Mestarin Kievari

Stayed 3 nights in a family room. The location is unbeatable for Kemijärvi—right next to the bus station, with a large supermarket across the street and everything within easy walking distance. Our room was very spacious and clean, with enough space to sit and relax. Staff were friendly and polite throughout our stay. Breakfast was decent and exactly what you’d expect from a 3-star hotel, and the bathroom amenities were basic. A big plus is the pub inside the hotel—perfect for a drink or dinner with really nice music, especially in winter when it’s harder to go out. A couple of downsides: there was no room service during our stay, our door didn’t lock properly, and some areas could use renovation. Still, it’s very good value for money and I’d absolutely return—ideally in a different season, when the day is longer.

Nice Hotel, it has everything i needed, sauna, nice and comfortable rooms and good breakfast 👍

Since Mokkatupa exits from Kemijärvi this is the place to be visited. Good, reasonable priced food and good atmosphere.|Been here several ocasions like Mothers day. There's also nightclub down stairs but visited there long ago so fon't know what is like today.

I had the pleasure to stay at Mestarin Kievari for three nights in August 2011. ||||My room was a standard single room with a sauna. The room was sparkling clean, and the bed was very comfortable. It was nice to have a small refrigerator for refreshments purchased from grocery store which is located beside the hotel. The pièce de résistance, though, was the sauna! There is nothing better, after a long day of sight-seeing in Finnish Lapland, than relaxing in a sauna built by a "suomalainen mies" and enjoying a nice cold Lapin Kulta or whatever your taste, all in the the privacy of your own room! ||||The breakfast buffet was excellent...lots of variety, hearty and tasty. I had dinner twice, salmon was cooked to perfection; reasonably priced menu, in my opinion. ||||Very efficient check-in and check-out, regardless of language barrier. Guest reception is in the restaurant area, many staff didn't speak English, but that's not a problem, patrons of restaurant who speak English are most willing to help, if translation is needed. ||||Overall, I found this hotel to be just perfect for me, and I will definitely be back. I can't wait until my next stay at Mestarin Kievari!

We spent a long weekend in this nice and small a hotel in Northern Finland, Kemijärvi. Kemijärvi is a small town above the Artic Polar Circle. The rooms were a little bit out of date, but clean. We asked a room with Sauna. It was nice, better than the room in the hotel. We spent one night in the hotel room and two nights in a room with Sauna. The were also a fridge and a electric kettle in that room type. ||The staff was amazing! Very friendly ant the food in the restaurant was super! We liked the breakfast too. I recommend this hotel because of it's excellent food, lamb and reindeer were fantastic! And also try other Finnish food and desserts.

The hotel itself is just average, I upgraded it to Very Good for the service. The operator / owner was just incredible. We had to work late - he kept the restaurant open an hour late for us, we had to leave before breakfast on the last day - we found he placed lunch boxes in our room refrigerators for us with drinks at no extra charge. These are only a few of the many ways he goes out of his way to help out. The hotel itself is older and may be ready for some remodeling but it was comfortable and the buffet breakfast was fairly good.||I would definitely stay here again in a second!

we came just before the summer season. It was a lovely place to stay, staff went out of their way to help even with "no English sometimes" ||The room, sauna, lounge and restaurant were all very comfortable. The food so great at the luncheon buffet the local workers come to eat.

We stayed for 4 nights over Christmas and the staff here were just fantastic. They were always there to help with whatever we needed! |Great location opposite a big supermarket and near shopping streets. The lake is a 5-10 minute walk away which is absolutely beautiful. The staff also pass you on to someone who is able to organise activities for you to do!||The rooms are a little out dated, but that didn't really bother us. Everything is still functioning and the tv and bar fridge were new. ||We also changed our reservation to leave a day early, and only told them the day we were leaving, and they didn't charge us for the last night. |||A big thank you to Emma specifically! |Thanks to you all for our wonderful stay!!!
