Nice hotel and good service. Rooms are very nice. I ordered room cleaning service but it never came. Super dinner and average breakfast. Parking carrage is small with small spaces.

Double room with extra bed for the kid was very nice and spacious. Location was very convenient, close to restaurants and city center, Santa bus stop in front of the hotel. Sauna was great. Breakfast was ok. Unfortunately there was some noise from the corridors.

We stayed in a room with double bed. The room had plenty of space and it was just next to the guest saunas and kids playroom. We left our car at the parking hall (the fee was 12e, so not bad price at all). The breakfast was really tasty and there was plenty of options to choose from. We got excellent service through the whole time we stayed! Definitely a good place to stay when you visit Rovaniemi! Thank you!

A pleasant experience we had the artificial aurora borealis in the hotel room.I dont usually use the sauna but after about 5-6 hours spent outside in the cold, the hotel sauna was a blessing.

Ok not more. How this place could rate itself as a 4 Star hotel for luxury experience ... I dont know. It is ok and clean but do not expect something special for your money. Even if you spend a couple of hundred EUR per night, it is at the level of IBIS Hotel.

Excellent breakfast. Comfortable and firm beds. Decor very good. Only downside was no individual thermostat so room was too warm for me - however, you could open the window. Overall, a very pleasant experience!

Pros - Breakfast (Good enough for Vegetarians), close proximity to restaurants and tour companies, sleds available (for outside play), heard this was the best hotel here in Rovaniemi, had a public computer and saunas you could use.Cons - Thermostat (Located behind the curtainswas jacked, Bathroom has no fan, Funky smell coming out from the sewers of the bathroom (though it was probably only our room), no body wash.Neutrals - Beds, Very big on saving water so youre going to have to reuse your towel(sand if not, youre going to have to pay for another one.

The hotel is located near the river and the city centre. Nice place, the reception service is very good while the house keeping definitely needs improvement.Our room wasnt clean 2 days in a row. After that the soap cartridge was taken away / no refill, dirty socks under beds....

My hotel suite 358 was amazing. The staff was excellent. My only issue was that I received a 50 Euro parking ticket as I walked into the office to find out where to park. Just know that there is a parking garage behind the hotel. The 13 Euro parking per day is much better than dealing with a ticket from the Rovanimi police.

Theres a shuttle bus running from the airport to several hotels nearby at a cost of 7 Euro. Just check with the drivers which hotel you are staying and get on the bus. So getting to the hotel is easy. The hotel room is nicely decorated with a simulated aurora lighting installed which is quite interesting. Breakfast was ok, though not remarkable, but plenty of choice. Check in and out was easy and staffs were very very friendly, even the housekeeping staffs were smiling and greeting us everyday which I felt welcomed, and extremely homely. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to others.

Great hotel. Situated right in the heart of Rovaniemi. The staff was very kind and helpful. The hotel was very comfortable, clean, quiet and we enjoyed the Sauna. The beds are very comfortable and cozy, the engineering that goes into making those frames is absolutely fantastic. Would choose it again on future trips.

Great service, warm atmosphere and modern and functional rooms, also pleasing to the eye. The hotel staff were very helpful, when we had to ask about food restrictions and also some remedies for insect bites. Will most likely visit here again, if I need to stay in Rovaniemi.

Clean room and friendly staff. Our room was not that large, but no problem for few days stay. A bus station to Santa Village is right in front of the hotel. You can find a nice view of Lumberjacks Candle Bridge just few min walk from the hotel, it is out side to the left.

Room was cosy, but a bit too small in my opinion. The shower stall had a huge gap under the door and it wasnt elevated meaning that water would flow out of the stall easily during a shower. The service was good however. As we had a kettle that looked disgustingly bad, we requested for a change and they did it without hesitation. There was also free Wi-Fi available and the signal was strong. All in all, a hotel that is pretty nice to stay in Rovaniemi.
