Are hotellia

Plussat: Fantastic mountain hut. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had anywhere, excellent 5 course dinner of local specialties. Hot tubs, big sauna. Location is ski-in, ski-out. Hidden in the woods and a 25EUR taxi ride to town though, so not the best place to explore Are. All the staff were superb. Shared bathrooms not a problem, there are plenty and never had to wait.

Miinukset: Ornate carvings on bunk beds look nice, but continually smacking myself on them. Would be much easier to get in and out of a simpler bed. Comfy once in them though.

Plussat: It is an excellent place. The hotel is a cottage style and situates in the mountain. Snow-mobil takes you to the hotel. You can directly come down there from the ski course. Staffs are very much friendly and respect each guest. Outdoor hot-bath and Sauna are extremely comfortable after skiing. It is also a very popular restaurant for lunch and dinner.

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Aulista palvelua, hyvät unet antavat sängyt, ja aivan maaginen aamupala itsepaistettavine vohveleineen! Suosittelen!

Miinukset: Small rooms and shared bathrooms is a bit challenging ...

Plussat: I liked this one a lot. Especially that every detail was in place. Extremely nice receptionist, good breakfast, very good bed and awesome products in the bathroom. Cannot say anything negative actually.

Plussat: The rooms were beyond cosy and so were the lounge areas - just right for the dark November days.

Plussat: Amazing location, very quaint property

Plussat: Toiletries were excellent. Seating in he lobby was cozy for small get-togethers. Wine Bar is excellent

Miinukset: Windows in my room could not open enough for good airflow in the summer.

Miinukset: Too expensive. All bars and alike closed during summer. Small room. Rather boring.

Plussat: excellent beds!!

Miinukset: the color of the walls, black all over, makes it very dark and feels kind of "heavy". we missed access to a cup of free coffee on arrival

Plussat: Bathroom need to be updated. The climacontrol in the room was poor. Often to Cold.

Plussat: Very authentic and cosy hotel indeed.

Miinukset: The room was a bit too warm during the hot summer nights we spent there. A/c would definitely solve this small issue.

Plussat: The vin bar is great - lovely food. And request porridge at breakfast - delicious and excellent to set you up for a day’s skiing.

Miinukset: But wine expensive in the wine bar.

Plussat: Erittäin hyvä aamiainen ja aurinkoisen ystävällinen palvelu. Hurmaava atmosfääri ja erittäin kaunis sisustus.

Miinukset: Huone hieman pieni ja kylpyhuoneen lattiakaato pielessä. Vesi valui suihkukaapista kohti ovikynnystä ja levisi lähesä koko kylpyhuoneeseen. Kylpyhuoneen laattoja rikki samon käsienpesuallas.

Plussat: Charming in Prime location

Miinukset: Might club a little loud

Plussat: This is a ski hotel. It is half way up the mountain ( just accessible by car) and serves lunches to skiers so the hotel is very relaxed about ski boots indoors. There is a ski store just outside. The breakfast is superb. We had the half board option which makes Sweden affordable. The set menu varies by day but there are no options except 25% off the standard menu, however the food was lovely and way above what we expected and the wine list is extensive ( and Swedishly expensive). Some locals came up the funicular railway (40 yds away) for dinner most nights, which shows its reputation. The staff all speak English and are very helpful. The 4.30 live band disco in the bar is very popular but finishes at 6pm Recommended.

Miinukset: Very little We had a "budget room" which was small but fine for a ski holiday. The lounge areas with nice fires are great for sitting about anyway.

Plussat: Vaikka huone oli pieni, oli sängyt hyvät nukkua. Aamiainen oli normitasoa, nakkeja ja pekonia ei kuitenkaan ollut.

Miinukset: Saunaan ja uima-altaalle ei päässyt remontin vuoksi.

Plussat: The breakfast was great, with a good selection and never over-crowded. Lunch and dinner were great in terms of food quality, less so in terms of service. The location was superb, with fantastic views from the room, the open-air bar and the spa hot-tub area. It was located between the main Åre ski area and the more child-friendly Björnen area, with easy access by skis to both. It turned out that the pistes between these two well-known areas, serviced by the ski lift "Fjällgårdsexpressen" was our favourite, with easy red pistes with fewer skiers and therefore better condition snow.

Miinukset: A couple of times I felt the service staff in the restaurant could have been a little more helpful. We needed to wait ten minutes to be seated when there was plenty of space, and the staff did not even acknowledge our presence. Hopefully, this was just a bad day.

Plussat: Amazing location on the top of the city

Miinukset: Really small bathroom

Plussat: Aamupala oli maittava ja runsas, muuta emme syöneet. Sijainti oli laskemista ajatellen täydellinen, hotellille löysi helposti ja Bergbana helpotti kulkemista kylälle ja takaisin. Auton sai näppärästi lähes oven eteen ja palvelu pelasi muutenkin. Paljumaisema oli vertaansa vailla.

Plussat: Good breakfast. Great location.

