Place to be for a skier
The room was a great place for a skier, the slopes are just outside of the door! Simple but clean, very nice staff!

Our stay was exactly what my fiancé and I were hoping for! The room had absolutely everything needed for a ski trip. It had a spectacular view with both a hot tub and sauna. It was spacious, equipped with all the kitchen necessities, and was close to the rentals and gondola. Not too mention all the nearby restaurants and shops. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay.

Great accommodation and centrally located. We stayed as a family in a 2 bedroom apartment and it came equipped with full kitchen, lovely seating area, double shower and sauna. The views from the apartment were amazing and with it being so central getting to all local amenities was very easy

The hotel/apartments were great, amazing location, fully equipped apartment... The only downside was the food, we stayed half board so had breakfast in the Colorado bar, the selection was very limited and they only had one 2 slice toaster which was very frustrating. The staff were also rude and very unhelpful. Dinner was in the piste restaurant, staff were very friendly and there was a kids play area which was great. However the food selection was very poor: 2 meat options, one veg and one potato and the only drinks available were water and coffee. Each meal worked out at £26 per person per night, it was definitely not worth that when you can buy a large pizza over the road for £14! We have already booked again for next year but this time self-catering!

Ruka Finland was a great location, we went with Crystal Ski. Alleged transfer was 25 mins it took us well over an hour. Also had to wait at the airport as our coach was still being used by others waiting to get in to the airport. Very small airport and limited capacity with crystal bringing so many people in a small time frame put a strain on the airport. That said all the airport staff were very helpful and friendly. Crystal communications are poor. Welcome letter had different information than what we were told. Even got a text that contradicted the letter and that was sent late. We went to the welcome talk and again got different info that should have been passed on arrival. That was the last we saw of Crystal reps until departure. The apartment was great sauna was great after skiing and room very good. Really great getting into the room with the code. Food was awful. Do not do half-board. Self-catering is the way. Evening meal first night was told to order off the menu. This was wrong and there was a hot (was not hot, lukewarm at best) and cold buffet. Pudding was frozen still one night. Buffet was out long before we got to it and you could tell. That said one or two mains were nice the salmon and lasagna. The fish on Friday was bad. Plenty of places to eat, but not cheep, pizzeria lukewarm was a short walk out of the village and was very nice. Skiing is for beginners but was still enjoyed the skiing. Wind was an issue and the gondola was closed most of the week. Night skiing was also fun.

Second visit to Ruka and stay at this hotel booked through crystal. Location is brilliant. Meters from the gondola and all the shops and restaurants. Rooms are clean tidy and perfect set up with fridge microwave hob kettle etc, everything but an oven in the 2 bed studio. Welcomed the bath and sauna after a ski. Only real criticisms are that the boot room is a bit tight and whilst there is a bar downstairs, there is no real reception area. Bar and restaurant is western themed and a little dark as a result. Breakfast was basic but nice. Could do with more than an a two slot toaster serving the whole restaurant. If I was staying in Ruka village again I would probably comeback here. Kept checking the web cam each night and saw the northern lights twice from the top of slope 6 behind the gondola, Homemade ring doughnuts from the cafe in the centre of town are not to be missed

The apartment was in a good location in the middle of Ruka village. We liked the apartment's own sauna and balcony. The equipment of the apartment was also good. There were a lot of signs of use everywhere, such as the bathroom cabinet and countertop. The sounds of the party crowd and the thump of the bass could be heard clearly in the room so if you're looking for a quiet place, I wouldn't recommend this at least on the weekend. Breakfast was nothing special, only a limited basic selection.

This hotel was the perfect spot to stay in Ruka! Very close to the lifts, boarding was sick! Never been that cold in my life, I’m a born and raised Texan but it sure was fun to experience it. Very comfortable room for my friends and I. Great bar and restaurant downstairs! Staff was very friendly. I did leave my goggles and would love to get them back if possible, I sent an email but haven’t heard back. Other than that, loved the stay and would definitely stay there if I ever find myself in Ruka again.
