The location was excellent — safe, convenient, and close to restaurants, shops, and nearby attractions.

Scandic Rovaniemi City

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location. Next to a mall and many restaurants around. Outdoor parking without charging option. Big plus to sauna where a balcony is connect, although the sauna is quite small and always crowded."

Arctic City Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a lovely hotel with lots of charm and helpful staff. Lobby has several seating areas that make it feel quite cozy. Our room was quite small but the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was positively Parisian - tiny and everything crammed in! There was a deep tub and tile floor, basically an accident waiting to happen. The tub has a small glass wall that does not contain the shower spray very well. Climbing out of the tub onto the tiny wet floor was nerve wracking. But the sink and toilet are right there to catch yourself. Also, the wall between the shower and the room is glass so enjoy the show! The best part about this hotel was the outstanding breakfast! Plentiful and delicious. We also visited the restaurant for dinner and had a fabulous meal. Highly recommend the restaurant for service and food!"

"This property is fabulous!!! The rooms are super clean with daily room service. The refrigerator is stocked with breakfast plus foods that are restocked daily. There’s a kitchenette with a skillet, pot, and dishes. There’s a free laundry room…And the location is in the city center with less than a 10 minute walk to the supermarket, activity centers and the bus stop. I loved this booking"

Lapland Hotels Sky Ounasvaara

10/10 Excellent

"We loved having a sauna in our room and being able to see the northern lights from the roof top of the hotel. Very close to hiking/biking trails and the breakfast was the best one of our trip."

Hotel Aakenus

8/10 Good

"Förmånligt boende 400 m från centrum, 250 m från köpcentrum. Bra med parkering, bra bastu och skön säng. Det negativa var badrummet där duschen inte hade något skydd så vattnet flöt runt hela utrymmet och man måste lägga handduken på golvet för att vistas "torrskodd" där. Frukosten i normal/enklare format."

Hostel Café Koti

10/10 Excellent

"Nice staff, good location, place was clean, just needed the shower and toilet to be separated better other than a curtain."
