Guest Houses in Rovaniemi

We had a fantastic stay at Virpi Villa! Even though we arrived late, the hosts were incredibly accommodating and provided us with the key at midnight. The villa was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. Great location and peaceful surroundings. Highly recommend!

Its a great place to spend your vacation in Roavniemi. It’s also near the city center so you can also visit there by walk. The host was really nice and welcoming. Despite arriving late due to some circumstances and we still got the key and had a smooth check-in.

Such a beautiful and warm place, hosted by very sweet and loving people. They are very helpful and welcoming. Thanks a ton to them for making our stay very comfy in Rovaniemi. 😍🥰

Amaizing place, very Comfortable, nice hosts, close to city center, peaceful location. Everything you need by hand, even a shop.

Me and my girlfriend had a very nice stay at Villa Virpi! It's a very cosy and warm place with nice people. And their dog is very cute! We recommend staying here if you travel to Rovaniemi - it is very close to Santa Claus Village (10 minute car ride) and less than 5 minutes walk to the supermarket. Rovaniemi town is only a 5 minute car ride also! Thanks Villa Virpi, we had a great time!

Very good decor and comfortable. The bathroom is very awkward though. My tall friend couldn't fit there

The staff were really friendly and helpful. They tried their best to communicate with me by Google translate. The location might be challenging for you to carry a luggage to Rovaniemi station in the winter. Luckily, the supermarket market is quite near. The room was totally fine to have a safe and quiet space to sleep well. By the way, they did not provide luggage keeping for before and after check...

Really nice choice, near train station Staff is nice, breakfast is cool Jus cant put luggage here after check out and check out time is a bit early Shower Water is hot enough,shared kitchen can use until 2100 , i would recommend here

This is a super nice little guesthouse. Breakfast is fantastic, staff is very nice and helpful. The common kitchen has everything you need to make tea or put your food in the fridge. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is a constant hot water issue. This was especially in the evenings. One evening there was no hot water at all; I let the water run for nearly 10 mins! It was ice cold! Two other...

The hotel was in a very good location. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Unfortunately, the water was always lukewarm to cold. Even the lukewarm water wasn’t enough to rinse off properly.

My room was very clean and functional. You have to borrow a hairdryer. Staff friendly, breakfast good. Only wifi was not ideal in my room at the end of the hall. The location is great. Behind the building there is a path to the train station (150 m). What you can't find on Google Maps: there is a cheap public bus line to the center in front of the door, line 4. Download the app. At the train station...

The location is conveniently close to the bus station, the staff is friendly, the breakfast was quite nice

- Host 5+ - Cottage 5+ cozy and everything you need is provided inside, stunning view and quiet place where you can come to peace - best to have a car, but also buses to the city available

My experience was really good Here. I had everything I needed Kitchen , sauna , privacy , comfortable bed , wifi.. Paula was really helpful thank you for helping me out.. She was really friendly and caring 🇫🇮 ☃️ 🎅 ✨️👌 Gracias

Very nice views along the river! All very clean. It has games for the children and private saunas that are wonderful. The only problem is that there are few light points, the second day we could not plug in the caravan.

Most authentic reindeer farm i saw in Rovaniemi. No fancy led lights and not commercialized. Great people taking great care of their customers and their animals

It is place to fall in love with. I stayed in cabin nr.20, a cosy little house with so much love for details. Very clean, quite, directly at the riverbank. There is a nice, well equiped kitchen inside, and a spotless bathroom/toilet. The wifi is lightning fast and free. I wish I could have stayed longer. Best accommodation in Finnland for me. Paula is a very friendly host (she speaks german too)....

Wonderful place! You have everything for a great rest. The minor problem is that is not in the city soy you need a taxi and the internet is no so good in the cottages. But it is totally worth it

Thank you very much for the possibility to stay with my two dearest furry friends ❤️❤️ We stayed only one night this time. The owner is very friendly. The room was very clean and well-equipped. There was even a wash-basin inside. The bathroom and toilets were clean. I was welcomed to leave my luggage at the reception after checking out while walking in town and waiting for the bus. We will surely come...

The owner is one of the most kind people I have ever met in hotels. He is helpful and they were keeping the hotel extremely clean. All the rooms are with shared bathroom that was always clean, like nobody has ever been there. Everyday they are cleaning the room and throwing the rubbish. One day we forgot our key and called him to open us and with no problem he came from where he is living to open us...

Old building but really clean and peaceful. We had a sink in our room which I liked it. There were also coffee maker, electronic kettle, fridge, microwave oven and some plates and glasses also. I liked our balcony.

