to get started.

The location is perfect, right in the center of town. The staff we met was nice and the restaurant is very good.

Audunn, Iceland

The location was close to everything in the city center. Shopping, booking tours, and places to eat. The staff was very helpful and friendly with all our questions and requests! The room was clean and comfortable. The free breakfast buffet was good with a lot of options ( even reindeer pâté’). The sauna was nice and you can book a private one for $20 an hour. We arranged late check out as well with having a late overnight train booking and were happy to pay the extra amount. Wonderful stay!

Great location in the center, surrounded by restaurants and shops. They have their own parking. Very clean and nice room. We loved the breakfast too, and the restaurant in the hotel

Isi, Serbia

From the checking-in to checking out and everything in between was outstanding. Inquire at the front about the private spa. The staff was super friendly and especially Maria was awesome. Highly recommend booking the private spa. The cost is €20 per hour. The location was smack in the center. Bus rides to Santa Villiage is €3.50-€4 depending on type bus. Bus stop is around the corner. There is plenty of shopping and eateries to choose. There is a grocery mart that operates non stop across the street. Breakfast had a limited selection but it was tasty. The bull bar has happy hour from 22-24 and the bartender Olie was really nice and friendly. I will definitely stay here when I return to Rovaniemi.

“Very Comfortable with an Excellent Breakfast.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Luxury Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Our room was small but well equipped and clean. It is common that European rooms are small but adequate.
The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was arguably the best on our trip with a large selection that should suit everyone taste. We only stayed for one night and really didn't spend any time in Rovaniemi ... at least the downtown. We did visit the Santa's Village which was very well done.

The room was really small and we must of gotten an old one as it was quite dated so after seeing photos that was a bit disappointing. Not really worth the price
Really friendly staff and great breakfast spread. Easy to order a taxi the next day through staff. Comfy beds!

“Great central location with friendly staff.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
Bathroom is small but perfectly functional. Room also a bit small. Wished the bed was a double instead of 2 twins pushed together. WiFi was sadly slow. A bit expensive for the quality.
The staff in the hotel are very helpful and friendly. I had an early morning flight and was worried I'd miss the airport bus but was kindly given a wake-up call at 6am. The location is very central - the airport bus stops right outside and Santa Express stop is around the corner - shopping malls, adventure companies (Lapland Welcome), bars and restaurants (Roka Street Food) all very nearby. Room was fortunately nice and very warm when the temp outside is minus 10 to minus 15C (Early March). Breakfast was the normal hotel breakfast.

The price is normal for Rovaniemi, but for a similar hotel elsewhere - it would be overpriced.
This is a very central hotel, with good-size rooms, fine breakfast and friendly staff. It is exactly what I expected. No extras, no frills, and great location.
