Would recommend to anyone coming to rovaniemi!

We stayed for 2 nights and it was suitable. The biggest fault was the unpleasant scent of the bathroom; we had to keep the door closed at all times. However, no complaints for the price point compared to other nearby accommodation. Wouldn't stay again.

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.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were helpful and the hotel is close to the airport and a shopping mall. The main reasons why I didn’t give the hotel more stars are: There is no lift so if you are travelling with heavy luggage you might want to look elsewhere. The room is pretty old and the bathroom is small. There is not much space between the shower curtain and the shower so it was uncomfortable. The housekeeping didn’t check the shower gel. It was empty on our visit. The toilet paper was in a holder on the wall opposite the toilet seat so only someone with very long arms can reach it. I would not recommend the hotel. Apologies to the staff.

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.
