Hotel Royal Ruka

Wonderful
Traveller Type: family with young children
  : Excellent choices at breakfast buffet including warm dishes, very tasty Lapland dinner buffet on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays; very friendly and helpful staff creating a family atmosphere in the hotel; sauna available in the hotel; very good location for cross country skiing trails, which are located just opposite to the hotel, though it takes about 15-20 minutes to get to the main village on foot
  : Not all the facilities in the hotel are very modern, though they do work well; but given that the hotel has probably not been renovated for a while it was still a bit pricey; the general public slots for sauna are only 50 minutes for men and women each, which is not a lot, additional slots need to be paid for - an open slot of 1.5 hours would be appreciated (or a joint men / women slot, but mixed sauna seems to be rare in Finland)

Very Good
Traveller Type: group
  : Breakfast was ok, though nothing special. I could have used more information about sauna, it would have been nice to go, but when we arrived in the evening it was not possible. Clean, nice rooms and peaceful.
  : We heard the staff commenting quite directly to some other customers how they wouldn't serve breakfast to the table. The guests had arrived a bit too laite for the breakfast, but still we think it sounded a bit rude.
