Hotel Ivalo, hotel in Ivalo

This Finnish Lapland hotel is located on both the Ivalo River and the E75 motorway. It offers free WiFi access, an indoor swimming pool and free evening sauna access.

I had a super nice room overlooking the river which was frozen and was used as a road for snow mobiles and pedestrians alike. The bed was comfortable and location was good (about 8 mins from the main bus station, about 12 from the shop). Internet worked well, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly.

Kultahippu Hotel & Apartments, hotel in Ivalo

This hotel is located along the Ivalo River in Ivalo town center. It offers three buildings for accommodations, free parking and sauna access.

This hotel is exceptionally clean and well-designed. Breakfasts were very good as well. We also ate lunch and dinner at the restaurant and had exceptional meals. I especially liked their sweet potato soup. The two ladies who staffed the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the toilet and the lady on duty immediately fixed it herself. The other lady helped us with our taxi and questions about getting to Inari, the next town with the Sami museum, and advised us about the nightclub. This was a wonderful way to end our excellent trip to Finland!

Ukonjärven Holiday Village, hotel in Ivalo

Located 6.8 mi from Ivalo town center, Ukonjärven Holiday Village offers chalets with free Wi-Fi access and flat-screen TV.

This location was about 15 min from the town of Ivalo (you need a car to get here). It was a beautiful and quiet location on Lake Inari with lake access. We enjoyed snow shoeing on the frozen lake! Our chalet had 2 bedrooms (two single beds in each room), 1 bathroom (heated floors) that had a sauna attached, a kitchen (coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle), dining table, living room area with a smart tv and access to streaming services (you need to use your own login), and fireplace (wood provided).

Aurora Village Ivalo, hotel in Ivalo

Aurora Village Ivalo is located in Ivalo and offers cabins with a glass roof, offering the possibility to spot the Northern Lights from the bed.

Breakfast and dinner were included in our plan during our stay. Both were very good and dinner can be classified as "fine dining". The best thing for the room was that there were no lights around when we were looking out from the windows and thus could see the Northern Lights even in the room. Toiletries in the rooms were just brilliant. Staff were so helpful. Loved the classic type Finnish sauna.

    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.

    Best place to view Northern lights.

    Best place to view Northern lights. Unique Husky ride , and snow mobile tours. Winter sports like skiing , cross country , snow walking. Dreamy Winter Wonderland landscape ! Everything covered in snow is a picture perfect view . Stay in a Glass Igloo cabin to view Northern lights ( weather permitted) Renting a car is highly recommended , easy to get around even on an icy road . We used Alamo . Excellent car . Book all your tours in advance to avoid disappointment . Have fun and enjoy the cold . Be prepare to bring thermal clothing . Ivalo is a perfect Winter Wonderland Destination !

    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!

    Very nice location by the lake and close to another lake. Ivalo is 10 minutes away by car. Loved the forest, wonderful autumn colors, as the ruska season was in full bloom. Accommodation was spacious, with everything you need. Also a thank you note to the host, who at check-in asked what would I like to do during the holiday, and when I mentioned photography she searched few northern lights books that I could borrow for inspiration. Was a good choice, as there were couple of nights when the Northern Lights showed up.

    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 room (for 3 people) was spacious, clean and newly renovated. The hotel spa had nice sauna and jacuzzi. Also it was amazing that you can take a dip in River Ivalo straight from the sauna! Breakfast was fresh and diverse. We also dined in the hotel restaurant where the local cuisine was great. All staff members were very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

    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.

    Very nice spot, in the middle of the forest, near by a lake. The cottage was very comfy, cleaned, well equiped and very big for 2 people. The perfect quiet place but you need a car. Parking place in front of the cottage. Ivalo is 10 minutes away by car.
