
The check-in and check-out method was seamless.
The location is ideal - 6 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from Ivalo, and within 30 minutes to Saariselka and Inari.
P.S. - You only need to drive a few minutes north of Ivalo to see a spectacular showing of the Northern Lights.
Definitely a great deal for the price.
Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is perfect and I enjoyed everything about the hotel. The breakfast buffet had a wide range of options and was delicious. The food in the restaurant was incredible and I already miss the food from there. The staff were all very professional and so kind and helpful. The rooms were nice and warm and very clean. I'd definitely recommend Hotel Ivalo as a place to stay.
The room was a great size with modern interior, fridge and water kettle. The location is fantastic, right next to Ivalo river. The breakfast buffet, which was included in the price had a variety of options. On top of that the staff was very attentive to my special dietary needs (gluten free).
Absolutely exceptional place to stay. Completely out done any expectations. The cabins are stunning. Have everything you need. We had reindeers right outside our room. The staff were friendly, the food was exceptional, the views are amazing, and its close to the airport.
The house is very nice. In the middle of the forest, but with other houses in the area.
Very close to the center of Ivalo. There are a lot of beds and they are very nice.
There is Wifi internet which is not to fast, but enough for checking your email.
Good price/quality hotel. Rooms were clean, and the staff was friendly. Good location in Ivalo next to the river. Free use of equipment such as ski boots, xc skis, and ice skating shoes was a nice bonus. Activities can be booked at the hotel.
Abosultely beautiful views from the house. The host was extremely flexible with our arrival and departure times. He assisted us with planning some excursions while we were in Ivalo. Very easy to contact! Would 100% stay there again!
We saw the Northern lights on our first night from the hotel
Stuffs are very helpful and nice. They managed early check-in for us
Room was clean and comfy. Bed was very comfortable
Great location
We had a vey nice stay
Incredibly spacious for 2 people. Location is very convenient since it is right across S-Market, the biggest supermarket in Ivalo. The apartment feels very homey as well and has all the amenities that you would need.
The whole atmosphere was magical, with the lake and the snow. The room was comfortable and practical, and facilities (kitchen and sauna) were close by. Highly recommend for an authentic piece of Lapland.
Breakfast very good with great choice of items. Maybe only point of critique is that there was, next to knackebrod, small rolls and croissants, only one type of bread. Ambience of the hotel was great.
We visited Aurora Village as part of our honeymoon. The aurora cabins are amazing, we saw the northern lights from them. The food is tasty and different every day. We wish we booked it for more days.
Good location, right opposite the supermarket in Ivalo, kitchen facilities were very good and clean. Comfortable bed, cosy room, friendly staff, good Internet.
