Hotels near Luosto, Sodankyla

We stayed at this beautiful hotel for 3 nights early December as part of the TUI package to Lapland. On-route to the hotel we stopped off to get our winter gear. Transfer around 1hour 30mins. The resort of Luosto has a few hotels, ski slope, souvenir shops and reasonable priced supermarket. The average cost for a glass of wine and beer is £10+ . Room: Very spacious, we had a double bed and sofa bed in another room. Sauna was an added bonus. If you wanted any housekeeping you just had to ask at the front desk. We stored our snow gear in the ground floor heated room which was handy. Location: The hotel was just a 5 minute walk to the ski slope. As a family of 3 we all had a 45 minute lesson for around £130. This is where you can also sledge and go tubing this cost us 20 euros for as long as you liked. I highly recommend this it was so much fun. There is also a nice restaurant/bar here. Staff: I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff who were always helpful and friendly. Also small bar area and nice seats by the log fire. Restaurant: Lovely restaurant area and friendly staff. We were half board breakfast was a continental option with lots of choice including porridge. We were half board and the food was fresh and delicious. We didn’t have a choice it was just a set 3 course but luckily we are not fussy eaters. We were a bit disappointed that there was no children’s menu as there was no way my son would eat reindeer or fish soup. So we had a takeaway from a lovely restaurant just down the road called Puna Kettu. Here you could have lovely pizzas and fries. Trips: We had the taster sessions on the Saturday where you have a try of the reindeer ride, husky, snow mobile - I would say just around a few minutes but sometimes that is enough for the younger ones. This day was around -20 but lovely cabins to have a hot chocolate and warm up by the fire. When we went to see Santa this lasted under 60 seconds wasn’t personal and he looked very fake. So that aspect of it was very disappointing. We paid extra for the night snow mobile tour which was 3 hours. We stopped off in a hut half way through the journey to light a fire and to have berry juice. We are so glad we done the trip as we were so lucky to see the Northern Lights. We also paid for the husky ride which was 2 hours, this was a great trip again where you have the chance to meet the dogs and drive the sled. Again these were cold days around -20. On the return home we stopped off in Santa Village, lots of souvenir shops. I have rated the hotel a 4* due to there being no child menu at the hotel. I think they should offer fries at least as guests at the other hotels had a separate menu for children. We would love to return to Lapland but unfortunately it cost so much money. It was something we are so glad we experienced and created so many memories, such a beautiful and picturesque place. You will not be disappointed going to this hotel and it comes highly recommended.

We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children aged 5 and 9. We found the cabin to have everything we needed for our stay. It was clean and the communication from the key holder was good. The location was perfect for us being quiet and away from the centre, b

Third time staying at this cabin now. The facilities, area and ease of booking are outstanding. One minor point is the seating arrandements. In previous years they had a large, L-shaped sofa that could easily fit 4 to 6 people. This has been replaced with

Very well equipped, modern cottage in a very quiet, secluded location. We liked te spacious living room / kitchen with the big windows. 1 bedroom plus a gallery with 2 beds so more for a family of 4 than 4 adults. 1,5 hour drive out from Rovaniemi is mana

We wanted a cabin to spend a few days in Luosto with the children and it was perfect. The location is incredible and the house is great. The only downside is that it has quite steep stairs and if you go with very young children you have to be careful.

Well equipped spacious cottage, spacious enough for at least 5 people. Decent beds, however, for eight can be found. Two toilets. There were enough dishes, the bedding was of good quality. A small complaint about the quality of cleaning, the dust was by.

Holiday home Mervinrinne was an absolute winter wonderland. The location is remote but just perfect. Surrounded by trees covered in snow we walked in to a cabin that was warm toasty and incredible! It was clean & homely. The photos do not do it justice. I
