Situated fairly close to the airport (only about 20,00 EUR in taxi fares), which at these Finnish latitudes is not so common. The room was okay, even though the analogical TV-set from the 1990's brings a smile to ones face. Breakfast was okay, although nothing special. The bar had karaoke (yokel alert, defcon 5!).

The housekeeping wasn't exist, the maid just put the blanket over the pillows, that was all. The staff didn't know what "bathrobe" means. Moreover the lift was out of order, so we have to carry our staff by steps to our rooms, via an outdoor corridor, which was really cold.

My partner and I visited here for Valentines day 2009 and it still remains the best holiday I have ever been on. Yes, the hotel was good, the service was good and the buffet breakfasts are great.

What's good about this hotel? It's only 5 minutes walk from downtown Kuusamo; there is a pool and a nice sauna; there is free internet in the rooms; breakfast is good. However, a lot of small things make this hotel very far from being perfect. The staff at the front desk could not give the right answer to the following,... More

The snow and skiing conditions were fantastic - good enough to convert longterm alp-addicts best ever. BUT DO NOT STAY AT THE HOTEL SOKOS Whilst it is clean with hot water - probably aimed at the business man & locals certainly not english. It really is 45mins from slopes - best for beginners and not too taxing Possibly one of... More

Just back from our second ski holiday of the year in Finland, first one was to Levi and in my opinion was much better than Ruka.