Miinukset: Friendlier staff. Better room facilities - bath, fridge, cable TV.

Plussat: Staff and location were great!

Miinukset: The bathroom was quite small and water would kind of go everywhere from taking a shower. The floor was heated though so it would evaporate quickly.

Plussat: Perfect location for "ski-in and ski-out".

Miinukset: Ski storage room was too small and a bit messy. Needs to be tidied up.

Plussat: Sängyt olivat hyvät ja huoneeseen ei kantautunut mistään ääniä.

Miinukset: Kaikki tarjoilijat eivät tervehtineet.

Plussat: The breakfast was adequate, small because the kitchen was closed. The rooms we spacious, clean and comfortable. The location right on the hill was good for hiking.

Miinukset: It was "off season" so the restaurant, bar and spa were all closed. We were alerted to this after booking, but it was kind of a bummer.

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen. Siisti ja rauhallinen paikka

Miinukset: Sijainti

Plussat: I did this already and it disappeared! So short vrrsion this time: location for skiing views access to town on furnicular. Ski room for drying and servicing equipment

Miinukset: Half board not aware fixed menu one of my sons does not like fish very much the two fish mains was one too many for him.

Plussat: Excellent location, friendly staff and good facilities.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli hyvä ja runsas. Pekoni hivenen liian paksu ja rasvainen. Pöytiä ja istumapaikkoja oli todella riittävästi.

Miinukset: Season sauna mainostatte että minimi ikä 15-vuotta. Kuitenkin siellä olis selvästi nuorempia eikä ketään vahtimassa minkä ikäisiä sinne tulee. Jossain olisi voinut olla maininta että ota omat istuma pyyhkeet mukaan saunaosastolle. Nyt ilmoitus oli vain saunan oven ulkopuolella. Joitain ihmisiä tuli saunaosastolle hätäuloskäynnin ovesta. Kukaan ei ollut vahtimassa mistä ihmiset tulee sinne. Saunoissa ei ollut löyly kauhaa millä olisi voinut heittää vettä kiukaalle. Yhden saunan puinen kiulu (puinen ämpäri) vuosi niin että saunan lattia oli ihan vededn peitossa.

Plussat: Very spacious room with a view of the lake. More of a studio than a hotel room. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Reasonable walking distance to ski lifts. For those arriving by public transport from Östersund easy access to Holiday Club from bus stop via Äre station.

Miinukset: Due to the family clientèle (i.e. children) the hotel rooms are subject to wear and tear. The water flowed out of the wash basin slowly. The metal hand towel rail attached to the wash basin was damaged, exposing the guest to sharp metal, which could easily cause an injury, if the guest is not careful. I mentioned this to reception, who perhaps understandably were not able to replace the hand towel rail at short notice. Dinner at the Grow restaurant was O.K. but very expensive (the reindeer meat however was absolutely delicious). I rented an all-mountain ski in Äre, but not at the Skistar store, which like other rental outlets in Äre had an inadequate choice of rental all-mountain skis.

Plussat: Good location, breakfast

Miinukset: Hotel is to big, a lot of traffic in corridors. Industrial. Had an issue with missing property.

Plussat: Great to have the pool access for rainy days, and really nice playroom for the kids (great staff there!) and beautiful location by the lake. Great food at the restaurant (all though a bit pricy) many tv-channels!

Miinukset: It is really inconvenient for skiers as the lifts are quite far away, so you have the choice of walking in full ski gear and arriving all sweaty (especially if you have kids and carry their stuff) or take the ski bus that goes too rarely in our opinion and miss out of slope time. Poor possibility to store own clothes / gear (we had a family room) and we stayed a week with no possibility to unpack. Beds too hard in our opinion.

Plussat: Helppo. Rinnepäivän jälkeen kylpylässä rentoutuu. Aamupala oli hyvä.

Miinukset: Huoneen siisteys kaipasi parannettavaa.

Plussat: Friendly staffs. Well equipped facilities. Big buffet breakfast. Nice reception area. Safety box, and PlayStation in the room.

Miinukset: Not well maintained sport equipments. No staffs walking around in the rooms area to check the tidiness, noises, and other things which may disturb guests.

Plussat: Excellent location, very convenient to skiing. Really good saunas. This is probably the most modern hotel in Åre at the moment.

Miinukset: The saunas get packed during peak hours, so if you want to spend some quality time there, you need to look for off-peak hours. Based on this, I'd say either charge extras to minimise the crowd a bit – or extend the facilities?

Miinukset: Bathroom was out of date. Shower broken. Breakfast was very bad, nothing to eat.

Plussat: Overall good entertainment for families. Things to do and Great pool area.

Miinukset: Check out at 11h - check in after 16h. Creates a chaos of people in the suitcase lock rooms.

Plussat: Very straight forward experience - lovely staff, good food, fantastic location and fair price. And. clean!

Plussat: Very convenient location

Miinukset: Tv not working. Almost everything we came for was closed or out of order (spa etc.)
