Another evening, we went to dinner at 6.50 (as dinner is served until 8pm) to be told, the restaurant was closing at 7 for a private function! We had not been notified and were told a sign was in reception and in the lift. However, due to our room location we did not use visit any of these areas so was totally unaware. When we spoke to someone regarding this, they did apologise and acknowledge that it could have been better communicated.....however no offer of any discount etc!
Our party included two 77 year olds, a 5 year old and 9 year old.
Basically, we love Levi and will be back but not to this hotel. Total lack of customer service especially considering the cost.
Room was available at 2pm on day of arrival, however, check in time is officially 4pm and the man behind reception was incredibly rude in his explanation to another family when they were a little disappointed that they had a 2 hour wait ahead of them. Room cleaning is only completed on request, however, everytime I have asked, it has always been done! Rooms are dated and seriously need a refurb however certainly doesn’t impact your holiday. Do bring your own hairdryer as the ones provided by the hotel are terrible and, due to the cold weather, an absolute necessity. Heating cupboard for drying out damp clothes is absolutely brilliant!
Location is very good - I had slight concerns that we would feel a little out of the way (however the separate beds for my 12 & 10 year rather than a shared sofa bed, meant it would have been worth it) however I was wrong! The walk into town is literally 5 mins and absolutely no bother and really quite lovely. Sleds are plentiful for younger family members and I think they would probably chose to have the ‘walk’.
Now for the biggest down point of the hotel, food! We were on a half board package. Breakfast is not too bad. Hot options of sausage, bacon, beans, hash browns, porridge. Cold meats and cheeses, lots of breads, cereals. However dinner was pretty dire. The food was barely warm, not much choice and what was there tasted as if it had been sitting for way too long. We have eaten out every night since experiencing the first dinner, so just be aware you may want to budget for that if you come half board. Restaurants are plentiful in town, however still worth making a reservation.



The room was adequate for our needs however it was cold . We found reception staff not that friendly walking through no one acknowledged you .
We asked for someone to check the radiator and we were given a fan heater which to be honest didn’t do the job so in the 4 night we were there the room wasn’t warm .
You only got your room clean if you requested it we asked for clean towels but was told they had ran out so we would have to wait .
The food was basic breakfast was fine however the evening meal was awful and again the food was cold . They also covered up the juice machine so if you wanted a drink you had to pay for them . Again this trip was for our grandchildren they love playing outside in the snow . The hotel corridors was noisy at night with family coming back late I guess however this is not the hotels fault . We booked this trip through Ing which I feel certain things weren’t has clear has they should of been but I will take this up with them after all the holiday was a lot of money .
Beds in the rooms are the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept in, the shower just sprayed water all over the bathroom instead of on yourself.
A large number of children came down with a sickness bug while being here including my own children. With how many children caught the bug it struck me that cleanliness isn’t key with this hotel.
If you’re going to go for your breakfast or tea make sure you have your key card as the rude staff will turn you away for their error. We absolutely loved Lapland and have had the best holiday but wouldn’t stay at this hotel again, nor travel with tui.


The room was outdated, and a shoe box for what we paid £2700 for 3 nights half board was Dusty and the door to the balcony was broken, when we went upstairs for tea, it was dark and dingy and you couldn't see the food properly or the labels saying what it was, no choice for kids, specially when it was a 3 night trip to see santa, there was 1 choice of food that's it and is was discussing. We ended up going to Levi Spa for food.
Beds are comfy but that's it cause at 5am each morning we were rudly awoken by what I can only describe and a wheeled trolly gonig back and forth and hitting the wall on each side, light switches being turned on and off constantly, the floor being brushed and drawers being opened and slammed shut every few seconds. I complained to reception about it each day and each day I was given a shoulder shrug that it was the kitchen. There was tea and coffee supplies but no mugs. No phone in the room to ring reception either. And on 1 day I went to the bar area to ask for 2 bowls and 2 spoons cause we went the supermarket for some breakfast and I was offered a sieve. The staff spoke and understood English perfectly and was told 'sorry no bowls and spoons. I stood my ground and made her move into the back to get me them after I told her the food was grotest and not edable.
The Ingham reps in this hotel were disorganised and hard to find. This is not a 4 star hotel. Haydarpasha Palace in Turkey is a 4 star hotel. I'm Sooo disappointed with the accommodation and if it wasn't for the resort it's self which is the best because I have been 3 times on snowboarding holidays and stayed in the levilehto chalets, we would not of enjoyed our self's. There is so much to do in resort for kids so many great trips there is no need to be in your hotel we were outside from 8.30am till 8pm every night. You can feed the reindeers at k5 Hotel. Sledding all day. Great trips snowmobiling, husky sledding, snowshoeing, horse riding, reindeer sledding, and the snow suits we hired and boots were great kept us warm all day. Maybe a little to warm. And obviously skiing and snowboarding. But I would defo say do not book this hotel. Its just awful it should be a half a star hotel and that's me being generous. Its not worth your money. Go to k5 or levi Spa or levilehto chalets

I've stayed in levi before at the levi spa, and I have to say the crazy reindeer for me was probably better overall. It isn't a fancy 5 * hotel but for what it was and location it was more than enough. Personally I would stay here again and would recommend it
"It's a very tired hotel and the staff don't seem to care anymore. The food is dire, limited choice, over-salted, and unhelpful staff."Read full review
