We have stayed here before and returned due to many factors. High quality rooms and amenities. Location of the hotel is perfect for any trip out. Views across the river are outstanding. Lots of parking spaces. Breakfast is great and the bar really good. The hotel has everything for families or couples.

The bathroom was super tiny. I understand it needs fit the size of the room, but it was super small. The sink beinh a size of a cutting board. Also a fire alarm was raised but there was no communication when the issue was resolved. The communication could have been better. Also the floorboards are mog carpets, the yoing ones kept slipping and falling as the floor was really slippery. The floor in the bathroom freezing during winter. I just dont understand why the floors arent carpeted. The hotel needs some refurbishments. Breakfast not so great either, could have been much better. Truthfully if given a choice I wouldn't want to stay here again.

Wonderful hotel, our room was modern and clean and fitted 5 of us in (2A, 3C). The bus from the airport and to SCV stops right outside. Our room overlooked the river, there are playgrounds and shops within walking distance. We didn’t eat at the restaurant as the menu wasn't to our taste, but there are loads of places to eat nearby. But the breakfast had a good selection, and we all managed to find something to fill up on for the day! Also to note there are multiple playrooms for kids in both the restaurant and main reception area, which our kids loved! Would absolutely rebook this hotel in a heartbeat!

Room was much nicer then the pictures make them look, was expecting budget travel lodge style from the photos bust actually really well done, good quality and lovely and warm, view was beautiful. I've seen comments about the tunnel, but it's not really that long and saves you going outside in the freezing temps to get to breakfast or the bar. Staff were lovely, friendly and so helpful. Bus stop for Santa village/ park / airport just outside hotel (only real stop in the city for it) so perfectly located, breakfast was good and varied plenty of options for the whole family. If we were to come back we'd absolutely look to stay here again.

Check in was a complete shambles ! We booked a superior room ? The room was so small we had no room to move around , with a suitcase of 28inch a medium case we could not open the bathroom door , no safe , no phone or anyway of contacting reception, we asked for the room to be made up upon our return they had put a roll of toilet paper on the bed , the only thing that had been done.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room, however, felt a little small and lacking, and we expected a bit more considering the price we paid. The layout of the building was also quite unusual — the very long corridors leading to the rooms made it feel more like walking through an underground car park than a 4-star hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay, although on one occasion housekeeping knocked to clean the room quite late in the afternoon. Breakfast was enjoyable with plenty of hot and cold options, though a few items that should have been hot were on the cooler side. Still, there was a good overall selection. We did enjoy our time at the hotel, but like much of Rovaniemi during this time of year, everything comes at a premium.

Location is great. Behind the hotel is the river with beautiful views, in front is a bus stop to Santa Claus village. Multiple restaurants and stores around and close to city center. It's just that we refused cleaning but housekeeper came anyway while we were out.
