to get started.

Located at a very good location. The guesthouse is at a walking distance from city centre, bus station and train station. Rooms are also clean and nice with private bath. Highly recommended as everything is nearby otherwise you will spend lots of money in taxis

The breakfast was very good, and it was nice having a kitchen available to heat things up and use the kettle. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient to the train station, and there was a supermarket nearby. The walk into the main part of town was a little farther away than I had pictured.

We were not expecting this to be a Hostel. We thought it was a regular hotel. We were disappointed when we arrived but had no other choice. It turned out ok but what could we do! We at least had toilet paper in the bathroom!

The Guesthouse Borealis is a wonderful accomodation! The hosts are really nice and help you with every problem, the breakfast was amazing (even when there where only 3 guests one morning!) and the location is perfect. It's a little bit outside the centre, but the bus station and the railway station are nearby. And since it's a small town, the centre is easy to reach by walking. I would definately come here again!

This is a very nice property..very close to rovaneimi train station and bus station. Also its just 15 min walking from city center. The staff was very nice and cordial. We reached 2 hours before the actual check-in time but the room was ready and they were so kind to provide it to us.The room was crystal clean with all the amenities.The snow made the window view of the room even more awesome. This guest house is highly recommendable fron my side

“Short stay in Lapland”

Wifi in the room I got was simply not working, signal was really weak. Common areas have good WiFi connection, but those are closed after 9 PM. Weak insulation from street noise, as the room has double glass windows but no actual isolation. Hot water was coming and going (periods of hot water and cold water) and I could not have a normal shower while I was there. There is no way to let the personnel know about this from the room, you need to go out of the room somehow and then notify them.
Location is good, as is really close to the railway station. Breakfast was also good.

The facade of the building looked bad compared to how nice the guesthouse actually is. Don't let it fool you!
Lovely room with super comfortable bed and good facilities (ensuite bathroom, small fridge, wardrobe). Great breakfast and extra points for the cute mural in the stairway! Perfect location by the train station and next to the city centre of Rovaniemi.

“Happy Days, nice people, friendly faces in Borealis”
- • Business trip

well I was missing a bit of a comfy chair in the room, instead of a stool, but otherwise there is nothing to complain about at all
Guesthouse Borealis is a simple but cosy guesthouse just outside the center of Rovaniemi, the rooms are simple but good, in summer reasonable priced, a good breakfast with fresh cooked eggs is in the price, I mention this because most hotels and serve microwave scrambled egg these days :-( another important feature; the reception was excellent and a big smile welcomed me in. on the departure day I had to leave very very early, but it was offered to ready a breakfast for me, which I believe is truly very nice offered. so all in all, worthwhile staying there, you have a 1000m walk to the center of town, but the station is basically on the other side of the street.
