Clean room, friendly helpful staff. Fabulous location. I know that a lot of people stay in the Christmas village, but there isn’t a lot to do for adults. This place is central to everything that we wanted to do.

The staff at this hotel were extremely friendly from when we first dropped our bags off to when we left. our flight got cancelled out of rovaniemi and the staff were accommodating and let us store our luggage in the room and stay on the lobby whilst we waited. Would recommend to anyone coming to rovaniemi!

The shower was quite dirty. Breakfast and dinner were not worth the money. It is in a good location, the room was also quite big. A budget friendly option for an expensive destination.

Very basic hotel, location is great but staff is not friendly at all, esp the blonde lady with glasses. Bed is very hard, thin mattress on divan. Pillow is very flimsy and uncomfortable. Bathroom has a bit of smell from the pipe, soap is terrible so bring your own. Breakfast was acceptable, not the best but at least there are some toast & jam.

Really good budget hotel. Clean & everything you need. Easy walk into city centre. Was able to hire winter clothes through the hotel. Staff extremely friendly. 20euros for laundry. Breakfast range was good - cereal and hot food options. Dinner was amazing - 3 different hot meals, plus salad bar and soup options. Tea and coffee included. Only negative was the rooms were so so so cold.

Old small hotel in Rovaniemi, the location is convenient, staff extremely amicable and friendly. The only inconvenients are the stairs since there are no elevators and the room’s bathroom which is very small. However, if you are staying for just a few nights, I think the hotel is a good option.
