Salla, Lapland hotel rooms at the Independent

"Sauna in room is great. Able to access by code on arrival. "

"First time going to Ruka/Finland, definitely plan on going every year."

"Fantastic location and apartment. I was a bit unsure about getting there and what would be there for us when we did, but it all turned out perfect. The bus transfer from Rovenheim train station was a doddle. Its actually called the Ski Bus and runs 4 times a day. On arrival the place was a magical winter wonderland and buzzing with activity. The beds were comfy and in the morning you could quite literally ski from your doorstep, down the slope and straight onto the ski lift. "

"Nice hôtel with a fantastic breakfast."

"- no room service for 3 day stay - no wifi - only 2 coffee pads for the whole stay - no windows that can be opened, bad air - sauna costs €275 extra - no shuttle to the city (without a car you are trapped) - bathroom much too small (only wet room) - fat bikes were broken, they wanted €80 for 2 hours - very unfriendly staff - no space at all in the ponds, really little! - restaurant currently closed, no information about this in advance - no shuttles to the city Summary: for the price of a 5* hotel you get 1* accommodation with very unfriendly staff - never again!!!"
