A good place to stay

Not a bad place to stay. Room was nice, quiet (except some random low frequency intermittent noise), but it didn't last into the night. Close and convenient to downtown. A short walk, but not bad. Staff was friendly and breakfast wasn't bad.

Nice, modern hotel. Close to downtown 5-10min. Also close to the train station 15min. Breakfast buffet is very good. The staff is nice and friendly. The only downside is the small shower but overall, this is a great hotel for your visit to Rovaniemi.

If you're looking for luxurious accommodations, I'd pass. It's a little rustic. Almost spartan. But it was clean, quiet, comfortable, very friendly staff, and great breakfast buffet! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good deal and a good meal.

The staff were kind and efficient. The hotel itself was okay. The room was clean and the parking was convenient. It didn't seem to be very walkable but the weather also could have played a part in this. If I returned to the area, I would probably stay again.

Hotel was about a 2 block walk from downtown. Plenty of on site parking. Room was a decent size and clean. Came with bed sheets and towels. There's a mini fridge and small coffee station. The only "issue" I had was that check in was at 3pm. We had arrived at 1pm. They do have a luggage area so you can walk around without your bags until checkin

The hotel is close to the city center and a very convenient mall and restaurants. Great location. Only 9 minutes walking if there is not ice. Lordi Square, Nili restaurant, Pure burger and more all by walking distance even the bus to Santa Calus Village and airport. At the mall there is a Article Park office where you can be able to book the aurora tour and more. Also a supermarket. The breakfast is good many options. Sauna available only two hours based in a schedule. A little expensive but is close to de city. I booked two weeks before and l stayed four nights.

Such a wonderful stay at this hotel. Is was a little nervous initially to book but I'm so glad we stayed here. It's a small hotel and a little bit further out than others but it's a completely short walkable distance to the town center and bus stop to the Santa village. There's plenty of food for breakfast and the choice to pay extra for evening meals. Staff are so wonderful and the hotel and area was so quiet when we stayed in March which we loved. Although the hotel was pretty full with guests it's probably the quietest we have stayed and it was delightful. The hotel itself is a little older but I would definitely stay here again if we were ever back in the area, such great value.

Gast war bereits im Zimmer…

Wir waren für eine Übergangsnacht da. Unser Flug kam weit nach Mitternacht an. Der Mitarbeiter an der Reception checkte uns ein, als wir die Zimmertür öffneten, lag da bereits jemand tief und fest am schlafen. Absolutes No-Go! Freundlicherweise bekamen wir dann ein etwas grösseres Zimmer, auch wenn wir das für diesen kurzen Aufenthalt nicht brauchten. Das Zimmer war sauber und in Ordnung, es ist aber alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen und sehr ringhörig. Fazit: ohne grosse Ansprüche für eine Nacht geht das, länger auf keinen Fall.

Vastaanotto ja vierailu h

Vastaanoton henkilö sisäänkirjautuessa vaikutti tressaantuneelta ja hyvin rasittuneelta, taisi olla loman tarpeessa. Huoneen varustelusta puuttui irtotuuletin ja sama henkilö ilmoitti pienen etsinnän jälkeen ettei tuuletinta ole tarjota. Ulkoilma oli hieman lämmin +28+30 astetta, samoin huone päiväsaikaan. Aamiainen kuivaa munakasta etc Sijainti ja yleinen siisteys oli hyvä mutta panostus omistajilta lie talvituristeissa joilta saa otettua paremman hinnan. Rovaniemellä aiemmin 20v asuneena oli mieli apea jos tämä on taso ja asenne kesällä kotimaan vierailijoille. Kiitos ja anteeksi että kävimme teillä.

Not staying again

The room was clean, but that was the only positive aspect. The hotel is a two-storey building located next to a busy road, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Breakfast was well below expectations, though the staff were friendly and welcoming. I will avoid next time!

Bra boende, centralt o ändå lite avsides, trevligt bemötande o bra pris. Frukost ingår i priset, ok utbud om än lite mindre. Tyvärr var brödet lite torrt. Väldigt små badrum/dusch på rummet, hela Toalettrummet blöts ner vid dusch.

Trivsamt hotell med bra läge.

Har bott på hotellet 2 somrar i samband med det traditionella besöket hos tomten på midsommaraftonen. Perfekt läge på promenadavstånd från Rovaniemis centrum och Arcticum och det nya skogs-museet. Enkelt att hitta när man kommer med bil och med fri parkering. Fullt tillräcklig frukost. Ett sommar-besök i Rovaniemi rekommenderas.
