Stayed at the hotel on a last minute deal through inghams. the rooms were very basic and were in desperate need of refurbishment. Rooms were not cleaned on a daily basis, the only thing the cleaners did was empty the bin and replace the towels. a good thing was the bus picked you up right outside the door of the... more

We stayed in the main hotel and although the rooms weren't luxurious, they had everything you need. The furniture is basic but sturdy and clean, the ensuite bathroom is actually a wet room with a shower but no bath, and the water is lovely - both for washing and drinking. There is a kettle in the room, and a mini-bar... more

The cabins and hotel were recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed – it was a romantic and magical place to stay! There is a short walk from the main building to the cabins, but if you have heavy suitcases it can seem a little longer than it really is. We bought plastic sledges from the shop nearby... more

My fiance and I have just returned from a 7-night stay at the Akashotelli (also known as the Snow Elf) in Yllas, Lapland and it was the best holiday we have ever had. We went with First Choice who provided a brilliant and very friendly service and the hotel was great. I want to stress that I am extremely fussy... more

This is a 3 star hoyel and it more than meets the 3 stars. Comfortable rooms - nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Yllas is great. The hotel food was just fine, not much choice but quality was good. Meal times wre too early in evening , all ended at 7pm! we went via First Choice for their New Year... more

We choose to... more

We have just come back from a 4 night stay booked through first choice for our honeymoon, we loved it, if you are looking for 5* this is not the hotel for you, but if you want to do winter activities,or just be a big kid and not stay in your room give it a try. The hotel itself was... more

We spend 7 days at the Akas hotel in Lapland in December 2007. Lapland was magical and highly recommended for everyone who would like to experience a real Christmas! The hotel was a different story all together! The staff was very unhelpful and the hotel itself is dated and the rooms are basic with a very small and basic bathroom.... more

We stayed at this hotel, also known as the Snow Elf, for 3 nights from the 2 December. We went on a package with First Choice, flying from East Midlands. The flight was ok, paying for premier seemed a bit of a waste of money since I was frequently disturbed by cabin crew getting stuff out of the overhead locker... more
