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.
This Finnish Lapland holiday village is situated right by the Ivalo River. It offers double rooms, holiday cottages, a caravan area, summer cottages and a camping area.

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.

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.
More than 5 Stars! Petteri is definitely the best Host that we ever had! Great Apartment with amazing Location directly to the Forest! Very, very, very friendly and helpful Host. We made an Snowmobile- and Aurora-Tour with Petteri which was both fantastic as well! Also the Transfer from Airport to Appartment and back was really good. Even a few days before we arrived Petteri contacted us regarding the Aurora Forecast. That shows that Petteri tryes everything to make his Guests happy. We will come back as soon as possible!
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.
The location and accommodation is perfect and relaxing. The cabin was clean and the views across the lake from the many windows were exceptional. Had the Northern Lights been active, we could have seen them easily from the living room. It is located an easy distance from both Ivalo and Inari for dining options. Parking was directly beside the cabin. SmartTV and WiFi worked great.
Perfect place for a trip in Lapland! The location of the camping is great for seeing the Northern Lights since it is a place far from the city lights. We enjoyed the comfortable, clean and quiet cabin. The stuff is very welcoming and keep to help you with everything! You can easily access Ivalo centre by bus for food groceries and then cook in the camping’s shared kitchen.
We stayed here for one night at the end of our trip to Lapland. The staff was communicative and helpful for all the pre-arrival logistics. The location is interesting, right next to a frozen lake and guests have snow shoes and sledges available to use. We also saw aurora from our rooms while lying in bed which was lovely.
Exceptional location, amazing staff, so helpful. A family-run business and Nangu surely must be the jewel in the hotel group. Only stayed one night (sadly) in our Finland tour before we flew back to London and what a way to end our holiday. Thank you to Essi and her team. We will return.
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!
Hotel provides waterproof suits during your stay. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. The staffs in the reception are very kind and friendly. The location is near a river where can see the north light.
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.
The best? The people working there! Also the location: we could actually see the northernlights from the frozen river nearby or go skiing from the hotel to the river and forest
Very clean and comfortable. Great location, near the Ivalo town and airport. The resort area is very nice, next to the river. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Good location, right opposite the supermarket in Ivalo, kitchen facilities were very good and clean. Comfortable bed, cosy room, friendly staff, good Internet.
