Lovely family run hotel. Always warm and the underfloor heating in the bathrooms was great for drying things out. 
Rooms are basic but beds are comfy and it’s pretty quiet. 
Food was hearty and warming - sweet and sour pork, coconut chicken, cabbage rolls etc - with vegetarian options available. There was always tea and coffee available. Staff were friendly but spoke little English, somehow they were able to understand and we didn’t have any problems. 
Supermarket directly opposite and a couple of cafes. Lovely walk to visitors centre for some hot chocolate. 
A magical place and we really enjoyed ourselves

Lovely family hotel

We stayed here for 4 nights as part of a group tour. It is a family run hotel with about 40 rooms, a restaurant and bar. The rooms were modern comfortable and warm- vital when it is -20c outside. The basement had separate male and female saunas with a shared plunge pool. We stayed on a full board basis and all 3 meals each day were excellent, they catered for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free diets very well. The hotel is located right in the centre of the town, opposite the only supermarket for 50k! A short walk will get you onto the river/lake or back into the woods in the opposite direction- great for seeing the northern lights .

Great hotel in a perfect location

We went on a northern lights tour with Transun via our Travel Counsellor Dean McKmackin who hosted us. The hotel is no frills family run, warm and friendly. The rooms are comfortable with plenty of plug sockets!  The bar is well stocked and not too bad price. The food is basic but wholesome and plentyful. There is a supermarket accorss the road which is well stocked and other cafes are clsoe by when you are on downtime. There are are beautiful walks all around the hotel, espcecially down by the lake.
Overall a lovely hotel. Would like to mention Lisa the Transun rep who was lovely.

Just what you need

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Jussantupa on our Transun Northern Lights package tour in Jan 2023.

The rooms and communal areas were kept lovely and warm and clean with a designated space in reception to store your snow boots and outer wear. The sauna was a great treat and part of the national culture so don't forget to bring your swimming costume. 

The staff were very friendly and welcoming and went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure that my 91 year old grandma was able to get the most out of her experience and take part in all activities.   

We enjoyed the meals, with something different served everyday. Some of the dishes (1-2 choice of dishes served at lunch and dinner) were more typically Finnish so be prepared to try new things and you will be pleasantly surprised with good hearty food. They were also able to accommodate our dietary requirements which was great.

This hotel is a great place to see the Northern Lights when they are out. There is a school field behind the hotel with less light for a good view and a frozen lake right across the road where you can go sledging. There is also a supermarket across the street if needed and a lovely little souvenir shop in the hotel reception and a couple more further up the road. 

One thing to be aware of is that there is no kettle in the rooms. This is not a problem as coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available at meal times but if you are someone who likes a late night or very early morning drink then pack a travel kettle.

A great place to stay

This hotel can’t be faulted.. Big  bedrooms.. all spotless.. restaurant was excellent. Food was really good, Staff all very friendly. Reception lady very helpful and pleasant. 
We went with Hayes travel who set a great deal.. 
The Rep Lisa, was always smiling, great greeting and always around to help.. 

Excellent 

Have just stayed at the Jussantupa as part of the Festive Lights trip with Transun.
We were originally suppose to stay at the Davi Star but got moved a few months prior to our arrival due to the Star not being open.
At first we were a little disappointed as I thought the Star was better located. However, I was soon proven wrong.
Our stay was lovely. The staff were all friendly and accommodating and always greeted us with a smile.
The rooms were of a good standard and if you ask for a room at the back of the hotel you will have amazing views of the forest.
There is a small shutter at the end of the window which worked perfect as a cooling area for a bottle of wine. We took wine in our hold luggage as I had heard the cost of wine in the hotel was high and also Finland have tighter regulations on alcohol sales. This proved valuable. 

The food was really good. Yes, you don't get a selection but what you do get is a nice hearty warm meal.
I am a vegetarian and the meal that is prepared each day isn't vegetarian. However, just ask the staff and they will make sure they prepare you something different. Again, it is just one thing that they will prepared but they do go out of their way to get something in specially for you.
Lunch and dinner you will always have a salad and bread option if all else fails. 

The hotel does have a sauna and a cold plunge pool but the times it opens does not fit in with dinner times. This was the only negative as we would've liked to use these facilities. I do think they need to rethink the timings of the pool and sauna. 

Right opposite the hotel is a supermarket and a chemist. The supermarket sells everything a supermarket at home would sell.
There is the local church you can visit and plenty of nice walks around the woodland area.
You will find the local school five minutes down the road and the school field behind is a perfect spot to view the Northern Lights (if you are lucky enough to see them)
There is a a beautiful lake opposite the hotel which is a must visit. When it is all frozen and snowy, it is just incredible to see.
You also have the visitor centre 25 mins walk up the road which has a small museum and a cafe. 

As you walk up to the visitor centre there is a small silver store and also a craft workshop where the owner handcrafts items from reindeer antlers and other locally sourced stones and wood. The craft workshop is located on the side of her house but a sign is put out on the road side.
You have many perfect sledding spots around the hotel too. 

All Transun excursions are about 40 minutes away but you are taken in mini buses.
The airport is only 15 mins away. 

Overall a very lovely hotel based in the traditional area of Lapland. We certainly couldn't have asked for better.