The owner and the staff are very helpful and friendly. It's very clean and tidy. Though the toilet and the bathroom are shared still it's very clean. The room was decently spacious for a couple. Close to city centre.

It's a very cosy and homey place. Warm, clean, spacious, neat. It has big windows. The staff are friendly. It feels like at home.

The property is walking distance from city centre. Airport is only 10 mins in a taxi. I am grateful for other residents, staff and the owner who opened my room when I'm locked out. Met wonderful people. I had a great time. I would definitely recommend this property.

The guest house is located at a walk-able distance from Rovaniemi main bus station and the city centre. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. There's a common kitchen for use by the residents. The Arktikum museum and garden also close by so you can easily walk searching for aurora in winter. Above all, the owner and his team was quite helpful.

I was very happy to stay in this accommodation. It was very clean, as to enter you have to take off your shoes. The staff was very friendly and helpful with us. They gave us a lot of advice on what to do. The room is large and spacious. I highly recommend it

Very nice place, very friendly staff. Clean rooms, nice lounge and kitchen. Staff very friendly and willing to help and advice. Definitely recommend it.

Great an cozy place, very close to everything. Well maintained and always clean. Ran by a family who is going to make your staying like if you were in your own home. Definitely I'm going to choose this place on my next visit to Rovaniemi. The owner gave me a lot of tips about the city that let me experienced the life in Lapland as if I were a local. The staff is very friendly and I have left the place...

The rooms not spacious, very small.other than that the reception was great and helpful. The restaurant is good. We have stayed for 7 nights. The only downside is the room which is not spacious enough for 2 and their luggage. Lack of cabinets also

Location is central which is convenient for those with cars like us. We noticed the reception was almost always 'totally full' with roomless tourist groups and their bags. It is not pleasant to have to almost step over people walking in and out of the building. Hence only 4 stars. Reception staff were helpful. Restaurant was very good and the local waiter was fantastic - gave us a lot of cool insights...

I had a pleasant stay overall. The breakfast was quite nice, with a good selection of options to start the day, though it was the same menu every morning, which might get repetitive for longer stays. The hotel is very central and has a mall with grocery store accross the street. The room itself was very basic—clean and functional, but it lacked tea and coffee-making facilities, which was a bit of a...

Ideally situated in the heart of the city, directly across from a shopping center with a well-stocked supermarket, and within close proximity to restaurants and tour operators. The buffet breakfast was extensive and delicious. The staff were friendly and highly accommodating.

Location is perfect. Service is very good. The rooms themselves are not soundproof, so you hear all the excited kids in the corridor, and they lack tea/coffee in the room. Come on, if you're paying a few hundreds euros per night, you can add a boiler, tea and coffee. Breakfast is good (4 out of 5).

Very nice experience here in early August. Family room is spacious and cozy and perfect for 4 people. A separate area for coffee bar/coat hanging outside toilet. Visited the Sauna in 5/F which is great for Finnish experience. Buffet Breakfast is far better than expected as various choices of drinks available, and supply of food is really abundant. Staff are more than nice to help. As some luggage...

One of the best stays we had in our travels around Europe. It is an expensive place but the staff and the service provided surely makes you feel worth the money. If you're lucky like us and see the northern lights from your bed that's the cherry on top.

It’s conveniently located 10mins walk from Santa Claus village. The room and service is excellent. However, if you are expecting to see aurora whilst lying in bed, it’s probably not going to happen. Given the nature of auroras, you really need to chase it. Which also means, the bulk of time, you are not in the room - which makes the ROI of a glass igloo rather low, given it’s so expensive.

We stayed at Santa’s Igloos Artic Circle for four nights. The igloos rooms are small, nice in its way for two people, comfortable and cozy enough. Unfortunately, there was no northern lights during our stay due to the cloudy sky. The hotel is conveniently located about 15 minutes walking distance to Santa Claus Village. Breakfast and dinner (main course) were included on our stay. The restaurant is...

I have nothing but very best reviews for this place. Elizabeth the host helped us a lot from check in, booking a tour, to rebooking an already booked northern lights tour. As well as Hugo who helped us as well with a booking. We were able to do an alternate tour. Dinner food was great as well as the services, the breakfast is plentiful with a wide selection and very good. Service is very good overall...

We came to the restaurant to eat. From the outside decor to the inside lobby area, it gives a warm and inviting vibe. The restaurant opens at 17:00 and from what I gather, if you stay at the resort, your main dish is free but all other items must be purchased. As non staying guests, we obviously paid the entire bill. We chose mocktails for drinks: blueberry lime and blackberry with ginger. Both were...

