    The town lives in the shadow of Santa Claus Village but is worth sightseeing for itself. The modern architecture, the Arcticum museum, good infrastructure, nice surroundings - there is much to see and do for a couple of days.

    A nice town at the arctic circle, museums, sporting facilities, theatre, shopping malls, reastaurants, hotels. It has an airport connected with Helsinki, Dublin, Brusseles (and perhaps more). There is a whole village dedicated to the Santa Claus theme. There are buildings made from ice during the winter, some hotels and wedding-places among them.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit. In winter the city is under a lot of snow but has always trucks to get the snow out of the road, small rocks on the pavement to prevent from falling. Rovaniemi has a lot of green tracks and its is lovely to follow them along the river. Great places for children to play too. For dinner time, I can recommend the MonteRosa restaurant in the city center. Great and friendly service from all the employees, excellent food and drinks. (I can recommend the salmon soup, the grilled salmon and the reindeer cooked two ways). For lunch, I went to Cafe & Bar 21. It was busy from 12 to 15 (I guess very popular) but nonetheless very enjoyable. Combining the bar/coffee with Yuca (a mexican restaurant) is great because people can have different lunch if wished. The deserts are also excellent. For the activities, everybody can found something that they like. For the french people you can found the Nordic Odyssey office to book activities with a french translator (even if the english explanation I had where really understanding). It can always be helpful for the people who can't speak english. You can found supermarket everywhere and some of them are open until 22:00 which is great.

    I loved it all..the taxis are quite expensive but the bus was great..I loved it that much I wanted to extend my stay. I will be back to chase the Aurora, unfortunately it didn’t so due to skies full of snow.

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (at least for us). He was really communicative, giving us tips and tricks for aurora hunting. After we bought a picture we could take more with our own phone, made videos for our friends etc. We love that there are different places where you can barbeque during the walking. Lake from Artikum museum is a good place to see aurora. Loved the winter trails. Souvenirs are cheaper in SCV than in the city center.

    The centre of Rovaniemi is easy to get around and has plenty of shops and cafes, plus supermarkets if you're self-catering. It is a perfect snowy destination in winter. We visited the Snow Hotel (you need to dress up warmly as its pretty cold, but a vodka in the Ice Bar helps!) and also Santa Village, which is probably best for families with small children

    The property is hard to find. we had problem with water flooding and didn't drain out after shower. we cannot continue shower more than 1 minute and floor flooded. Sauna is not working. we email the property they never reply or apologize for the inconvenience. wifi not working. mattresses not comfortable. cleaning fee is included in the booking yet we have to take out garbage when we check out. I stayed at airbnb many times even never asked to take garbage out. what's the point paying for the cleaning?

    What a beautiful place ! The igloo surrounding by the forest is very cute, the view is beautiful ! You also have a great sauna. The best place to see Northern lights if the sky is clear enough. We enjoyed the local food, the snowshoes and all nice time we had with the staff ! Just a thing you need to know, is that the shower isn’t in the igloo but in the Sauna, which was not an issue for us. If you want an authentic experience, it’s the place you must go !

    We had a wonderful stay in the chalet. The location is nice and quiet, it's cozy and the view of the frozen lake is beautiful. We even got to see the northern lights! Easy check-in. About 20 min drive from Rovaniemi city, so better if you have a rental car (which I generally recomment when going to this area). We even took a typical Finnish ice bath and went to the outdoor jacuzzi afterwards - what a great experience!

    The hotel, despite its remote location from the city centre and lack of public transportation options, is located in a natural forest park adjacent to a ski resort's chairlifts. The superior rooms and those offering views are notably pleasant. The restaurant and sky balcony have a very good view over the forest and Rovaniemi city. Both the breakfast and buffet (dinner) are commendable for their quality and variety.

    Our room was not as in the picture on Booking.com site. The size was good but the bathroom was total caos! Tiles missing, a sharp edge of the sink “inside” the shower. And I found the floors to be dirty or stained. The room is old. We booked to be in the SCANDIC hotel, but we were put in the Lapland tour building. Had to go out in the cold for breakfast, to by water and the elevator doesn’t work after 18:00

    A great location in the centre of town with a park for kids outside. Sledding and an ice rink in the park! It was a perfect place to stay. Clean and warm. Warm being very important in December in Finland! Lots of space in the apartment and a great host. We could not have asked for anything more from Joel. We (family of 4 with 2 kids aged 4 & 8) recommend very highly.

    I liked that the property wasn’t in downtown Rovaniemi, but still close enough. The property had E-bikes to rent that I did rent for 75 euros for the day or. 50 euros for 3 hrsg. My room was very clean, bed comfortable just wish more pressure from the shower, just a personal preference. Hotel very quiet. Breakfast was exceptional. I recommend staying at this hotel.

    The main hotel lobby and restaurant area were very cosy and inviting with a lovely atmosphere. The breakfast was great with excellent choice and good quality food. We also ate from the evening snack menu and found it very good. The Winter Sauna was a great experience and we loved that it was located right next to the ski resort.

    Great location downtown Rovaniemi. Everything can be done by walking (restaurants, shopping). You can get picked up from the hotel to do the activities (huskies, reindeer etc.) which is convenient. Breakfast is good. Room was clean. We ordered room service at night and it was good too. Good value for money.

    We arrived Rovaniemi from Helsinki by train and went to the hotel by taxi. It really has a good location. I think we can walk there if there is no snow. There are many shops, malls and restaurants nearby. Everything is convenient. It also provided free sauna and some activity introductions at reception.

    There was no breakfast although it is stated on booking.com that there is a breakfast. There is only public shower facility which is not at all convenient. The location is bad because you can only reach there via taxi which is expensive. However, for the cheap prices it is not too bad.
