Where to stay in Rovaniemi

Super friendly staff. We stayed in a different accommendation where we could not leave our luggage after check out. The lady at the reception in the Scandic helped us as we stayed before two nights in the Scandic in Tromso. Thank you so much.

Low-level hotel. We arrived at the hotel as part of a group, the room itself is nice and equipped with a TV. Some of the bedding had stains and there was a hair on one of the towels in the shower. The shower itself is very small with a claustrophobic feeling. One of the rooms we were given had no door to the shower, which forced us to change rooms. The breakfast was good and varied, but the dinner...

Excellent location, most of the restaurants are in approx 3-5min walk. Beautiful river in front of the hotel. Bus stop to Santa Claus village in front of the hotel. Safartica, Artic GM 2-3min away form hotel. We stayed in the new part of hotel in a family room. Excellent breakfast with a big choice.

Really good view of frozen lake. Good service and best kindly. Room is charming on rustic way. Restaurant is nice with tasty food and experience staff.

Breakfast is good. Coffee is good. Hotel staff and front desk staff are very helpfull. The hotel has very bare amenities. No bedroom slippers. No dental kit. No shaving kit. The packed dinner they provided did not have knife and fork. You have to request for new towels for the old ones to be replaced. No intercom in the room for communication with staff. You have to go down to front desk for your...

I was working in Finland and needed to stay over the weekend in a mediocre town with not much to do, so I decided to jump in the train to Rovaniemi. I picked this hotel as they have some balcony rooms and my sole purpose for coming was to try to catch a view of the northern lights. I didn’t have appropriate clothing for traveling into the wilderness to find a spot free of city light pollution so was...

We were only here for less than 12 hours due to train delay, but the hotel was the best we had encountered on our group tour. We arrived well past midnight, but receptionist welcomed us warmly. Rooms were modern and roomy, shower was excellent. Only hotel so far to have chromecast, and the northern lights display on the wall was nice touch. Breakfast - not a great deal on offer but we loved the white...

We stayed there for 3 nights as our travel agent booked this hotel for us as a part of an organised tour. Our experience was very positive. The location is great, everything (shops, cafes, landmarks) is at walking distance. The room was well equipped. The restaurant and the breakfast was also good. Some few negatives, did not spoil our enjoyable stay: Small reception area (crowded when groups check...

The hotel was ideally situated within walking distance to the vibrant city center and delightful restaurants. We felt fortunate to witness yet another breathtaking display of the aurora borealis shimmering behind the hotel, by the river. Dragons danced and curtains flowed in the sky, creating an unforgettable spectacle…

Receptionist was so friendly - i wish i remembered her name. The sauna was great and rooms were nice! Breakfast was excellent too.

Friendly, clean, perfect location in the city. All you need to have a great stay.

Best Coffee. Beds had springs, not a firm mattress. Close to confluence of rivers. Clean. Window can open?

Nova Skyland provides nothing but the best for their customers! Exceptional customer service and room of cleanest quality. Stayed in 3B (Honeymoon Cottage) and it was awesome throughout!!!

We booked here because we wanted to stay in the santa clause village. It can fit 4 ppl but its just the 2 of us..very nice room and they helped us with the luggage from the reception to our room which we were really grateful. For the pricepoint, its worth it if you want to stay in the santa clause village to enjoy the quiet santa clause village at night and esp if you have 4 ppl sharing the room. There...

The room is large and comfortable, you can cook your own food, and there is a fireplace and sauna. The location is in the Christmas Village. We arrived at around 12 o'clock and received a call at around 1 o'clock to inform us that we could check in and the luggage had been delivered to the room. The next day, we had an early flight and they packed breakfast for us. The restaurant happened to be open...

The room had a sauna and the facilities were perfect. I didn't see the aurora, but I was very satisfied.

Great service and high quality of all conditions. Tasty breakfast as well.

A perfect place for a stay! The rooms were extremely clean, and set up very well for a family. The front desk receptionist was incredibly kind and friendly, and we ate at the restaurant that is on location several times. Each time the food was very good, and the staff was very accommodating and pleasant.

The location is convenient! Very convenient!! The service staff is also very friendly. The breakfast is rich, but of course it can't be compared with the domestic ones. The room is also good, and it is considered large in Europe.

