Ruka Ski Chalets Reviews

Brilliant Apartments

Reviewed 19 Jul 2020

We took our granddaughter to Lapland to see Santa, it was important to use that we stayed in clean well equipped accommodation that was also central to all amenities. Ruka was recommended to us by separate groups of friends as being ideal for all levels of skiing as well as not overly commercialised. They stayed at different accommodations and although adequate for their needs it was not luxury accommodation. We decided to stay at Ruka ski apartments and were truly delighted. The accommodation was spacious and immaculate. The woman at the front receptions was friendly and helpful. Her equally friendly daughter works at the nearby cafe/bar where we would go for breakfast on some mornings. The cooking facilities, crockery cutlery and linens in the apartment were quality as were the beds. It was lovely coming home to a warm apartment and having a hot sauna. There is a ski locker inside of the hotel where you can leave your skiing equipment, The locker is assigned to your apartment and holds a lot. It is indoors and heated. Their is a large drying cabinet for your gear. There is a fab restaurant directly under the apartments, they had a great 3 course lunch menu which was excellent. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to our grandaughter. We did eat at other places within the resort, however this restaurant proved to offer the best service and food. I am looking to go back this year to the same apartments. I highly recommend them for the reasons given and the friendliness of the staff. Theresa Litchfield
