to get started.

The hotel is located in the city center, very convenient and comfortable. The hotel was priced lower than nearby hotels and suited our comfort needs well. The bed was comfortable. There were a lot of nice restaurants nearby. Friendly staff and the internet was exceptionally fast!

The accommodation is basic but satisfactory. The room was compact but not too small. All basic accommodation needs are covered. Heating was good and shower worked well. Having the restaurant downstairs was very convenient and the location is excellent, close to major tour operators and within walking distance (just) of the train station although walking 20 minutes isn't so good if it's icy.

Everything you can need, was thought by hostel. You don’t need to ask something to somebody because they’ve already written and put shared areas. Shower, sauna and toilets were clean. Room and bed were clean. Location was good, you can walk city center and arktikum.

The breakfast each morning was amazing! A great spread of options and all of it delicious. Like more of Finland, there is a sauna in the hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable.

The staff was super helpful and friendly. We ended up arriving after they closed at 9pm, so just a heads up to check your email/text because they send you info on how to get your key after they close if needed. The breakfast was perfect and they arranged taxis for the train station for us.

I've stayed at a lot of hostels and this one was really clean and comfortable. The beds were super comfy too. It was located near the main square of the town, so that was nice. The breakfast was good as well.

Natasha

It can be easily accessed by the bus from the airport as there were shuttles who services all of the hotels in the city centre. The bus stop going to the airport, and Santa Clause Village and Santa's Park is also nearby. The tour offices were also just around the hotel that make it really ideal place to stay. There were convenience stores/bar/fast food around so you are in good location, really. Staff were really accommodating from the beginning when I had a problem with my card payment. They reassured me right away until we checked-in then checked-out, nothing can be complained of. The breakfast buffet has a generous spread that we got to try and enjoyed. Overall, I enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend to my friends!

It was a very cozy hostel with a nice cafe. I liked the tea and cakes there. Good location, walking distance from the train station, very close to the center, a bus stop nearby. Great and healthy breakfast.

Breakfast was good but they served the same menu every day, it's better if they can change it, at least once in two days. There was no TV in the room, this wasn't a big deal, but it's better if we had one in the room.

Nothing negative hostel wise to note. There is a few more doors than the standard hotel to juggle to get from reception (in the cafe)to the lift with your luggage but that's more an issue when you have two bags a person. Negligible otherwise.
Having stayed at hotels this was a first in a hostel - given we have a private room with private bathroom it is probably unjust to compare to a hostel style but in terms of the room it was clean bright floorboards. Room was efficiently laid out. Comes with wardrobe with hangers and a fold out table if you need more space. Perhaps a more solid side table next to beds would have been good as its a crate style so small items falls through the crack but hardly a negative. Overall it is a central Rovaniemi location. Everything nearby is walking distance. Shuttle direct from airport for 7 euros drops you out the front (note other shuttles are near but not direct so make sure you research beforehand). Suits travellers just wanting a clean and secure room to sleep after being out end of day. Came with simple breakfast of bread , cold meats, oats porridge, coffee, juices etc included. Dorm rooms i believr are 7 eur for brekky.

snoring, but that's standard with hostels. Hostel itself completely fine!
The location of this hostel is excellent. Staff had plenty of local knowledge and the cafe area is nice and clean - very good for killing time waiting for a coach or just staying warm. I was in a big dorm but plenty of space in the building to go if snoring keeps you up!

“Contemporary, great living room and breakfast area for hang out”
- • Leisure trip

Indoor parking had to be paid for 10,- per day, no lenience on parking after check-out (not even an hour). From a hospitality point of view I would have gone the extra mile. The excuse was they had many cars (possibly coming), there were maybe 2 spots taken. However, this has not put a negative influence on our total stay. All was good.
Breakfast is good, the space feels very open but cosy at the same time. Design is well done. The private room we booked (not a dorm) was sufficient, simple and clean. It felt good. Location is perfect and the hotel is definitely a popular place to stay. All ages welcome here.

-The only thing that would have made our stay even better would be to have a kettle in our room though there is one in the shared kitchen area upstairs that all guests are free to use
-We loved our stay at Hostel Cafe Koti! It’s a cosy, chic and scrupulously clean little gem in the heart of Rovaniemi on a charming street next to Lordi Square and some great restaurants. Many tours offer pickup from the hostel or on the same street -The hostel has an eco friendly focus and lovely atmosphere in general. We enjoyed returning to it each day and chilling out in the charming reception/cafe, which has some tasty offerings and also caters for food intolerances -Breakfast was good and we also recommend and enjoyed privately renting out the sauna after a day playing in the snow! Guests can also generously pop into the sauna for free during specific timeslots each day. The hostel also had a lovely rooftop bar and hot tub though this was temporarily shut being heavily covered in snow. It looked like a lovely place to be when the weather is more summery! -We were blown away by the offerings the hostel had, especially within a budget friendly price range, so we would definitely return- thanks for a great stay!
