Lapland Hotels Saaga - Yllasjarvi

Lovely views, but cold pool area.

Comprehensive spa facilities

Comprehensive spa facilities, picturesque balcony views, cozy common areas with open fires

The lack of local supermarkets made it cumbersome to stock up on supplies!!! Despite being a winter wonderland, the swimming pool temperature was disappointingly cold for a relaxing dip!!! Invest in better room decor-outdated furniture is a turn-off!!!

The Nordic Apartment was very spacious & modern. All kitchen appliances/cooking utensils were supplied. Apartment close to the Gondola and other restuarants and shops, although a bit of a difficult walk to/from reception in the slippery snow. The TV and DVD player in the apartment were fantastic to spend the night in. The staff were very friendly and helpful and always willing to help, especially working out buses to get to other villages and enquiring and booking taxis. They also very kindly printed some important information as there was no access to a printer.

Transporting luggage was difficult, the only option they could provide was a sledge to transport luggage to/from the rooms which was difficult in the snow. Someone to help with luggage or a snowmobile to drop off the luggage would have been much easier.

Enjoyed our sta a lot! The hote is good combination of moderate price for excellent service. Will definately come there again.

It takes quite a bit of time and effort to reach the place if travelling from Rovaniemi (there's no direct bus to Yullas and flighs are mostly from Helsinki). Hence the best and qickest means of transpot is to rent a car.

Challet suite is nice

Lapland hotels is a great place for relaxation. The swimming pool and spa facilities were good. Breakfast was really good, with a wide variety of delicious options. The staff were really helpful and friendly.

would recommend

As a centre for skiing it was yery good. The slopes were ideal for beginners and expercienced skiiers. A long way to go but worth it as it was not too busy. With the hotel adjacent to the slops made easy. The food at the hotel was good and varied for the week but any longer it would become a bit monotonous. Over all good

Excelent location just next to slopes. Clean and comfortable.

Very nasty breakfast. There was plenty of food, but no taste! Just 8 TV channels, no one of them international, in 21st century is not enough.

100% recommend for a lightning stop

Comfy room, excellent breakfast, with a wide variety of options including freshly baked bread and delicious hot dishes, and a well-located hotel, conveniently situated just a short taxi ride from the main entrance.

We loved the chalet rooms - ideal for a family - and the ice bar!

The buffet was only just a buffet - only two choices, and often cold. the pool was a little bit too cold for comfort, and the hot tubs were tepid tubs. Tourist information was hard to come by - they could market things (e.g. the ice bar) a lot better.

Nordic appartments at Yllas Saaga are very spacious contemporary self- catering well equipped comfortable units. The ski facilities of Yllas are very close (5 min. Walk ) .The Yllas Saaga spa is a good facility. .

The choice of eating out is limited The Saaga hotel spa is not included in the "nordic appartment" price . The appt. Sauna did not work .

The breakfast was a true disappointment, same boring items for four days! Even worse, no coffee or tea, did they run out of supplies? I expected a complimentary upgrade to compensate, but alas, no such luck. I can't fathom how they call the indoor pool a spa when it costs extra! Just couldn't recommend this place.

quite new hotel, spa is good. Front desk not polite as it should.

Nice view to desert or to mountain.

Nordic apartment was excellent choice. High quality with reasonable prize and good location. Highly recommended.

Sound proof would have been better. Nowadays sound proof can be better in modern new buildings like these Ylläs Chatlets.
