Santa Claus Holiday Village, hotel in Rovaniemi

Santa Claus Holiday Village is located at the heart of Santa Claus Village in the Arctic Circle, 5 mi north of Rovaniemi. Santa Claus Holiday Village offers three different types of accommodations.

The location is perfect to enjoy the holiday village. It's good to visit when the cold is not that bad like what we did during Easter break. The all you can eat buffet is actually very good and we really liked it. I think that's the best value lunch there as the price is ok.

    The town lives in the shadow of Santa Claus Village but is worth sightseeing for itself. The modern architecture, the Arcticum museum, good infrastructure, nice surroundings - there is much to see and do for a couple of days.

    A nice town at the arctic circle, museums, sporting facilities, theatre, shopping malls, reastaurants, hotels. It has an airport connected with Helsinki, Dublin, Brusseles (and perhaps more). There is a whole village dedicated to the Santa Claus theme. There are buildings made from ice during the winter, some hotels and wedding-places among them.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit.

    Rovaniemi is a really great city to visit. In winter the city is under a lot of snow but has always trucks to get the snow out of the road, small rocks on the pavement to prevent from falling. Rovaniemi has a lot of green tracks and its is lovely to follow them along the river. Great places for children to play too. For dinner time, I can recommend the MonteRosa restaurant in the city center. Great and friendly service from all the employees, excellent food and drinks. (I can recommend the salmon soup, the grilled salmon and the reindeer cooked two ways). For lunch, I went to Cafe & Bar 21. It was busy from 12 to 15 (I guess very popular) but nonetheless very enjoyable. Combining the bar/coffee with Yuca (a mexican restaurant) is great because people can have different lunch if wished. The deserts are also excellent. For the activities, everybody can found something that they like. For the french people you can found the Nordic Odyssey office to book activities with a french translator (even if the english explanation I had where really understanding). It can always be helpful for the people who can't speak english. You can found supermarket everywhere and some of them are open until 22:00 which is great.

    I loved it all..the taxis are quite expensive but the bus was great..I loved it that much I wanted to extend my stay. I will be back to chase the Aurora, unfortunately it didn’t so due to skies full of snow.

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (...

    Santa from the city center was better than the one in SCV (at least for us). He was really communicative, giving us tips and tricks for aurora hunting. After we bought a picture we could take more with our own phone, made videos for our friends etc. We love that there are different places where you can barbeque during the walking. Lake from Artikum museum is a good place to see aurora. Loved the winter trails. Souvenirs are cheaper in SCV than in the city center.

    The centre of Rovaniemi is easy to get around and has plenty of shops and cafes, plus supermarkets if you're self-catering. It is a perfect snowy destination in winter. We visited the Snow Hotel (you need to dress up warmly as its pretty cold, but a vodka in the Ice Bar helps!) and also Santa Village, which is probably best for families with small children

    Suvi & Mikko were exceptional hosts. Everything was so flawless starting from the location of the property to the view from the property and above all the warm welcome from our hosts. The property is perfect for a peaceful getaway while still being close to the city center where all tours operate from. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly throughout our stay and have a great role to play in the lifetime memories we captured on our first Finland visit.

    What a beautiful place ! The igloo surrounding by the forest is very cute, the view is beautiful ! You also have a great sauna. The best place to see Northern lights if the sky is clear enough. We enjoyed the local food, the snowshoes and all nice time we had with the staff ! Just a thing you need to know, is that the shower isn’t in the igloo but in the Sauna, which was not an issue for us. If you want an authentic experience, it’s the place you must go !

    If I had to use one word to summarize our stay, it would be: Exceptional! The design of the igloo/apartment was amazing. The views from the room were lovely, and the private hot tub + sauna were wonderful. They served the best breakfast in Lapland and we also enjoyed an amazing dinner at their restaurant. The staff was courteous, friendly, and did everything to make our stay amazing. If you have plans to visit Rovaniemi, you MUST stay here!

    Apartment was spotless. Suited our family of 2 adults and 4 children, much better than staying in a hotel. Apartment was well equipped with everything we needed. Very warm. Location was in the middle of Rovaniemi Town centre, lovely to enjoy walks by the lake and head out for food or hot chocolates. Santa claus village & Airport is a short riide away, 7 mins or so driving. Will definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing stay

    This is a great place you must book at least one night if you are planning to stay in Rovaniemi, very nice treatment. The room was clean, good space and free parking lot. Breakfast is included, the bus stop to arrive from airport or train is exactly in front of the hotel. As it is well know you can arrive very easy and you if you book some tours it is located 10 mins from the center, tour operations can pick you at the hotel .

    Responsive and kind staff accepted my packages and helped with declaration and delivery of one of them from the post office. This hotel exceeded my expectations compared to other more expensive hotels we stayed in Santa Claus Village near Rovaniemi. Caring staff, excellent breakfast, even with the fresh berries, location right next to the city center beautifully decorated for Christmas. We enjoyed being there.

It is in a nice location in the city with many amenities nearby. I especially enjoyed being able to go to the nearby Fitness Center which they have an arrangement with. Also, parking in the garage next door is free - very convenient!

    Everything was perfect. The room were very comfortable, warm and clean. We had a family room with a view over the river. We had a hot power shower which was just perfect every evening when we returned to the room. Hotel was a 1 min walk to centre with access to all shops, restaurants and approx 3/4 mins to McDonalds and Burger King. Angry Birds Children Park was approx 6/7 min walk.

    The breakfast was great! The location of the hotel is also perfect as it is really close to any major point of interest in Rovaniemi and to the bus stop going to Santa Claus's village. What was also really nice is that we could project our laptop screen to the TV in the room to watch some HBO shows! :)
