loved the location but thought I had booked a room specially with a polar bear image on the shower door and a bigger room. The room was MUCH smaller than I anticipated to be honest and no such luck with the polar bear image. I know it seems silly to write this, but it was my Birthday and was disappointed with the room. Other than that the staff were so helpful and kind, dinner and breakfast were very very good, and it is an excellent location in the city

The location is perfect to walk around the town and visit main sightseeings of Rovaniemi. The staff was very helpful and explained main things during our stay. We were especially happy to see Rituals shower toiletries. Even though our room wasn’t big it was very nice, warm and cozy. Big bath and bathrobe made our stay even better after long cold walks.

Igor Russia

Unexpectedly we received a very early booking. It was really great. Amazing breakfasts. Great rooms. Excellent staff.

Tanya Poland
