Hostels i Ivalo

" Our Aurora cabin had the best location, right on the lake. This cabin has no internet or tv, which we knew ahead and that was fine with us. But there is also no space to unpack, zero storage. In the bathroom no hair dryer or racks to hang towels. We missed a table by the sofa, nightlights by the bed, a bench at entrance to sit and put your shoes on, maybe a small fridge (medicine to keep cold). Or why not place a shelf at the stairs outside to put things? The restaurant was clean and the staff very friendly. We booked breakfast & dinner and on the webside there are pictures of nice ala card dish. Not included. We got a no-choice dinner each night. We did not mind because the quality was very good, but that was not what we expected. At breakfast the scrambled eggs came from a bottle and bread toasters and waffle toasters were the kind for home use. Always people waiting in line for both. The worst thing about the cabin was the heating. It was not very cold during our stay, +2/ -3 celcius but the blower was blowing all the time, 24/7. I got a headache and sore throat as result, the noise was like a washing machine. They seem pretty eager to get (more of) your money, and that becomes slighty irritating. Other hotels may offer free cancellation, transfer to and from the hotel. None of that! You must pay ahead (50% at booking, the rest a month before), nonrefundable. Transfer was €110 each way, and on the way back we were in a bus with12 others!"
