I had a very pleasant stay all around! It was the best budget I could find in Dec, and was very pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and staff was very warm and welcoming! The location was great in the downtown area and very walkable to many restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again!

Definitely a modern room with a phone in the room so we don’t have to go down to the reception every time we need something would be highly appreciated. A kettle in the room with few tea bags would be a nice touch

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is in a great location, especially for those wanting to visit the Santa Claus Village. Being so central you have a choice of several dining options and convenience shops. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and always friendly and accommodating. Where the hotel was not so great, it is very dated inside, especially the rooms. The lobby is large but in need of renovation, along with the dining area. The breakfast was also not great, limited choice and an acquired taste at best! Thankfully we only need a room to sleep and rest, and spent the majority of the time seeing the wonderful city of Rovaniemi. All in all a ok hotel in a prefect spot, but let down by its facilities and food. Based on the above we cannot recommend the hotel, as there are several others in the same vicinity for roughly the same price.
