Wilderness Hotel Juutua

Ravintolassa olisi suotavaa, että henkilökunta osaisi edes auttavaisesti suomea, koska olemme Suomessa. Henkilökunta oli ihanan ystävällistä ja ravintola tasokas. Huone uusi, siisti, pieni ja ilmanvaihto huono (kuuma) oli pakko avata ikkuna. Jonkinlainen taso sängynpäätyyn olisi hyvä

Hotel is nice and restaurant excellent 👌 .. Old side rooms are little small but it's fine and clean. Restaurant was quite full booked that time at make sure that you book a table at good time before. Other wise excellent location and nice nature on side of hotel, river and cts

This place is a hidden gem. Second time here and we'll defenitely come again. We highly recommend the juutua suite. And what a new Koski sauna!! There were spa atmosphere, amazing place. Perfect place to relax. We ate at the Aanaar - again, and it was amazing - again. Maybe the best menu ever here. The cocktails is best in the whole country. Customer servie was so polite and friendly for the whole stay. You have to experience this place!

Very nice hotel, great location woth lake views, amazing staff and delicious breakfast. One thing to criticise is the size of the room; it’s very small. I highly recommend the hotel in Inari to anyone looking for a clean, comfy stay in Lapland

This is the second hotel for the Wilderness chain of hotels in Inari, taken over a couple of years ago. It's smaller than the other hotel (Wilderness Inari) but it has had a lot of investment particularly in the restaurant and the bar. The restaurant and the food wouldn't be out of place in a city centre and the offerings are of a high standard. Not everything will be to your taste but all the dishes are beautifully created and the service is excellent. The wine choice is limited but we settled on the local Finnish blueberry wine which was robust enough to compliment the reindeer steak in a red wine sauce. Our package had full board and the food is plentiful and delicious. You could describe the hotel as a restaurant with some rooms. The backdrop to the bar and the restaurant is a winter scene overlooking the wide expanse of the river which flows into Lake Inari. It is a beautiful setting. As regards the accommodation the new owners appear to have opted for a makeover rather than refurbishment as there is a limit the changes they might make with the layout they have inherited with it's jumble of rooms and connecting sections. Accomodation is better in the neighbouring Wilderness Hotel but you wouldn't have access to their excellent restaurant. The Wilderness Juutua also scores with its proximity to the centre of Inari and it's (frozen) lake which meant a number of guests were able to walk out on the lake in the evening to see the aurora. If accommodation is one of your criteria go to the other hotel but you'd miss out on the location and the restaurant. The activities available are the same as the other hotels so not worth commenting other than they are 'must do' including the snowmobiles and snowshoeing. Finally the staff are really helpful and cope with an almost full hotel with charm and friendliness over an intense winter season. They really are the stars along with the food.
