Lapland Hotels Bulevardi

Lapland Hotels Bulevardi

10/10 Excellent
"If 10 stars were available I’d give the Lapland 10 stars. An excellent hotel in a great location with a calm, beautiful ambiance and the most lovely, friendly, kind staff, ever! This hotel deserves superlative reviews. The breakfast was better than any other hotel breakfast we’ve had anywhere in the world. Name it, they offer it. We dined there the 3 nights we stayed at the hotel. Delicious food and wine. There is a sauna that we never used but our friend did and she said it was great. Our bed was very comfortable and there was even Lapland music piped into our rooms. We are quite particular but we could not name one area in which the hotel could improve. Thank you everyone at Lapland. You made our stay so enjoyable and unforgettable!"
