Lapland Hotel Kilpis

Absolute disaster, stay away from this place at all cost. Rooms are terrible, tiny, smelly (air quality?), no chair, no desk, no wifi, very crammed. Don't use a double room with two persons. The main scandal is they charge unbelievable 175€/night! Worth max 60€/night, any youth hostel is better than this. Breakfast was plentiful, but layout confusing.

Lovely motel that had friendly staff, good breakfast, great location. Close to hiking and close to the lake. Breakfast had a diverse choice of hot and cold foods. Rooms could use an update but was clean and quiet. There is a sauna on the lake, but e didn't have time to use

I’ve stayed in Lapland Hotels before in different cities and due to that I’ve come to have certain expectations with the hotels. They’ve all been very nice and of good quality, and the prices have matched this high quality as well. This hotel on the other hand was an exception and a bad one at that. The building needs some serious maintenance and renovation. It feels as though the building hasn’t been touched since it has been built and it also looks and smells like it. The rooms that we got didn’t match the ones that we had in our reservation and what was showing on the hotel’s website. This felt like false marketing to us, we certainly didn’t get what we were expecting. The rooms were a huuuge dissapointment. They would be fine for the price of maybe 60e/night at maximum, but these were double the price (which included a discount). So they were highly overpriced. Pros about the place are the beautiful location, the sauna and swimming place at the lake available for guests and also nice staff. I would definitely recommend this place NOT being a part of the Lapland Hotels chain because it’s not offering what the chains are usually offering. This hotel should be it’s own entity, if possible. They could also invest into marketing the place more as a ”nostalgia” hotel or something like that, so that people who want to experience that can choose do that. I’m sure there are people who would like that. But not have this as part of Lapland Hotels, at least not without some serious renovation for the building and the rooms. If that’s not possible, this should be taken into consideration with the prices, which are at the moment definitely too high.