Great location with easy access to the Rovaniemi City Centre.

The hotel staff was very friendly and took the initiative to help me with my luggage. Convenient location, there is a supermarket nearby. The room facilities are finally complete and the toilet is very large. But there was so much snow on the glass that you couldn't see through it. The only downside is that some of the hotel photos are not well presented, a bit scary

Lovely hotel in a great location! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and assisted us with luggage storage, snow sleds for the children and a packed breakfast when we had an early morning tour. Highly reccommend this hotel!

We love our stay here, the room was really pretty, I just find some hair (not mine) on the pillows so I’ll recommend have a better look at the room cleaning, other wise it was really nice. The location is perfect at the city center and everything is walking distance. If you’re here on winter check out the river close to the hotel! You might see some pretty northern lights at night

Wife, I and grand-daughter just returned; 1-6/January 2025. The hotel is very nice. The service, front desk personnel, and location the best. The restaurant and breakfast buffet top notch. Maybe **** for Europe. but no way a four star hotel for the states. The room was way too small. I think I booked this room a year ago and could only get two twin beds. We squished together the two beds so the eight...

The Hospitality of the whole staff was outstanding. Also the room couldn't be any better. It got quite hot inside the whole room before the night (due to the usage of the sauna) but the aircon was a big help.

Highly recommended, great and modern huts with saunas and hot tubs. Not just an ordinary hotel stay, but an experience in itself. The staff was also great, very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast and good food.

Fancy, expensive, but worth it.That's the point, innit? Hot tub in the outside, spacy sauna in the inside, and a hell a lot of windows for lucky people watching Aurora Borealis. The waitresses, chefs and the whole staff are professionals and kind people. I have never been asked so many times if I like my food or if I need anything. Definitely a must-have experience, where the high prices contain high...

We cannot say anything bad about this place. Wonderful apartment with 2 big beds, sauna, kitchen and the fantastic hot tub outside. Cosy restaurant with delicious food, great breakfast buffet and nice staff. We'd liked to be there longer. Hope we can come back in the future.

Beautiful surroundings. Near to Santa Claus home, Neat, comfortable cottages. good sauna, great outdoor jacuzzi. staff nice. Recommend.

The rooms are perfect and the location is great, I couldn’t be happier about my stay. All the staff is kind and beyond helpful, super attentive to details that can make you more comfortable. Special thanks to Henni, who did the absolute best to make us more comfortable in every way possible. Loved it and would live there if I could!

The Room had 2 twin bedrooms and a double bed in the main area.A kitchen with dining area .A bathroom with Shower and Sauna.And a Balcony high enough to keep the kids safe. Locks were secure n safe.Noise was minimal TICKS ALL BOXES The Hotel had lots for the kids Bowling alley Pool with waterslide Playzone area Plus im sure lots more as it was an Olympic training centre. Location just 10 to 15 mins...

Great family friendly sports hotel. There is a pool, indoors playground and a bowling center within the same building. Highly recommended for eve.

Very friendly staff who are excellently capable of speaking English. The rooms are very clean en we have everything we need in the rooms. The food here was great! Breakfast and diner buffet. The hotel is not far from Ravaniemi, I think it's a 20 minute walk.

This hotel offers excellent value in Rovaniemi. Clean, simple rooms. Super friendly staff. Good breakfast. Great facilities including a pool with hot tubs, but also - at additional cost - a big kids play area, bowling, and all kinds of sports and/or equipment. They also have a restaurant with simple meals like burgers and chicken, etc. - decent food at very fair prices. Great location if you have a...

Really great hotel. Staff were friendly and the room was spacious. The balcony overlooking the forest was great. The breakfast was delicious and the hotel had a lot of facilities (we particularly enjoyed bowling). Great stay

If you are more interested in the sports part this place is great! If your focus is more on the hotel side I'd suggest looking for another accommodation. Food options aren't great, it's a bit far from everything and rooms are OK. Nothing is bad, just feel like the nice hotels in town would offer a better experience overall

Beautiful place to enjoy the day . Just 28Euros/person entrance ticket which includes Ice rolling, Ice Skating and enjoy the Ice sculptures. There is a Ice restaurant inside. Not only children's , even adults can enjoy .

