Arctic City Hotel

I had a fantastic stay at the Arctic City Hotel, a charming boutique property. The breakfast was excellent, offering a great variety to start the day. The on-site restaurant served amazing food, and the downstairs bar was outstanding, with a vibrant atmosphere and top-notch drinks. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, making the experience even better. I will definitely stay again!

Lovely hotel in city centre easy access to other places. Rooms compact, clean and restaurant excellent. Only negative is some rooms windows face directly on car park needs net curtain to block. Should warn customers prior to stay about view from those rooms as is a privacy issue and disappointing to keep curtains closed all the time for privacy. Good for those with allergies food clearly labelled.

Good location to town center , good service! Hotel clerk are very friendly and helpful!

Very nice hotel. Supermarket is located near the hotel. Nice and clean sauna inside.
Nicky was so friendly and helpful!
I recommend this hotel.

Okei hotel. The private sauna did not work and the staff did not help out

Great Stay at Arctic City Hotel – Convenient Location & Good Service:
We had a pleasant two-night stay at Arctic City Hotel and would recommend it for travelers looking for a well-located and comfortable stay in Rovaniemi.

Prime Location – Right in the Heart of Rovaniemi:
The hotel is perfectly located in the town center, making it incredibly convenient. It’s within walking distance to shopping malls, cafés, restaurants, and supermarkets, so everything you need is easily accessible.

Friendly Service & Smooth Check-In:
The reception staff were welcoming and friendly, and the check-in process was smooth. One thing we really appreciated was that this hotel does not charge a deposit—they only take your credit card details for security, which was a nice and hassle-free approach.

Cozy & Well-Equipped Room:
The room isn’t very large, but it’s cozy and comfortable for two people. If you have large suitcases, space might be a little tight, but it’s still manageable. The basic in-room amenities were great, including a kettle, small refrigerator, and complimentary coffee and tea.

The shower was a pleasant surprise—not only was it well-designed, but the hotel also provides Rituals-branded shower gel, which was a lovely touch!

A Few Downsides:
One thing that felt a little odd was the full wall of mirrors in the room, which can be a bit creepy, especially at night. Another issue was the glass panel between the bedroom and shower—it’s only covered with a ¾ mirror, meaning privacy isn’t great. Additionally, if you wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, the bright bathroom light shines through the uncovered glass panel, which can easily disturb the other person sleeping.

Breakfast – Simple but with a Luxurious Perk
The breakfast buffet offers a basic selection similar to other hotels, though the menu doesn’t change much from day to day. However, what really stood out was the complimentary champagne at breakfast—a generous and luxurious touch for those who enjoy a little indulgence in the morning!

Final Thoughts
Overall, Arctic City Hotel is a great choice if you’re looking for a well-located, comfortable, and well-managed hotel in Rovaniemi. The friendly service, cozy rooms, and convenient location make it a solid option, despite a few minor design quirks.

Had a short stay here because we had an early morning flight. Room was cosy and clean. Hotel location was great. Did not go for breakfast as we had to leave early to the airport. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great place!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Arctic City Hotel to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the experience was flawless, thanks to the amazing team and the hotel’s thoughtful touches.

A massive thank you to Gabriela, who went above and beyond to make our stay truly special, and to Nicky, who was equally fantastic. Gabriela’s efforts in organizing a private sauna session were a highlight of our trip—an unforgettable touch that made our celebration even more memorable.

The hotel itself is simply perfect. From the hearty and delicious burgers served in the pub downstairs to the exquisite meals in the main restaurant, every dining experience was outstanding. My personal favorite, however, was the breakfast—the porridge and bacon were absolutely to die for!

The location couldn’t be better. Situated right in the heart of Rovaniemi, the Arctic City Hotel provides the perfect base for exploring the city while offering a cozy retreat to return to after a day of adventure.

This hotel has now officially become my favorite place to stay in Rovaniemi, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon. Thank you again to Gabriela, Nicky, and the entire team for making our stay so unforgettable!

Highly recommended.
