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.

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!

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).

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.

Ivalo River Camping, hotel in Ivalo

Set a 5-minute drive from Ivalo town center, Ivalo River Camping offers heated cottages with shared kitchen facilities in the summer time, free parking and free WiFi.

We loved our stay here. It is a beautiful location. All around nature and is situated just beside the road. The bus stop is beside the hotel with just a few steps. We reached late at night with the last bus from Rovaniemi city. The owner kept the room key outside of the reception door and easy to check in. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. When we reached there, the whole place was covered with snow ❄️ that was so mesmerising for us. Morning views are so beautiful with snow everywhere. The cabins are warm and comfortable. It has a restaurant and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner until 7 pm. We did our breakfast and dinner for our whole stay here. If you are lucky you can see northern lights here, just you need your eyes up. The restaurant has a common bathroom, kitchen and showers. It’s open 24/7. There is a hiking trail nearby. You need to ask it at the reception. We did it and the trail was covered with snow and snowing in between our hiking too. We were able to meet and talk with local people when we were returning from our hiking. It was nice to know a little more about the locals. You can roam around nearby places if you have a car else there are limited and less frequent public buses to Ivalo town and Saariselka. FYI- we travelled by public bus from Rovaniemi city to here.

    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.

    Ivalo is a quiet place for nature and sport lovers.

    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.

    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.

    We stayed in a one bedroom apartment with a private sauna and absolutely could not have been happier. The sauna was easy to work, the hotel was in the center of Ivalo and very close to everything (this matters when it is -25...), and the staff were great. What's not to love? We will certainly return.

    The room was a great size with modern interior, fridge and water kettle. The location is fantastic, right next to Ivalo river. The breakfast buffet, which was included in the price had a variety of options. On top of that the staff was very attentive to my special dietary needs (gluten free).

    Charming hotel on the shores of Lake Inari. The overall vibe is intimate and slow-paced. Our room had wooden walls, private sauna and was very spacious. Dinner was great both nights we were there, we liked the buffet + main course formula.
