Reviews
We had an incredible stay at Aurora Queen Resort. It is a stunning boutique hotel where you truly feel at home from the moment you arrive.
The Personal Touch: What makes this place stand out is the personalized treatment. Nina and Pasi (the owners) and the entire staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. You aren't just another guest; you are treated like family.
The Experience:
• Dining: The food menus were absolutely delicious—every meal was a highlight of our trip.
• Comfort: The rooms are very comfortable and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need.
• Atmosphere: Since it’s a small hotel, there are no crowds. It’s peaceful and intimate, making it ideal for couples or families with small children, though I would personally classify it more as an adult-oriented retreat.
Location & Logistics: The hotel is a bit tucked away from Saariselka, If you don't have a car, transfers can be a bit pricey. However, this is easily managed by renting a car or booking activities that include pick-up services.
Honestly, we have no complaints. It was an amazing trip and we can’t wait to go back!
Awesome glass ceiling cabins that are cozy and beautifully designed. Great finely cooked food. And, above all, amazing warm hospitaly that makes you feel like a family member.
Highly recommend!
Dinner was a highlight — delicious, hearty, and included in our stay, which made things super convenient. The buffet breakfast was also great, with plenty of options to fuel up before a day of exploring.
If you’re looking for a serene winter getaway with cozy vibes and stunning snowy landscapes, this is the place. We loved every minute!
