Hotelli Kolari

Very Poor
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Terrible smell, especially in the hallway but also in the room, as if the building was moldy. After staying overnight the smell had stuck on clothes and they needed to be washed. The toilet did not work. The reception was closed at 9 AM, no one was there.

  : Super friendly, arrived a bit earlier but room was ready. Spacious enough and bed was comfortable. Had a good rest.
  : Would have loved a kettle in the room, but, there was a coffee station in the corridor. There is a full restaurant in any case so it was still comfortable.

  : The Hotel is ok and the stuff super friendly.
  : It is around nothing. You have to drive 30min by car for any action like winter hiking trails, skiing, snow show or bike rental etc. In Kolari is kind of nothing.

  : I try to avoid unfavourable opinions. However, this time, I feel it is my duty to warn other travellers. Apart from a few minor issues, there is one impartant thing: the hotel is advertised as air conditioned - IT IS A LIE. There is no air conditioning in the rooms. There are two types of rooms available and I chose the more expensive one with 'air conditioning'. When we entered the room (number 130), we were welcomed by some mosquitos and it was boiling hot inside. I started looking for an A/C switch which unfortunately I did not find. I could not talk to anybody about it as there was no one at the reception after 8. There were some small fans in the corridor, so I took three of them inside, which made no difference to the temperature and stuffiness. There was somthing they proudly advertise as mosquito net. Actually it's a narrow air hole protected by net next to the window. It was impossible to open the window due to the outside temperature as well as mosquitos. Needless to say, the night was a nightmare. The next morning I tried to talk to the lady at the reception/bar. She seemed not to understand the problem saying insolently the hotel had an air conditioning system. When I asked her to come to room 130 in order to show me where it was, she began saying I was the kind of person who is dissatisfied with everything. Well, I tried to explain the problem was about a dishonest piece of information about A/C, but as a result she put the amout of money in cash I'd paid for the room in front of me. Of course, I did not accept it. You may say A/C is not the most important thing, but if you take into account the fact the we had spent over 9 hours travelling from the north of Norway and there was another day of driving ahead of us, you should understand that what we needed was some hours of comfortable sleep. I also believe that when you run a business, you should do it in an honest way.

  : Kolari is a small place and the only decent restaurant is this hotel. Just make sure you order before they close.

  : Location was excellent and the restaurant was lovely. Restaurant owner could not have been more helpful and friendly.
  : Very expensive for what you got. Dirty sheets, absolutely had not been changed as my husband pulled back the cover and found fresh blood stains all over them. No one to tell as no staff around. So had to grab some others from open rooms. But I slept badly knowing the sheets were used. And the bed was very narrow and quite hard. Also no one told us about WiFi so it wasn't until the morning that we found the password on a piece of paper taped up by the router.
