The hotel is rather old, the furniture inside is somehow dated, but it is clean. The positive thing was the heating under the bathroom floor. The negative was that I could not find the... More

Hotel centrally located, if you book some snow activities (snowmobiles) this hotel is just next to snowmobiles parking. Rooms are small but clean, very quiet. For dinner wide choice of fishes and meats. Buffet breakfast with eggs, sausages, salmon, tomato, salads, few kinds of breads, It;s OK. One inconvenience - you have to take your key card all the time... More

I was happy with this hotel, stayed one night in a work trip. Hotel was quite modern, stylish and have nice facilities like basic Finnish hotels. Hotel have also friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast, continental style but that is what to be expected. Hotel has also nice small restaurant and location was near the main town, river and shops.... More

Nobody cleaned our two rooms for two days we were there, no changing towels, no paper, etc.. We told to receptionist and she justified without reasons and neither changed the situation, i think that for the hotel's price the behaviour was unacceptable.

As there are so many nice hotels in the same price range in Rovaniemi, I wouldn't stay here again until it's renovated. Funny to say that in Lapland one would need air conditioning in a hotel, but the room we were given was above the common sauna - and it was very warm as was the weather on that summer.... More

Stayed in this hotel with a group of 60 people. Check in was fast despite the run to the reception desk upon leaving the bus. Staff was helpful and very friendly. The room is cosy with 2 single beds, a small sofa and a desk. Plenty of cabinet space to store your arctic clothing and boots. Bathroom clean and efficient.... More