I was so excited to visit this place. I just wanted to take that icy feel. Best part was we had multiple entry on the same ticket. There were many activities such as skating, slide down an icy hill on a tube, an ice bar , and an ice restaurant. It is a place where adults also become children. I enjoyed a lot here and would suggest you too to visit snowman world in Santa Claus village. Follow me on...

Quite fun place. Its in Santa claus village and our schedule to meet Santa was on 24th Dec. 23rd. we were free and we went to Santa Claus Village and visited Snowman world. It’s a nice place to spend some hours. There are some picturesque points. You have an option to ice skate. I tried ice skate but failed terribly :D. If you like ice skate, you can attempt it and if you are already a pro in ice...

It doesn't worth 28€. Yes, snowy igloo was wonderful but what else? One place for tubing and one very small and terrible ice rink? All skates was randomly placed all around the changing room and it was pretty difficult to find my size. I even arranged the skates at the shelves while waiting my husband. All the skates were very cold and so the room itself. The ice rink is super small, it's ridiculous...

Good place in winter for holidays.

Never been would really love to go, please tell me how much it is?

We had a lovely week with a group of 4, perfectly equipped and heated by arrival. Beautiful surroundings and marked hiking trails, very nice place to have holidays.

Safe, clean, beautiful and very formal. recommendable

The chalet is very welcoming. Nothing is missing. Connected to the bathroom there is a sauna for exclusive use. In the external storage there is wood for the fireplace and sleds for having fun on the snowy roads. Near the chalet there is a restaurant and above the restaurant a dimly lit area where you can see, if weather conditions allow, the Northern Lights. The managers of the property are very helpful...

Perfect place to spend few days with your friends or family. 5-6 in total. Be prepared to poor WiFi, but who needs internet while on holidays? All the rest was perfect.

Top hotel, Marcus and his sidekick Kyle in our little care. The cuisine is refined and well presented. Great memories!!!😍😍😍

The perfect arctic circle island with the most amazing hosts. Kyle is truly amazing and has real attention to your needs and Markus is a very gracious host. Perfect cabins and great restaurant. The auroras there have a diferent vibe!

This place is awesome. Such a great history behind and very close to Rovaniemi centre.

Perfect location on an island, nice atmosphere and great food. I've had salmon, overcooked beef, grilled and cooked potatoes with carrots and salad with mustard dip. Everything was prepared on a very high level and the taste was just amazing. The rooms are very spacious and generously equipped. Saunas are also very nice, one has even direct access to the river. It's open during the winter season. During...

Cozy and exotic! Beautiful place! Travel tip: Takeaway food from city center (Restaurant Himo(ex Wakkanai): sushi👌)

Good service, clean room, friendly staff. Breakfast was also nice.

It's right in the city center, Santa Claus' office is downstairs, and there are many restaurants nearby, which is very convenient.

Very good locations. Just walking 2-3mins distance to every activity tour meeting points.

Perfect location, many nice restaurants around. Shopping mall, tour pick-up point in less than 5 mins walk. Highly recommended.

Great central hotel! Super breakfast

we found some rubbish from last customer. The opening of rubbish bin is very dirty full of crumbs.

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.

The room we stayed in was a normal one, but it was 961€ (just under 160,000 yen) for two nights with breakfast, which is a very high-end price. However, not only do Finnish hotels not provide toothbrushes or combs in the rooms, but this hotel also did not provide shoehorns. The room was also dry, and there were other issues such as a broken plug in the bathtub. I ended up at this hotel because I don...

Nice stay Cosy room, very comfy bed, great view, Tasty breakfaat, friendly staff

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

We had a wonderful time there. Everything feels like a dream. Nice location on a hill to give a resort feel while also being close to the city centre. Great restaurant and food. The room with sauna is amazing. All staff are friendly and helpful.

Service is helpful but need attention on room cleaning. They only make up our bed. Location located at the center of the attraction, all was walking distance. Breakfast was good enough and staff were wonderful.

Santa Claus Holiday Village Hotel – A Magical Stay in the Heart of Lapland I recently had the pleasure of staying at Santa Claus Holiday Village in Rovaniemi, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a festive atmosphere that truly captured the spirit of Christmas. The accommodation was cozy, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed...

