Santa's Hotel Tunturi Reviews

Lapland activity day was absolutely lovely

Reviewed 5 Jul 2024

The experience was amazing but the hotel, or at least the building we stayed in, was poor.



It was more “youth hostel” like I would say if I’m being brutally honest. The room for our family of five was absolutely tiny and we were away from the main building. We had to get dressed each time to go for dinner etc. as opposed to coming from the hotel rooms within the main building. It just felt like going to get a drink from the bar or going for meals was just an effort each time, as you had to get fully dressed up and do the 5min walk each time.



The transfers were very well organised, and the staff were great. If we were to go back again, we’d just look for a different hotel.



We did have a lovely time, but I certainly wouldn’t rush back to this particular hotel. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I would have normally given it a 4/5* rating but the hotel let us down, hence the 3* review.

The food was shocking. I have to be honest, and we’re not fussy eaters, but the food was really inedible. The food was cold, the variety wasn’t great at all and it was like being in a youth hostel essentially.

It was purely the hotel food that let us down, everything else was great.

The actual Lapland day and activities was lovely and we had an amazing time with the kids. All the external stuff (outside of the hotel) was amazing and lovely.
