Reviews
A few minutes walk to the closest bus stop 6/8 and airport/santa Claus Express!
Staff is friendly, room is clean and spacious.
Enjoy the stay here!
Twin room 410 was well appointed, clean, and beds were comfortable; the room safe was easy to set and use. I appreciated the door chain for extra security and peaceful night sleep.
Santas Hotel central location was excellent ,with the padestrian mall, shops, restaurants, and bars literally around the corner.
Taxis could be found out front, and the santa/airport bus was only a short walk up the street. Though do pay attention to santa express pickup and drop-off times as they do not run that regularly.
The buffet breakfast had something for everyone to enjoy! Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, and the Christmas decorations throughout the hotel made my inner child smile.😊
There are many attractions, so be sure to give yourself enough time to experience everything.
I will definitely choose to stay again next time I travel to Rovaniemi.
