Mökit – Muonio

"Holiday Club Ylläs has several different accommodation possibilities in different locations in Äkäslompolo, Ylläs. I booked "Huoneisto, 1 makuuhuone, sauna (40.5 m2, P6 KES)" which means an apartment, 1 bedroom, sauna, 40.5 square meters. This Kesänki apartment (KES refers to Kesänki, I think) is actually a villa or more precisely half of a semi-detached log house. I think that Kesänki is similar to Kuer but Kesänki has forest view and Kuer has partial lake view. Both of them are good for 1-4 or even 6 people. There are steep stairs in these apartments and so they aren't accessible for wheelchairs and they may be difficult for small kids, too. These log apartments are excellent with all modern facilities, e.g. an air source heat pump, a complete tableware, a dishwasher, a gas grill and a washing machine. Even two normal bicycles were available but it was hard to find keys from the vestibule. The location is excellent, less than two kilometers from the center of Äkäslompolo village (Jounin kauppa) and 800 meters from the nearest bus stop (Äkäshotelli). So it is easy to travel here by public transport. I took a train from Helsinki to Kolari and then a bus from Kolari to Äkäslompolo. Very good hiking trails, biking trails and in winter cross-country skiing tracks start from the lake shore, 100 meters from the apartment. So this apartment is perfect both for summer and winter activities. "

"The location is excellent in the middle of several fells. Good hiking trails and scenic walking trails (and cross-country skiing tracks in winter) start from the hotel. The restaurant of the hotel is one of the best in Lapland. The breakfast buffet is excellent, too. It also includes local specialties, e.g. spruce shoot fruitie, lingonberry vanilla smoothie and cloudberry jam. The log building is historical (built in 1948) but unfortunately the rooms need renovation. They are quite cozy but many small details are worn out. Sleep quality was excellent. I didn't hear any noise except the sound of water in the pipes. My bathroom was very small. This hotel is excellent if you are searching for a down-to-earth wilderness hotel but don't expect any luxury accommodation."

"Erittäin siisti, kaunis hotelli. Hyvät näköalat. Monipuolinen aamiainen."

"Todella hyvin varustettu huoneisto ja siistit tilat. Levin keskustassa oli todella mukavan rauhallista näin kesällä. "

"Loistava palvelu ja erikoismaininta henkilökunnan huomiosta erikoisreissuumme liittyen"

"Valosaaste pilasi illat, mökistä myös näkyi kaikki tekemiset ulos, ilmalämpöpumpun hurina häiritsi unta, mökit liian lähellä toisiaan ei yksityisyyttä. Kynttilöitä oli poltettu, ei antanut hyvää kuvaa. Viinipullon avaaja puuttui. Vessasta oli loppu käsisaippua. Illallisen kuuluminen oli positiivinen yllätys. "

"Siisti ja mukava hotelli. Hyvä aamiainen. Aamiais-salin putkirunkoiset tuolit huonot istua ja heikot."

"Oli erittäin mieluisa kokemus majoittua täällä. Mökkimme oli todella siisti, uskomattoman kaunis ja käytännöllinen."

"Location fantastic, reception as well."
