Ruka Suites Reviews

Great if you have children

Reviewed 20 May 2014

The apartments are quite modern and clean.
I would definitely recommend staying here to families with small children over the Ruka log cabins, which are nice to stay in but are quite far out, it’s a long walk or bus ride to get to the skiing whereas these apartments are really close to the slopes. The kids could more or less ski back - they’d come off the slopes and use their poles to push past the restaurants right up to the door. You’re also right in the centre of the resort with the nearest supermarket just a 2 minute walk away.
Our friends were in the apartment right next door which was great as the children could pop in and out.
We had the bigger apartment which had 3 bedrooms. It was so nice having a proper oven as opposed to just a hot plate. Buying food is quite expensive there, although you can pay for half board if you want to. The suites were quite short of utensils and things like the tin opener were very basic and hard to use, but there were enough plates, knives and forks.
The sauna inside was brilliant.
The reps gave us pull along sledges which was good fun for getting around and you could also pull the shopping back.
