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!

Wilderness Hotel Nangu & Igloos, hotel in Ivalo

Wilderness Hotel Nangu & Igloos is located right by Lake Inari, offering lake views and accommodations in beautiful log buildings.

We loved our little glass hut with an amazing view of trees and the frozen lake Inari. It was amazing to see the Northern lights through our roof and to use the daytime for cross-country skiing over the lake.

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.

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.

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).

    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.

    This location on the lake was perfect and felt secluded from the town of Ivalo but was not too far away- make sure you have a car. We could book a time to use the sauna (30 euros) as long as we told them when we wanted it ready so there was enough time for it to warm up. We were also able to borrow snowshoes for free. There was a communal kitchen that we were able to use and we had a kettle, microwave, and mini fridge in our room. The beds were very comfortable and it was a small, cozy place to be for a few days.

    Location: 300 meters from the bus station, close to many outdoor activities companies, supermarket is right across the road, close to the Ivalo river. Apartment: just perfect, with everything you might need for longer stays as well, a super comfortable sitting room and fully equipped kitchen. Check-in: very smooth and we arrived during holiday (owners were not there). Owners: very kind and available since the day we booked, they also helped us managing one of our outdoor activity with a local company.

    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.

    Great cottage in the middle of the forest. Perfect spot to spend a few nights with friends and explore the Ivalo and Inari area. The kitchen is very well-equipped, the living room is cozy and the bedrooms are comfortable. Bed linen and towels are provided. We had an issue with the sauna and the host was very responsive and made her best to resolve the situation as soon as possible. Highly recommend!

    Room was exactly as the pictures, nice, clean and warm. It was located in a separate building but not a problem. Breakfast was okay as well. We travelled end of November and Ivalo was veeery quiet, same for the hotel/activities proposed.
