Just right near the bus stop from Rovaniemi train station. Able to checkin only after 1500. Luggage store provided.
Family room is good for 3 pax. Assigned at the new building with brand new room (Stay Dec 2022).
Room condition superb Clean.
Not much room amenities.
Ssfety box not working.
Housekeeping assisted to setup extrabed. Very efficient.
Near to the shopping centre. Few chinese/Asian restaurant. The fast food restaurants around the corner.
River cannot be crossed and the view was great during sun rise.
Overall bed, shower room was great.
Breakfast was great too. Local spread of food.
Staff helpful and good service in English.
Recommended hotel to stay!

Check in very late with one of the room. We booked 4 rooms. We managed to have three room key by 3pm and the last one was 9pm in the evening. We stayed for 4 nights. No cleaning in the room such as empty the bins or refill / cleaning the coffee cups and drinks. The shower door is not seal tight and leaking after each shower.

Excellent location hotel, good size and modern looking room with very nice riverview. Breakfast was very good with many different choices. The only bad thing was that even though smoking is forbidden inside the rooms, there were some people smoking anyway so our room smelled like an ashtray. Even though we complained to the reception nothing changed. But overall it was a nice hotel and we would stay again.

An old hotel with a good environment, the buffet is very good 👍 The room is old, the hygiene is okay, there is no kettle.

My family arrived at the hotel around 1pm. I asked if possible to check in earlier. I was told the room was not ready. We waited patiently and I went back to the reception to check whether the room might be ready around 2:45pm. The receptionist first said she was not supposed to answer my question as the standard checkin time was 3pm. When I insisted she checked again, she questioned my nationality. I requested to talk to a manager and complained about my experience. The manager said it was their standard procedure to ask about my nationality before checking the room availability. We finally checked in at 3:20pm. The first thing my son found near his bad was a pair of used underwear. The room is tiny. There is nothing except for 3 single beds.
I will definitely not be staying at this hotel in the future. The hotel staff do not respect the guests and there is 0 service. You definitely don’t want to see other people’s underwear in the room.
Our family vacation in Finland was still a memorable one except for the terrible experience at this hotel.

Hotel was ok for what we needed and very centrally located to centre.
Pool was freezing, hence I dipped a toe and came out…quiet as people don’t stay in long.
tea/coffee in room never replenished.
Breakfast was good and plenty to choose from.
Price reflects the season

Loved the newly renovated section , parking is close , no payment , nice room and bathroom was excellent quality … breakfast was great selection and quality … just it was a bit expensive for the overall hotel and no baggage service or help was difficult with 3 kids, snow and small elevators .

Fabulous stay for a family of 4, the hotel is ideally located and has all the facilities that we needed. The breakfast was included and was delicious with plenty of choice. The room was large for a family of 4 and the kids loved the bunk beds. It was quiet and had a beautiful view of the river. I would highly recommend this hotel
