We stayed at the Tunturi in Feb 2013. It was a late booking through Inghams and the Geilas was our preferred choice but fully booked. The main block provides all the services, bar and restaurants with accommodation in a number of blocks on the complex within a few hundred metres. The rooms were clean, warm and well appointed but a... More

We stayed in one of the old buildings (i.e. not Gielas), and as other reviewers have said, it is more of a motel than a hotel. I think the hotel is from the 60s and hasn't received a face lift since. Rooms have two beds rather than a double bed. This said, you don't spend much time in the rooms,... More

We came here as a big group as part of our Lapland Safari adventure. The hotel offered excellent sleep quality with what seems to be standard in Lapland - a built-in sauna in my room! The breakfast was OK, but the most memorable was certainly the adventure itself. The hotel was apparently good enough for Finland's Prime-minister to hold an... More

This is a mixed compound with varying levels of accomodation. Due to a mistake in the arrangements I was checked into the wrong accomodations at Santa's Hotel Tunturi. I spent one night in the SIUPULI wing, very dreary, felt like a motel. The receptionist insisted that there were no such thing as a double bed accom despite my booking and... More

We stayed at Tunturi hotel from 29/2/13-2/3/13 whilst in Saariselka for a friends wedding in the nearby Kakslauttenan igloo village. We had an amazing trip (aside from the wedding) and were very lucky to see the Aurora borealis every night we were there. The first thing I'd like to point out about this hotel is that the quality of the... More

We flew on "Santa's aeroplane" with 70 children doing gangnam style in the aisle, pass the loo roll, a Santa's got talent show.... a fun start which continued right through the holiday.

We travelled with Inghams and stayed in an accomodation block of the Tunturi (no rooms in the main block - only reception, dining and entertainment) which was 5 minute walk away from room. The room was comfortable with underfloor heating in the bathroom. Our second floor room looked West across the fells and had a lovely view through the snowy... More

My husband and two children aged 6 and 4 stayed in the Geilus wing during December 2011 with a Espirit holiday. We had the most amazing time and would recommend this holiday to anybody thinking of doing Lapland at Christmas time. The whole trip was perfectly organised with no hiccups along the way. The whole Father Christmas experience was magical.... More

well after last year, we decided to come back but booking into the Guilas for the whole holiday. We had a 4th floor apartment overlooking the forest and opposite hills. We explored even further afield this year and tried the skiiing, the button lift, the chair lift and some others. I have never skied before and was petrified but the... More

Booked through Inghams and they were great. David, the resort rep was always there if needed, a fountain of local knowledge but not pushy. We stayed in the Geilas wing of the Tunturi Hotel and thought that the rooms were perfect. A drying cabinet, sauna, lovely modern bathroom, big sofas and really comfortable beds. The room had a balcony with... More
