Lapland Hotel Sirkantähti

We stayed 8th to 11th December on a Tui package deal. The hotel had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The rooms were fine and clean. The heater for the clothes and the sauna was a nice to have after long days out in the cold. The staff were friendly as were the TUI reps. We were half board and there was enough food choice for a 3 night stay. It was our first time in Lapland and it was amazing. I hope we can return one day and I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again for a short trip.

We booked this hotel on a 3 night TUI Lapland experience. Here follows an honest review of the hotel and some tips for enjoying Levi and the TUI break. Monday Picked up snowsuits and boots which were well needed and kept us warm. Arrived at hotel at 12.30 and were able to check in straight away which was a bonus. Luckily we were in the block right next to main building. Room was clean, beds comfy, had kettle and tea/coffee. The clothes dryer/warmer unit was really useful too and the in room sauna was lovely to warm up. The evening meal was ok/average - range of salad starters, main course was sliced beef with potatoes or chips. Range of desserts and cheese. There is a daily menu publicised, so we used this to decide if eating in hotel or walking in to Levi. Tuesday Started with breakfast. Range of fruit & cereals. Scrambled eggs, hotdog sausage, toast, etc. it did the job. We ate out Tuesday night at Levi Pizza - yummy. Wednesday Same foods for breakfast. Evening was the festive finale dinner - it was bang average. Dry turkey, range of overcooked veg. Thursday - departure day Same breakfast Summary A hotel in a great location, really helpful and friendly staff. Warm cosy rooms and comfortable bed. Just needs improvement to how food is cooked and kept warm as often it’s just warm, not hot. I would stay here again. TIPS Download the Aurora app to get notified if chance of seeing Northern lights. Sledging at the base of the ski slopes was awesome, though even better if take €16 return trip to summit and walk all way up to top. Water world is worth a visit, though but on expensive side €25/euros. Was nice to sit in hot tub outside, but the jet boothes in the main pool were better. As were the indoor jacuzzi. Levi has enough good bars, restaurants and shops to fill an afternoon or evening wander. Wrap up warm. The TUI experiences were short. One lap with the huskies probably 2 mins long, and 2-3 mins on snowmobile in a sledge you do not get to drive it, so if you want longer, book locally in advance. They are as stated taster sessions but they did the job for us. As adults Santa’s village was ok, meet Santa at an allotted time, decorate some gingerbread, see two reindeers and get a certificate with your elf name. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable three day visit and the hotel was an excellent base.

Hotel is lovely cosy and warm the large clothes dryers in the room were very useful. We enjoyed the breakfast but preferred to eat out at night. The reception staff were extremely helpful when we couldn't find a sledge they sorted one out within minutes of asking. The Tui santa experience was the most magical afternoon ever my little grandaughter had a fantastic time yes the taster sessions are short but were good fun and Santa was amazing. We visited water world a 10 minute walk from the hotel and spent a fun few hours there. We also did the excursion to the husky farm which we all loved especially getting to pet the little husky puppies. We also took the gondola up to the top of the ski slopes where there is a cafe at the top which does a lovely lunch. Yes it is very expensive but was worth every single penny !!!