During our 5 night stay, our expectations were exceeded. The setting and views were amazing and the restaurant was well above average - the service was very quick, the staff very friendly and the food was exceptional. Highly recommended.

Great hotel, I appreciate that we were out of season but very good value for the quality of hotel. Central location next to Lordi square and resteraunts

You are very well greeted by a smiling face ELLA. In fact she goes a step ahead to assist on making a travel plan if you need. Hotel has a spacious restaurant and a well designed breakfast buffet. A lot of vegetarian options available in breakfast menu 👍

I took part in a conference held here and bough breakfast in the restaurant. The conference rooms and area were spacious and well equipped with a separate dedicated lounge room and the breakfast was delicious (I only wish they had real juice). I visited my friends room and the rooms also looked comfortable and big and all in all everything looked nice and clean and modern. The only downside was the...

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Location is truly amazing (in the center of the town). Our room windows were facing the main street. Super nice touch is the sauna on the 5th floor. We used it every day. Rooms are cozy, spacious and modern.

Great service, great location, great range for breakfast. Nice spaces, big clean rooms. Very central. Bedrooms do become fairly warm, becames a bit overwhelming when changing into thermals! Nice and quiet. Great for everyone, especially families.

Certainly a fantastic stay with a prime location. Pros: The hotel enjoys an exceptional location, accompanied by a delightful breakfast and an impressive restaurant. Furthermore, the room includes a well-functioning sauna, enhancing the overall appeal of the stay. Everything you need is within walking distance. Cons: The stay was too short, and a notable downside was the absence of a phone...

Sauna in the room was a great highlight & food was delicious. All the staff were very helpful & friendly. Got lucky and saw amazing aurora from hotel's rooftop after dinner.

Nice experience overall expect that we booked 2 nights for a luxury room with sauna and we are told there is no sauna room available when we arrive at the reception. We only had 25% off the dinner at the restaurant...We had to negotiate to be upgraded the next night (which we were and it was nice). Also we were told we could not eat our own food at the reception which is a shame when we know the price...

We came here twice for afternoon tea and coffee by the fire. The coffee was the best I tasted of all the hotels we visited in Finland. The hotel has a very beautiful, relaxing, and cosy atmosphere. It is worth coming here just to enjoy the stunning views from the café (ground floor) and restaurant (first floor). The gift shop had overpriced but beautiful Lapish wooden mugs and gnomes. We'll visit again

Here's a more professional revision of your review, divided into two paragraphs for clarity: Upon arrival, we checked in with a booking for a twin room, a single room, and a premium room. While the twin room was fine, there was an issue with the single room as it was not the correct one. We had to return to the front desk, where, after some back-and-forth with an employee (a Colombian lady), we were...

A place where you simply feel at home. We booked a deluxe room with sauna and we're very happy with the decision. The room was cozy, the sauna worked like a charm, everything was clean and nicely designed. The staff was lovely but on occasion you do have to wait at the bar or the reception when there is more to do. The hotel is slightly out of the city but you can easily walk to Rovaniemi in 45 minutes...

Great location about 3.5 kms from the centre of Rovaniemi and Ounasvaara ski slopes are literally right next to the hotel. There’s a beautiful walking trail that loops the area, which makes for a great walk around the surrounding area or into town. The hotel and rooms are warm and cosy and there’s a lovely open fire place in the lobby that’s a perfect place to warm up and relax after coming in from...

We stayed at this lovely hotel for two days and it was a very good experience. At the right price the cabin offers a lot of space and a cozy atmosphere. Bed is super comfortable. Sofa-bed not quite but not bad also. Fridge and microwave, helps to eat some meals in the cabin. In the room you will also find a coffee maker (but not coffee) and a teapot. Sauna es fantastic!

Employees adorables. Beautiful place. Santa Claus very nice. But : really expensive ! 30€ the small photo. Restaurant expensive too. breakfast not very good. Stairs, not handicap accessibility for toilets.

I stayed at Santa Claus Holiday Village a coupe od times. In the Winter we can feel a Christmas Magic: visit Santa Claus, had a beautiful meal in Three Elfs Restaurant and warm up in a comfortable room. The sauna in the room is just a nice perk to the stay! In Spring I explored the area of the Santa village, admiring the beautiful nature. Both apartaments and cottages are very spacious. In Spring...

This place is magic. Everything was perfect and We enjoyed every moment. The cottage was big, clean and fantastic. The breakfast is excellent with lot of choices. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Lot of things to see and to do.