Great resort in Santa Claus Village with many activities. Staff are super friendly and nice

The location is very good indeed with spending in amount of US$590 for 2 nights . The front desk services is good too! However, the aluminium plating of shower cap is peel off that my finger is hurt. 4 pieces of towels are turned into grey colour and their edge are thrown. There is no connection with house keeping or front desk about your problem in room, you need go to front desk next morning...

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 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...

Overall a good stay, clean and quiet. would recommend some darkcurtains for the apartments as its quite bright outside during spring/summer. Breakfast could use an upgrade, but still good as it was.

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!

We visited this hotel in summer, though it is probably better to visit in winter. The hotel consists of lots of cabins (“igloos”) each of which has a large windows that in winter allow you to see the night sky, in summer it lets you see the midnight sun, which may or may not be your thing. The hotel is near Santa’s village (maybe a 5 minute walk) so very convenient for this attractions. It is about...

about 15 min walk from the bus station. unable to see aurora due to cloudss.

It is worth staying in a premium igloo with a sauna if you travel to Rovaniemi, especially for a honeymoon trip. The experience is truly magical and offers a unique blend of luxury and nature. Overall, staying in a premium igloo with a sauna in Rovaniemi is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is perfect for a honeymoon. The combination of luxury, adventure, and natural beauty makes it an unforgettable...

Overall it was a nice hotel with good service. Breakfast spread was pretty decent compared to your typical European breakfast variety. The main courses that is included in the booking was also not bad - we ordered the Scallop Risotto and Beef Tenderloin. The bed however was very soft, not for those who prefer firm mattresses. It was a pity as we couldn’t witness any Aurora due to cloudy weather so...

There are no words to say this hotel is super duper nice✨👍🏽

The igloo is beautiful, we didn’t get to catch the aurora because it is too cloudy, the morning view is better than the night view. We had a pleasant stay

The hotel is in an excellent location, very convenient for sightseeing and shopping. The facilities and dining provided by the hotel are very good. Although I only stayed for one night, I was still impressed, especially seeing the northern lights at night .

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

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!

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

It's a little far from the hotel where you check in, but considering the cheap price it wasn't too much of an issue, and once you're checked in it's pretty close to the center.

Stay for two nights, we stay in a three-person room Check out is very convenient, just put your room card back in the collection box of your stay at the hotel

The location is also close to the city centre, but you have to check in at Santa hotel Claus and then walk another 10 minutes to the hotel, which is a bit inconvenient. The hotel staff is very nice, they understand Cantonese, are attentive, and patiently explained nearby places and transportation. Finally, they also helped arrange a taxi to Rovaniemi railway station.

It's a bit of a walk from the check-in point, but it's a good hotel. Hotels around Rovaniemi are quite expensive, so I chose this hotel, but for those who don't mind walking a bit, I think the location is not too bad.

Room is clean, but the heater is still a little bit not enough. There is no reception, you have to walk around 10 mins to the counter which is inconvenient in winter

A pretty good hotel~ However, I had trouble finding the check-in counter because it was located at a different location than the hotel. You should check the location carefully when making a reservation.

People are very kind and accomodating. The breakfast is not good, frustrating when you pay a high price for the stay. We stayed 5 nights and had no cleaning in the appartment which was weird but ok, we got to ask for new towels

Very clean, comfortable and safe hotel. Thank you for a perfect service. We can recommend this hotel (apartment suites) for family vacation.

Very Nice Very nice stay, accommodations were awesome, the appartement was very clean and comfortable, the spa/pool/kids fun Park were a great bonus. Breakfast also was very good. I recommand this spot!

I spent a great time in this hotel. Room is big and cleanliness. Staff was very kindly for me.

A great apartment. Easy location to the city and about 15 mins taxi to SCV. The woods and the snow area around the hotel made it for us. Our little boy loved playing in the snow and there is so much scope to do so around the hotel grounds.

We liked the flexibility of having an apartment. Super clean and felt roomy enough for a family of four. Great sauna and the property was nice and warm - sound proofing not great, you can hear your near neighbours. The hotel is a short taxi ride from the town centre and all all attractions. Supermarket about a 10-min walk away.
