A place to stay in Ruka

Each unit is a self-contained apartment with a private kitchen, bathroom and living area. The setup suits skiers in the winter season, which runs from mid-November to early May, and hikers in summer, from mid-June to late September. Free on-site parking, free wifi and pet-friendly rooms keep the logistics simple. Studios are priced from €112.
Who this stay suits
A practical, self-catering apartment stay in the middle of Ruka village, with your own kitchen and easy access to skiing in winter and hiking in summer.
Best for
- self-catering ski trips
- travellers with a car
- guests bringing pets
- families wanting one flexible space
Less suited to
- travellers who want hotel dining and services on site
Apartments, not rooms
Every unit is an entire apartment, so you get the place to yourself. The studio layout puts twin beds, sofa beds and a dining area in one soundproofed space of 25 m², with a private bathroom attached. It works for couples, or families who don't mind sharing a single open room.
Full kitchen in every unit
The kitchens go beyond a basic kitchenette: stovetop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, toaster, electric kettle and kitchenware, plus a washing machine. That's enough to cook real dinners for a week-long ski trip rather than eating out every night.
In Ruka village centre
The property sits in the centre of Ruka village, so the resort's services are on foot rather than a drive away. Location, comfort and cleanliness are the strongest themes in guest feedback, and the hotel holds a 4.5/5 guest rating across 9 reviews.
Geared for ski season
Ski storage is available on site for winter stays between mid-November and early May. Pets are welcome, parking is free, and an airport shuttle is offered. In summer, from mid-June to late September, the area suits hiking.