It's a magical place, childhood dream to meet Santa.The cottage were fully equipped with personal sauna. Evening lights make village a fairytale. Breakfast is very good and lots of food options for lunch & dinner. Three elvs is one of best. Moreover Rovaniemi in Finland, the enchanting Arctic wonderland where the nights were illuminated by the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights—nature’s most beautiful...

Amazing, amazing, amazing! First time there and it was a magical experience for my young children. The only thing stopping me from putting 5 stars is the cost, because it is expensive in the village. However, it doesn't sour the experience and I'd go again. Recommend the whole tour excursion, where you do a reindeer ride, tobogganing and husky ride in one day. It includes an excellent lunch at...

I have been there for 3 days and I am really happy. What I loved most was the breakfast. The owner is super nice and he gave me a lot of advices about the city!

Excellent service, affordable and convenient. I arrived at midnight and was greeted by my name, handed the key card and told when breakfast was and where: the least hassle I've ever had when checking in to a hotel. The buffet breakfast has hot eggs, bacon and sausage as well as porridge, cereals, croissants and other cold food. The sauna is excellent; large and clean and hot. The room was comfortable...

Came late night at 12 for a coffee, the waiter in The restaurant bar ,made freshly ground coffee , very good hospitality.

It is pleasant to stay here. Stuffs are extremely helpful. The food is good. Dinner and bf were very good

They kept cleanliness. There aren’t any amenity. You don’t take bath towel. There are some kinds of tea and pot. We often use supermarket and we borrowed spoons . We could leave our own luggage in the luggage room both before check in and after that. But that room is easy to come in, so you must use your own key to protect your luggage. However this service is so helpful!

The hotel might be not quite in the center of Rovaniemi, but it's great! Cery cozy, nice breakfast and confortable. Nice sauna as well

Good location in the city center. Nice to be able to walk to restaurants and relax in the hotel in between activities. About 2 blocks from the bus stop. The American style bar downstairs was great with quick service. Only negative was the shower which was so small! I believe this may just be Finland in general, not sure, but a typical obese American would not fit into this shower. I weigh 140lbs and...

Great little gem of a place. Convenient location, close to lots of things but not too close. Staff was great and was super helpful, I wish everyone at everyplace I go was as nice and helpful as these people. I’ll only be here for a short stay but will definitely keep this in consideration for the next trip.

Excellent location, good breakfast and friendly reception. But, rooms are small, not enough space to hang your clothes and bathroom is tiny, smelly, and water from the shower leaks everywhere. But you have a utensil to clean it up… This is not Ok for the price and not in line with the rest of the hotel. (Room 211)

Overall we had a great experience with the hotel. The staff were friendly, efficient, helpful. The breakfast was one of the highlights of our three day trip. They have everything!! The restaurant is also had a very warm and calming presence (what other hotels have candles on display during breakfast?). The room was nothing too spectacular, the decorations were nice but the size was a bit on the smaller...

This hotel offers a clean and modern environment, with the added luxury of high-quality bathroom products by Rituals. However, the rooms are relatively small and may feel cramped for those seeking more space. While the price is on the higher side, certain aspects of the stay help justify the cost. The breakfast is a standout feature, offering a wide variety of fresh, locally sourced items. The pastries...

We arrived well in advance of our check-in time and hardly expected to be let in. But oh, we were so wrong, fortunately! We got to our rooms at 9 am in the morning (being off-season might have helped). Staff was polite and courteous. Got all the information we wanted from the reception. Breakfast was great with quite a variety. Location can hardly get any better, bang in the middle of the city. Highly...

Very lovely and luxurious rooms. it’s very near to both the airport and Santa Claus village. Santa park is just right beside! The hotel staff here are all very friendly and professional. Thanks to the hotel team for the hospitality for me and my wife during our anniversary. The view at night is beautiful and they have valet service all day to transfer you from your room to the reception or Santa park

We didn't have the best weather (rain) & didn't get to enjoy the snow (none on ground) so maybe not a truly fair review but I found this place grossly over priced & lacking in the attributes expected at high end resort. Staff OK & attentive but atmosphere lacking. Rooms nothing special. Restaurant really over priced for what you were served although food quality good. Given an opportunity to go back...

We booked with arctic tree hotel to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and to see the Northern Lights. Staff, every single one, went beyond and above to make us comfortable. They are a joyful and organized staff. The hotel itself is unique, spotless, and very well situated for viewing Northern Lights and visiting Santa’s village and the town of Rovaniemi. The restaurant is exquisite! The breakfast...

