Reviews
Very helpful when needed, food was extremely delicious.
Rooms seemed clear but disappointing bin in bathroom had not been emptied.
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 car (parking available), but you could manage without a car too.
You can walk to an observation tower just nearby if aurora forecast looks good - we saw amazing auroras here - no tour or car needed if the sky is clear.
Honestly, if you are a family traveling with kids, I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Rovaniemi.
Locks were secure n safe.Noise was minimal
