If you are looking for a smaller hotel, offering excellent value for money, then I suggest the Hotel Kieppi. It is built in traditional Finnish style and is located in the centre of Saariselkä, just opposite the pool and spa at the Hotel Holiday Club. It is well known for its friendly informal atmosphere and welcoming staff.
The main building houses the hotel’s cosy lounge, bar, restaurant and saunas, with the bedrooms located in four smaller cabins just 10m away.
