We were a party of three that booked for one night. The hotel is situated near the train station were we arrived in the morning. Our room was available in the late afternoon but it was not a problem to drop our luggage (as in most of the hotels I think). The only minus point here that the storage room... More

The room we had was rather spartanly furnished and a bit on the small side. And our neighbors were Japanese. I do not understand Japanese. Otherwise I could have followed their conversation. Yet all in all, the guesthouse is a clean, centrally located, reasonably priced accommodation, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast is okay, too.

I found my room... More

We stayed in a twin room with three people so we asked for an extra bed in the room which was no problem at all. Towels are provided and we had an ensuite - it's close to the train/bus station and the bus can be caught to visit Father Christmas from the station. It's about a 10 minute walk from... More

its located very close to both the bus station and the train station and is a short walk into town. The staff are generally really helpful and can help with questions about travelling around Lapland.

We only stayed for one night but this guesthouse is located really close to the train station and only a very short walk from the town. The rooms were clean and despite the temperatures outside, it was nice and warm inside. The staff were really nice, recommending good places to go to try to see the northern lights and other... More

I stayed in Guesthouse Borealis for 2 nights. I arrived by train at night, when the reception was already closed. Luckily the owners are very kind and they arranged that I had a key of both the entrance door and my room key. The room where I slept was for two persons. Clean, good looking, small - especially for 2... More
