great experience
My stay at Star Arctic Hotel was one of the best experiences I had. I stayed the glass ceiling cabin which was very cozy and very clean. The staff was very hospitable and attending, they go above and beyond to help you especially Hanna. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends.

Really positive stay and we loved the room except for a few negatives: Tv is positioned way too high up to the ceiling. We could hear the neighbors in our room in the morning. Stairs up to the bed kind of almost damgerous Lobby is disappointing, only one couch to sit by the fire

Fantastic sauna rooms
We had a great time at this hotel. Our room had a private sauna, which we used several times and really enjoyed. The room was large and comfortable. The hotel itself is located outside of town and a little confusing to get to the first time (especially as it gets dark very early). It's also a higher elevation than the area around it to try and increase Northern Lights viewing. We actually found that did not help us see the Lights, as there was often a lot of fog which blocked the lights. But it wasn't hard for us a drive a short distance for better viewing. The staff was varied. Several went out of their way to be helpful and give advice/suggestions. One or two seemed like we were bothering them when asking questions. Breakfast had a lot of options, but we found the food bland. All in all, we really enjoyed this hotel and would stay here again.

Excellent hotel overall. We had the Aurora Cabin. Rooms are extremely comfortable and well thought out. Heated floors, comfortable bed, heated windows for the night sky view. Bathroom well designed. Breakfast is included and there’s plenty to choose from : the usual toast and spreads, cereal, hot food (eggs/bacon/sausages etc), yogurt with plenty of toppings, cheeses and cold cuts, fruit and desserts. Plenty of hot drinks on the machine to choose from and the hot choc was great! Dinner at Kaunis was excellent and well worth trying. Staff extremely polite and friendly. 30 min walk to Saariselka town in the snow. I suggest renting a car. No complaints here and we are already planning our next trip.

Excellent property! A perfect location if one wants to see the Northern Lights, especially with the glass roofed bedroom. Perfect breakfast! Perfect staff! The door of the room was a bit loose and with the very powerful (and apparently uncharacteristic) winds in the area, the door kept squeaking throughout the night. The noise of the wind was very loud in the room. It would be nice to finish the pavement outside the rooms or between adjoining rooms perhaps. But, overall amazing!

Hotelli upealla paikalla ja henkilökunta erittäin ystävällistä. Aamiaiset ja ruoka hyvää. Kaikki toimi moitteettomasti. Ainoa miinus oli, että expedian varaus aurora mökistä oli kääntynyt hotellilla normaali huoneeksi ja ehdimme tyhjentää tavarat sisään ennenkuin kävin kysymässä asiasta. Saimme kuitenkin heti vaihdettua uuteen paikkaan.

Brilliant hotel, we went for the northern lights and skiing and found the hotel to be a perfect choice. It was approx 50metres to the perfect place to see the northern lights and the ski lift was a similar distance or you could take the toboggan slide which was a lot of fun. Breakfasts were brilliant and rooms really well stocked with a microwave / fridge and hob. Heated cupboards for drying clothes after the slopes! Evening meal was lovely although the menu didn’t change (only 5 items to pick from) so might be worth trying a trip into the town centre which is 2.6km away. Excellent for kids too! Great place would go back!

We loved the hotel, we stayed in an aurora cabin, it was nice, cute, and it was lovely over looking the snow from bed, the stars were amazing. I’m not sure if you’d get to see the northern lights from there, definitely not as well as in a trip as there’s a bit of light pollution from cars and you get a reflection from the neighbours cabin if their light is on. But the hotel was lovely and a great location, you’re at the top of the ski lift, so you can sledge into town or to the ski resort to hire skis and a lift pass. We had a great stay thankyou

Visiting Lapland
We were visiting Saariselka for a Wedding and chose to stay at Star Arctic. The location of the hotel gives amazing views and is situated at the top of the ski slope, allowing you to ski, toboggan or take the ski lift down to the town. Walking down/up however takes around 35 mins. We felt the hotel could have provided a shuttle bus service into the town as the hotel only has one restaurant with quite a restricted menu. There is only one other restaurant close to the hotel (2 minutes walk) however this closes at 5pm with the Ski slope and not an option for dinner. The room was a good size, well presented and clean. There were 2 days however where towels were not changed and house keeping did not make up the room. The stairs that take you up to the bedroom are extremely steep and narrow, which may make it inaccessible for older people or dangerous for children. The buffet breakfast provided was nice but again quite limited in terms of choice. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The excursion we did was the Aurora Snowmobile Hunting, which was really great and would definitely recommended.
