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!

We visited Rovaniemi during a bit of bad period as it was just cold and wet, no snow and the leaves had mostly fallen of the trees
The in-house restaurants were good. Hotel is close to city centre. Also close to this hotel there is a nice cat cafe.

As a regular Guest of the Hotel, I am always very pleased by the reception, there is always a friendly word and a laugh. the Restaurant (Monte Rosa) is excellent with both Diner and Breakfast. personnel is friendly and helpful, not matter if it is the reception, restaurant of cleaning staff, they all carry a genuine smile, this tells something about the (work)atmosphere in the Hotel. the Hotel is situated in the center of town and only 9 min form the Airport. absolutely worth staying there.

“Fantastic location and good breakfast”
- • Leisure trip

The staff are not so friendly. As we are a group, we gather in the lobby sitting area after dinner to talk, relax and catch up on the day's happenings. We bought some canned drinks and snacks from the supermarket. We didn't know that it's not allowed in the lobby. We were NOT noisy as we are all matured adults. In fact we were almost finished when the staff came over to tell us that drinking in the lobby is not allowed. It would be nice if the staff tell us the rules and give us a warning since it's our first time. But instead she grumpily snatched our glasses away, empty or full, saying that it's not allowed.
Fantastic location, walking distance to everywhere nice, the room is good and clean but the bathroom a little small. Breakfast is very good, good spread and variety.

Turning off the main lights also means the electrical outlets stop working. So, if anyone wants to charge their phone while taking a nap are in for not very nice surprise. (There were eventually other outlets that worked without main light but I shouldn't be bothered to figure that stuff out on holidays.) Also, I'd prefer if the limited space of the room was used practically, not decoratively. Place on the table is much more needed for a kettle, than ornamental statuette.
Convenient location, very good breakfast.
