Hotel K5 Levi

Lovely hotel on edge of the resort of Levi. Within a 5 or 10 minute walk to all facilities. Beautiful walks within hotel grounds and reindeers to the rear of hotel alongside the picturesque chalets. The rooms are fabulous - super spacious with a mezzanine for the kids to sleep. We were lucky enough to to have a first floor room on the front of the hotel with views to the slopes! Beautiful ! The balcony was huge too! Food was buffet style and not 5 star but suitable to fill your belly - plenty of nearby restaurants if you’d prefer to eat out! All in all, we loved our holiday and would highly recommend this as a great base to stay and explore Levi!

The location of this hotel is excellent. It is just in the outskirts of Levi town centre, no more than a 5 minute walk. There is a hiking nature trail right along side of the hotel that you can follow to the frozen lake. Also on a Dark, clear night of you walk along this trail you may be lucky and see the northern lights. The staff at the hotel seemed very disinterested and one lady on reception when we asked her a couple of questions in relation to the gala dinner could not answer (basic questions like how much per person the Christmas meal was!) smirked and said that she would ask a colleague…we waited and then she informed us that this would be later and to check back later-we did and the lady had gone off duty and not passed the enquiry over to anyone. The card for the gym would not work so we couldn’t access it, this was around 5pm so should have been open. We tried again the next day and again it would not work. The evening meals at the hotel were awful. The selection was limited, tepid at best and not good quality. Certain guests would hold the bread with their hands when cutting it, rather than using the tissue to hold it-more than off putting. No staff were monitoring the food stations and how they were being used. Kids were going up unaccompanied and touching the food, leaving the hot kids open etc. the tables were close together and I got bumped while eating on lots of occasions. The breakfasts were nice, there was a good selection and it was good quality, however the same issues with people touching the food and banging into chairs remained. The hotel bedroom was superb. We had a room at the rear of the hotel with a huge balcony and a sauna, near to the side door. There was a drying cabinet in the room, the bathroom had underfloor heating. The bed was extremely comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room, very spacious room. Tv in room. In the hotel grounds was a reindeer pen -you Could buy food at reception to feed the reindeers at 7e per bag. There was a separate restaurant in the hotel grounds, but we only found that by walking around-we weren’t told or given any details about it at all on checking in-if we had known we would have happily paid to eat there and try it. But we were not informed and found it too late to try, very disappointing. There was also a Sami hut in the grounds - in the evenings it seemed to be the place where men went to drink and smoke because in the morning when we went to look there were alcohol containers / rubbish everywhere inside and the floor was slippery and it stunk, which was a shame. I wouldn’t recommend upgrading to half board, bed and breakfast is the best option as the best part of this hotel are the rooms, breakfast and the location.

K5 did not disappoint again. Cosy hotel, nice bed, great staff, nice location combined with snow, sunshine (in February!) and cold weather. Just great. Only minus was restaurant list that was too short.
