The hotel itself is rather functionally furnished, but offers all the amenities which a traveller might need. The breakfast is excellent and prepares you well for a day of exploration in Lapland. The friendly staff is an enormous asset - they helped us a few times with taxi bookings and even helped us to find an intercity bus schedule. The only downside is a somewhat neglected maintenance - there’s quite a bit of wall chipping which is probably a result of customers hitting them with big bags. However, those do not diminish the experience. Would not hesitate to stay here again! ##### Michal Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean but disappointed Rovaniemi is a small city so I’m not sure what the other hotels are like. While the service and location of this hotel was excellent, I didn’t understand the 4star hotel rating. There were holes in the curtains, the conditioner was almost empty when we arrived, there was no hand lotions, the shower rack was falling off the wall. There’s no safe in the room so we had to travel everywhere with our passports and valuables. I just expected a bit nicer accommodation for a 4star hotel. Again, the staff were friendly and the room was clean so I don’t want to seem ungrateful. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1935582113CCD5845E6CECC04969E4B6956474F21704207330821.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0A7A3EDF26C243D9475ECB403CE25D75DDC682EA1704207328112.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyndsey Lee 10 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Highly recommend this hotel ##### Lyndsey Lee Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anne 8 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Comfortable hotel in great location.

The two receptionists working on Monday 5pm were super not friendly and they did not even want to open the locker room for us to get our luggages. They also asked us to use the bathrooms in the restaurant not inside the hotel. Their attitudes were as cold as the weather in rovaniemi. ##### Yuan Yuan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### SANTA 16 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 受付の方も清掃の方も親しみやすい方でした。 隣接するレストランではトナカイのソテーをいただきました。初めてのフィンランド料理でしたが美味しかったです。店員さんも気にかけて会話していただいたりと、緊張せずに食事ができました。 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/364ffcc3-91f2-4da4-aa19-973e01b75cea-1771259889347.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b7980894-bb1e-4802-80c3-813e712b43ef-1771259888706.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16dfd745-befb-4cdb-ae52-87e05df87d91-1771259955701.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7a74cd5f-c540-4a5f-a7ba-4f5a124ff022-1771259960418.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### SANTA Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### TOMOKO 1 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 客室は普通に綺麗でした。サウナに行くのにビーチサンダル持参しても良い。水着の人もいるけど部屋のタオルを身体に巻いてもOK,フロント脇に電子レンジがあった。気がつくのが遅くて使わなかったけど、使えるなら、地元スーパーでお弁当買って温めて部屋で食べられるかも。ホテルに質問してみたら良さそう。 ##### TOMOKO Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### katja 3 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Siisti huone, henkilökunta otti hyvin vastaan, palvelut lähellä. mm ravintolat ja ostoskeskus lähellä ##### katja Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### MIYAHARA 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities スタッフの方がにこやかで、丁寧で、サンタクロース村へのバスの乗り方も快く教えてくださいました。朝ごはんがとても美味しく、味も種類もとても良かったです。 ##### MIYAHARA Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Pia 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Paikoitushalli on nykyautoille liian ahdas.

Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und wir fühlten uns sofort wohl. Auch das Doppelzimmer war top. Sehr sauber, Wasserkocher mit Tee, Kaffee, Kakao standen jeden Tag bereit. Zimmerservice täglich top. Als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge auch hervorragend, da die Bushaltestelle gleich gegenüber war. Frühstück war alles da, was man benötigte und auch genügend Sitzplätze waren vorhanden. Wir haben die ganze Woche nicht auszusetzen gehabt. Wir würden dieses Hotel jedem empfehlen!!!! ##### Kathrin Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### PIERRE 11 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hôte dans la ville de Rovaniemy fonctionnel mais manque de charme et de services ##### PIERRE Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ulla-Maija 15 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Kaikki sujui moitteettomasti. ##### Ulla-Maija Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosario 13 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ottimo Hotel in pieno centro e colazione super!
