Great location. Spacious rooms.
The rooms were not refurbished as shown and they were a bit ‘warn out’. Still clean and comfy but have more a 80s-90s vibe.
4.1
The Location is great.
Views were awesome.
Staff was friendly.
Dated building
Old rooms
4.1
Well located and close by to other resorts where you can do activities. Closely connected to the airport.
Friendly staff
The hotel is in need of some modernisation to make it more comfortable. The breakfast could be better.
4.1
Good price/quality hotel. Rooms were clean, and the staff was friendly. Good location in Ivalo next to the river. Free use of equipment such as ski boots, xc skis, and ice skating shoes was a nice bonus. Activities can be booked at the hotel.
The food was good, but there are not that many options for the buffet (usually one option for meat, one for fish, one type of warm vegetables). However, there is an à la carte menu, and there is a lot of choice for the breakfast.
4.1
All staff were kind and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were varied and delicious. Rooms were clean. The night view of the frozen river at the back of the hotel was incredible.
4.1
Great place for sport lovers. You can start cross country skiing right from at the hotel entry. The sauna is nicely hot and the swimming pool is really cold (super pleasant!). Our room had a marvellous river view.
Breakfasts were tasty - vegetarians can also be satisfied :-) - but if you stay longer, you might want a bit more variation. The WiFi covered only the reception area and the rooms in the vicinity.
4.1
close to the airport
noisy, crowded with large rude groups, run down rooms, bathroom like from the 70‘s, dining hall huge but uncomfortable. Way too expensive for what you get
4.1
Club Nord is a gem! Good & honest advice (advised me against going on an aurora tour due to the forecast & suggested it elsewhere when I was not staying there). Highly recommend the snowmobile on the frozen river !
4.1
Nice clean rooms, well located hotel.
Pretty basic. Everything felt a bit old. Breakfast was very basic, with not a lot of choice.

A beautiful hotel next to the river in Ivalo. Its not the most modern of hotels, but for me that was part of the charm. Access to the finish sauna and to the Jacuzzi's was included in the price. We had dinner in the restaurant before my friends drove back to the North of Norway, and the food was excellent. After I went to the sauna, and had a swim in the river, the only minus was that the stairs down to the river was not in place, but i managed :D The reception, and restaurant staff was very service minded and helpful. I will come back again in the winter time to experience the Hotel and Ivalo in the winter! I can imagine its magical there around Christmas time. The airport is only a short drive away, and there is a shuttle buss that the staff is happy to help you book.
4.1
Fine a stopover and the staff most helpful. Breakfast was satisfactory but not as good as it might have been. No fried eggs for instance. Dinner from the menu was however very good. The older rooms are lovely and due to their heritage have ambience. The more spacious rooms do not have river views so not worth the extra money!
Breakfast was lack lustre.

Great sauna!
4.1
the view from the room, sauna, and great breakfast!!
the pool could have been a bit warmer and the light in the bathroom flickered a bit
4.1
Position overlooking the river. Food in restaurant was good. Sauna and swimming pool were nice though pool was too cold for me.
Nothing,everything was fine. Good value.
4.1
The hotel is well heated, some of the staff are friendly. Close proximity to the airport. Which is a good thing since the taxi fares start at 12 euro. Close to the local bar and supermarket. Has small fridge in the room.
I got one of the old rooms, it would remind you of a half way house. Very drab interior, shower doors hanging off. Only 2 lights working in room 75% were broken. The hot breakfast is rubbish, I guess they have the idea if they cook really bad, then people will not consume much. Don't stay here if you like a hot breakfast, the cold selection is a little better. Since the hotel basically only caters to their 90% French cliental.
4.1
Buffet dinner is good location are good
The hotel room look so old like 90s or even older
4.1
Hotel Ivalo was absolutely spot on! All the staff were lovely & helpful. The games room with the pool table, board games etc was wonderful for our evenings with a few drinks from the bar! The activities provided by Club Nord were amazing, we especially enjoyed the snowmobile safari & go karting on ice (we even paid for a second go!) The hotel is in walking distance to a supermarket, gift shops and lovely restaurants. Absolute little gem!
We would have preferred a double bed over two singles
4.1
Great location from airport. Friendly staff and great for a stopover.
Outdated inside. Both the rooms and public areas would benefit from a refurbishment.
4.1
The hotel was quiet although there were a lot of guests. Good breakfast and good location