Transun Festive Lights

The hotel was in a perfect location for us, only 10 mins from the airport and 5 mins from the thermal clothes shop. Theres a supermarket on the opposite side of the road if you wanted to get snacks and alcohol. The staff were friendly and very nice with everyone. The breakfast, lunch and tea I was very impressed with and was lovely all the way through. The room was pretty basic but everything was fine and had a nice view outside seeing the snow. 

The hotel is in a good spot for when you do the Northern Lights trek and Snowmobile excursion by the lake behind the supermarket. Id recommend Jussantupa to anyone looking for a good location spot to stay at, I loved my time here and was sad to leave.

Spot on, a perfect holiday.

If you are in Hetta and going for example to hike the Hetta-Pallas paths, I warmly recommend you to go eat first at Hotel Jussan Tupa's restaurant. Very friendly staff, almost fine dining food with reasonable price. Or why not after hike, your choice ;) 

Excellent restaurant in the heart of Hetta city

I am writing this review in two parts - firstly the hotel and then about Transun Northern Lights holiday.
When we booked our holiday, we were told that the two Davii hotels were full, but there was space in the Jussan Tupa.  I was wary of this, but really glad that we were allocated this hotel as there is more going on around the hotel with nearby facilities (supermarket/chemist/hardware store/ a few gift shops with cafes/visitor centre and a ski run).  There is nothing around the two Davii hotels as far as we could see.  We were allocated room 35 which was a first floor corner room overlooking the back.  To be honest the road outside of the hotel is very quiet as the snow quietens things and with about two cars an hour - so don't worry if youre at the front.  Also the view at the back is nothing special - a few trees up a small hill incline and thats all.
The hotel does not have a swimming pool as we know it - it's actually more of a plunge pool facilitating the separate male and female saunas.
Storage facilities in the room are very limited so don't bring too many thick jumpers as the snow suits & boots take up a lot of floor space and the wardrobe only handles about 5 or 6 items per side.  There is a corner chest of drawers but again these don't hold much.  Most of our gear i.e gloves, socks, hats etc were stored on top of the headboard.  Bed & bedding was comfy and we slept well, except for the guest below us snoring loudly (not the hotels fault).  En suite is a small wet room with underfloor heating.
Guests in our group were sociable so it didn't take long to get chatting with everyone in the cosy bar & reception areas.  The bar has 3 draught beers - Koff Long Drink with a hint of grapefruit at 5.5%,  Kronenberg Blanc wheat beer at 5.0% and a local Finnish beer at 4.6% which was given a thumbs up by UK beer drinkers.  The draught white wine was also fine - I didn't try the red.  Prices reasonable.
Meals are a basic set menu - not cordon bleu but very tasty and plentiful.  Vegans and gluten free requirements were well taken care of they said - and commented they wished they could get such nice meals in the UK.  Free tea & coffee during meal  times along with juice and water. 

Next part of review is about Transun Northern Lights trip (4 nights).  Didn't get off to a good start with an abysmal service by Enter Air, the chartered airline, from Birmingham Airport.  Recommend getting there much earlier than the two hours before departure as they only had one desk open for a Boing 737 number of passengers.  Second desk opened about 20 minutes later and a third just an hour before departure. Many of us had to run through the airport to make the boarding gate in time.
Arrival at Enontekio Airport - be prepared for the cutest little airport - once you disembark you have to queue outside of the terminal as the hall can't cope with so many people.  Once through passport control, you then have to take your own cases off of the little trolley transport from the aircraft.  Friendly Transun Reps then direct you to your transfer coach.  Lisa, the Transun Rep at our hotel explained that we only had a short drive to Boots & Suits to collect ours.  This is where I believe Transun should add an extra Essentials item to their list i.e. an extra large belt as the suits are no particular size and if like me the legs are too long - a belt was needed to hold them up properly.  
Included excursions -
Snowshoe Intro - is a walk across the frozen lake just across the road from the hotel.  You then trek up into the woods - important word here is UP.  This is the most strenuous activity on the trip.
Northern Lights Forest Trek - a gentle walk around the back of the hotel & school grounds.  Sadly we didn't see the lights, but it was a nice experience sitting around the fire with a hot juice.
Husky Sledding - I didn't enjoy this (hubby loved it) - I thought it should have been much better organised with those not wishing to go fast being placed at the back.  Inevitable accidents with sleds capcizing due to dogs trying to get past slower sleds in front.  Also no warning of how bumpy the surface is for those who have bad backs/joint problems.  When we reached the end, there was no-one around to tell us how to get out and a couple of our group got lost in the grounds.  This was by far the coldest activity we undertook with hand and feet warmers being essential.
Snowmobile safari - great fun - better organised than the dog safari and with this being at night it was magical driving on the frozen lake with vast open space.  Wish it had been longer.
Reindeer camp - animals tethered to back of sleigh in front.  You just sit there while staff at the front walk around a circular route.  Nice and gentle.

Last day - a long day as you have to be out of your room by 9 a.m. and the coach didn't depart until 2 p.m.   Perhaps another activity could be arranged to fill in this time Transun?
Would we book again - absolutely yes !

Transun Northern Lights holiday

Travelled with Transun in the hope of seeing the Northern Lights. Small group from the planeload staying at the Jussan Tupa. It is a lovely hotel despite being so small. It is family run and feels really like home from home. The rooms are clean and warm and the food, whilst plain, is definately what is needed in the cold, hot and very filling! The tour on the whole was wonderful and I met some great people. The tour guide Lisa was great and very helpful and I had the most wonderful time
