Hotel Uitonniemi

The place is very quiet, peaceful. You can observe the polar aurora in the evenings. The rooms are clean and cozy. Everyone will find something for themselves at breakfast. The owner is very nice and helpful and always smiling. We will remember our stay in this hotel positively for a long time.

I will have the best memories from this place for the rest of my life and cannot stop thinking to vsit again.|Stayed for 2 nights last October and everything was great. Rooms cozy and warm, the location is stunning in front of the lake, facing north where Auroras come from.|We spent the 2 nights on the deck and the shore watching and shooting beautiful aurora displays. The manager even offered a warm room by the deck to get some warmth now and then while waiting for the lights. Maija was extra helpful with anything we needed. Love to all from Greece!

Lovely rooms with a classic cabin feeling but all modern necessities. It’a a nice and calm location at the shore of the lake. They have a small but good breakfast buffet and the owners offered some good tips for our daily trips.

Can I jus say a massive wow this place was cosiest place we have ever stayed it met more than our expectations. The lovely lady mya who does brekkie and loads more helped us with our bus home, she is amazin so kind gentle and jus lovely. The other guy who is in partnership forgot his name was also jus as amazing. He took us ice fishing we didn't get a bite but it wad an experience to b on a frozen lake. Then he cooked us lovely meal in eve on our last night and also took us to husky safari which was also amazing. The husky dogs r so so friendly loving and well behaved the owner deserves an award she works so hard and the dogs respect her so very much. The other animals also r so well looked after and were so talkative for attention it was so funny but also amazin. U then had chance to cook a sausage on a log fire in cosy hut and hve berry juice but hot and cinnamon biscuits. Jus perfect every aspects of this trip was more than we thought and we r so so sad to hve left and b home. But will recommend to evryone and anyone. The cabin was like a 2 bedroom flat with kitchen fridge microwave lovely beds jus perfect I can't put into words how amazing this place was. It was a lovely walk to the little village where u hve lidls some pizza kebab places, local grocery shops petrol stations which u can also get burgers chips nuggets and sit in and eat too. We found the only pub which is by the petrol station forgive me forgot name hut they r amazing in there too friendly will give u any help u need they hve darts board and locals play cards which is lovely they r very accepting. We want to tell the world about this place as its worth a visit even if u did 3 days like us. It wasn't enough. The views from cabin too r incredible u wldnt believe till u see. Wld love to take all my family to this place. Only bummer is it takes an hour from airport but it's beautiful journey and incredible how they drive in them conditions.

We arrived to Kemijärvi by train and were looking for a place to have breakfast.||Uitonniemi was our choice that we didn't need to regret. Very good homemade breakfast with some tastes from Lapland.||Thanks to Erja and high recommendations. Hope to be back.

A really homely and traditional Finnish style hotel. Friendly owners and staff that gave us a warm welcome. Highly recommend to dine in the evening here also, the Lappish food that was cooked up for us was so delicious and such a chance to sample those unique flavours. Very close (easy walk) into town centre and onto lakeside treks.

Actually I got sort of stranded in Kemijärvi -I must admit because my good old Defender had a problem... the focus on my trip was camping, preferably in the ‘wild’ but that suddenly came to a stop... how lucky I was to choose this beautiful Hotel to spend my time. Situated next to the lake it felt ( even quite close to a road above) like a true oasis with a postcard view from the wonderful breakfast room as well as the fantastic sauna. The rooms are beautiful, very clean with all wooden walls and floors. A kitchenette, a good looking bathroom and a nice little seating outside. The sauna is just fantastic and you can sign in by the day to have it for your own -for an hour or an hour and half and enjoy this peaceful time. The retreat room is simply brilliant with yet another wood stove and plenty of space to enjoy the view and to relax. Breakfast between 08.00 and 09.00 is beautiful.|Above all this you have very, very lovely and attending hosts... its a true happy spot and I feel lucky to have been there! If ever I go to Northern Finland again they for sure will see me back, no doubt!

My favorite place in Finland, and I've stayed at many. The owner and her aide were so helpful, friendly and willing to do whatever to make you feel welcome! They lit the wood sauna for us, cooked us a special meal, and were happy to just talk and share a funny story.