Truly beautiful and relaxing. The restaurant is delicious, though could use more vegan options. I would absolutely visit again.

Artic Tree House Hotel is truly a magical place to stay, especially when there is snow around. We had a fabulous view from our cottage, which wasn't too far from the reception, so walking to and fro was easy. If required, Reception will send a vehicle to pick up guests. Breakfast was a fabulous buffet spread. À la carte dinner was also good. The restaurant in the hotel is highly rated in the area....

Just came back with my family from 3 nights stay in the hotel to celebrate my bday. We had two separate rooms booked. In summary, it is a beautiful location, the rooms are small but comfortable. Breakfast is good, dinner just ok. Hotel has absolutely no communal facilities, like a games room, or even a living area to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. You pretty much pay for the room and breakfast. Everything...

A Very warm and cozzy hotel, I liked the rooms, the staff were very nice and handful and the food was okay too. Located exactly in the central area where local bars, casino, rastuarnts, several malls and a 24/7 market can be found, also close to the lake and a spacial view point where at night you can see the amazing northen lights (aurora) if you get lucky enough 🤞

Centrally located. Walk to immediate amenities. Friendly staff. Rooms clean and comfy. A bit pricy but worth it for convenience.

Room was coldish and could not turn up the heat. Room was ok but they said they upgraded us. Still with minus 14 degrees I would have liked a little bit more warmth.

We stay there for 4 nights. It is warm and clean. The breakfast is good. The sauna is free but we do not have time to try. We can buy post card and stamp. Free wifi is every where. But it is a bit too old, the bed is too soft for us.

The room was warm and sauna - medium Breakfast - monotonous daily. convenient location - city center, close to shopping centers,shops, cafes and restaurants.

The hotel is a good place to stay, but I would avoid this if you want to have breakfast as part of your stay. Orelse you will have 8 minutes walk to the main Santa Hotel. Otherwise it was clean and comfortable

For me it was ok that the reception was in the other building. I actually found the surrounding very good! I liked that it was in the center and you had everything what you needed near you! I only ate the breakfast once and it was on my last day before checking out! The reason was because it was in the other building! When i arrived and checked in it was all very good! When i got in to my room -...

Good honest hotel. No amenities you need to go to Santa Claus Hotel for breakfast etc, but clean comfortable quiet and restful night guaranteed

Rooms where nice, but the hallway looks like a dentist office from the 70s. Super enjoying that checkin is on the other side of town. But for the price it's excellent!

Just a little bit far from the center, hotel Rudolf Is a small but very very very nice place to stay in Rovaniemi. Clean. Confortable. Peacefull. The only """""strange"""" thing Is that you have to di check-in first at Santa's Hotel and then you can go at Hotel Rudolf, but really It doesn't matter. I really loved this Place.

Hotel rudolf offers star-hotel and hostel-hotel separated by 15 mins walk. For hostel-hotel, it is inexpensive, offers nice and clean common kitchen, good bed with attached bathroom. However, you need to go to its main hotel to get the key card and other official stuffs. If you are traveling to Rovaniemi, i would strongly suggest this hostel-hotel.

For anyone not staying at the Santa sport hotel, you can still come here and use the gym for less then 10 euros. Great if you are a tourist who is just looking for a gym thats open

Incredible family hotel, I was very sad we only spent 1 night here! This place has everything! Games, bowling, pool, sauna, kids play/climbing area, etc. The only problem is that we spent the day driving around to Santa Village and Santa Park and we got there too late to enjoy anything. All of their activities (except the sauna) close at 8 or 9 and we had to leave early in the morning before they...

Visit SPA by all means! It's nice , clean and has many entertainments for children and adults: jacuzzi, tough showers, ice and hot water . We easily spent 1,5 hours there with my son, it was great!

The swimming pool here has side pools: one +6C and the one next to it +30C. Alternate after workout and feel great!

The location was great, the skis on the shoulder and we were already on the track / hill. There was no mention of final cleaning except in the cottage, that it should be done by yourself or booked at an additional cost. This could already be mentioned when booking. And there could be other detergent than just a dishwashing detergent that is leached in the bathroom ... No disinfectant detergent. Basic...

Beautiful cottage for privacy, we had a short walk to a k market and loved every moment here. We had prefect white Christmas. It is out of the way but if your after privacy and not sharing your yard with people this is the place for you!

Great location. Apartment was lovely and warm,. It was perfect for my family and had everything we needed

Everything was super Out first trip to Rovaniemi & this apartment was perfect & very central walking distance to shops bars restaurant ect we will be back & will definitely stay here Thanks you
